There's much more to say than this, but it is a start. First, I do not like leaving negative…read morereviews; usually there's more to a story than a "one star" review. However, because of one -- for lack of a better term -- cataclysmic event, I cannot and will not leave any more than one star. However, there were many great things about the company. So please read the review because it is my hope they improve, and that others may be helped by them and the positive aspects of the organization: the idealism, the good intentions at the outset, etc. It is sad because they staffed many great, intelligent folks with compassion up to a point. Reasonable plans were made, but not fully executed; rather most time was spent formulating/changing plans or our kids and family building rapport with new staff. That's all we are willing to say. Our family is now personally afraid of the company and traumatized by the experience. I'd say in consumers with complex or refractory cases with significant external team collaboration needs, perhaps consider other options, or know at least in our case we were confidently presented several plans but ultimately were failed/harmed spectacularly. They just could not execute the plans, and someone there -- at least one BCBA and we think in the end management -- had this sort of consumer blaming thing going on. They could make as many mistakes as they pleased but consumers had to be some sort of perfect, angelic saints at all times in their own homes and roll with all kinds of chaos but have none of their own fallibilities. These folks truly seemed to feel completely entitled at key times to criticize their clients who are going through unspeakably difficult circumstances. It was as though we were expected to thank them for paying their staff well, and because of that the issues we brought forth, or any frustration we felt, was a) taken personally when it wasn't personal and b) ridiculous. Some issues would have been understandable so long as they were eventually resolved and were staff and or management "attitude" not present; sadly, that was not always the case. Perhaps what happened to us is rare, because if not I do not know how they remain in business other than that theirs is a captive clientele base desperate to help their kids. ABA has long waitlists which can lead to providers/managers viewing clients as replaceable or like they are employees of the company. It's a providers market. There's always a waitlist. There's always someone who might not speak up about true issues in care, or who will be better able to subvert their pain in a way that they didn't feel "tainted" their staff. Unfortunately, quality healthcare doesn't work that way, and grave harm was done. You've got to have problem solving conversations when the stakes are this high. We wish staff well. They didn't fulfill their mission -- read the statement -- in our case, but I wish them well in continuing to try.

(Reviewing the PHP part) This is definitely not a one-size-fits-all program. Luckily, the type of…read morecare they provided fit me pretty well. Very structured routine, 9 to 430 every day.

My teen son (dx: mood disorder/presumed bipolar disorder, ADHD, ASD, etc.) recently did the…read moreresidential program at Pathlight Seattle for a month. Unfortunately, it was an incredibly disappointing experience. I would not recommend it. The program is in an upper floor commercial space, and they usually only went outside the front entrance twice daily briefly for "fresh air breaks." There were supposed to be weekly outings, but they were revoked. This was very upsetting to most of the youth, who pleaded to go outside more but were dismissed, and who even met with the patient advocate and wrote a letter themselves to management about this. There was no gym or way to get any movement, and they couldn't run around at all when on the short breaks. There were various therapy groups throughout the day, which my son did not find helpful. Some were just listening to music, watching kid movies, or drawing on their own, while watched by regular staff. Likewise, I did not find parent groups at all helpful--extremely basic and general info, and I did not think the staff leading the parent groups were very skilled. The positive part was that their psychiatrist seemed excellent. Unfortunately, though, I believe he is only on staff there part-time. He also was out of the office for a chunk of my son's stay, and the one and only time I was able to speak with him directly was after my son had already been there for ~3 weeks, and only after that did he receive a recommendation for medication. He was reluctant to take it, and this wasn't enough time to persuade him to try it before he left. Note, there was also a physician assistant, but whom I also found disappointing for various reasons. Seemed to me nowhere near the skill level as the psychiatrist (and per their bio graduated just ~2 1/2 yrs ago), and I also did not hear from them after intake day except for when they responded to an email I sent (because I was concerned that a med contraindicated for BD may have been brought up to my son as an option). A patient with complicated, severe mental illness like my son required the knowledge/training of a psychiatrist. I had little communication with anyone from Pathlight after the intake day, when I was able to meet with several staff (but not the psychiatrist). The communication was generally just from my son's therapist, but this was during the weekly family therapy session. In reality, since this was the time to talk about my son and how he was doing, that is what most of the session time went towards. There was also not a way I could call my son or easily reach staff by phone; I had to wait until my son called me during limited call times they had. There is supposed to be a care coordinator, but I only heard from her when he first started there, when she emailed me a quick intro and directed me to complete a survey. Nothing since. We are left particularly soured from his quick exit. He was suddenly kicked out early due to minor misbehaviors, and I needed to get him on very short notice. He told me another teen there was also suddenly kicked out for minor misbehavior on the same day he was (plus I am aware of a third teen discharged early for minor misbehavior from around the same time). He said the other teen found out when staff, while laughing, told them to start packing. That was 1 1/2 weeks ago, and I never heard from anyone at Pathlight since. To my disappointment, I was not able to have a final/second conversation with the psychiatrist first, which I really wanted to ask about recommended medication, etc. When I had let the therapist know that I would have really liked to have been able to have a final conversation with the psychiatrist, he said he would ask him to call me the next day, but that didn't happen. When I arrived to pick him up at the agreed time, he was just brought out by a nurse--no final contact with anyone on the treatment team. He was just dumped out, with no apparent improvement from anything there, then silence. I also think his physical health was worsened from the month indoors without movement, etc.

Yuwei was not transparent in her rates - which are buried somewhere in the many pages of documents you have to sign. Nor is she transparent about not accepting any insurance despite the forms she has you fill out has a section where you upload your insurance information. For all of the "equity" talk on her website - she is completely oblivious to how much money this is for a normal working family. What couple could possibly afford the $1250/month worth of therapy she is going to prescribe to you? Despite us saying that we're not in crisis, simply interested in gaining more tools as a couple, she bulldozed over what we had requested - which was monthly sessions, and then urged that we do two sessions a week! 8x what we were doing with our previous therapist. $750 - and all that happened was getting our backstory. No actual help, nothing at all tangible. So I can't comment on if this massive investment will ever have any payoff. With the price that Yuwei charges I'm certain going on a monthly vacation would be a much more productive use of your money. P.S. You cannot claim you're an "equitable" therapist and do nothing to accept health insurance.
