This review is going to be short because I don't want to reveal much about my medical health, but I…read morecan't say enough good things about Dr. B. He's simply a very intelligent and articulate, cute old man! Conveniently located in a building right across the Children's Hospital, I chose him out of geographic convenience and some good reviews I read about him on another site. I'm more than happy to be the first to review him here.

I may be a little biased because this is my place of employment. However, long before I worked here…read moreI've volunteered for various fundraisers such as the yearly Art for Change and Donut Dash. This is an LGBTQ facility that offers drop-in service where homeless and those otherwise in need can shower, rest, do laundry, get a bite to eat and get groceries from our food pantry. Our community side offers a number of programs and events open to the public as well as services for those in need. We also have a mental health division with fully licensed and accredited therapists and psychiatrists. If you know anyone in need of help/services within the LGBTQ community our non-profit is here to do what we can.

I found the name and number of a therapist in this practice on my insurance's website. She returned…read moremy call and seemed OK and said to call her office to set up an appointment. It was apparently more complicated than that. The receptionist asked me some intake info that went beyond insurance info. Most of it was yes-or-no questions, "Do you ever feel suicidal?" "Do you have trouble sleeping?" I thought it was strange that I had to answer these questions after reviewing my needs with the therapist I'd be seeing. And I wasn't too keen to open up to some faceless receptionist, but whatever. Then she asked, "What are your goals for therapy?" I responded, "I am in a public place and can't answer that now." She snorted back, "You're not being very helpful." I was stunned but managed to reply, "I can say the same of you." I called the therapist directly and relayed the whole thing and said I was canceling everything. She called me and apologized, which I appreciated and accepted. My friends with more experience in this field told me they didn't know of any therapist who outsourced this kind of work to a receptionist and it was a "red flag." I know that for the paraprofessionals of the mental health world all the worst things that happen to people are just lines on a form to fill out but there's no reason to be rude about it.

I worked with Heidi for 10 years to overcome a variety of issues, many of which were the effects of…read moreearly childhood sexual abuse. I found her to be an exceptional professional. She was always attentive and concerned, and was never judgemental. I'm sure I presented her with some very difficult problems and more than a few awkward moments, but she maintained her patience and her understanding to the point where she was able to help me to be more like the person I always hoped to be. With her assistance, I faced addiction, divorce, rehab, and, finally, my past. I never felt alone for one moment in her presence. She has a gift for patience, acceptance, and caring that are her greatest strengths. Her ability as a counselor is the most significant reason that today, I have a loving family and a successful career.

Go to this facility with caution. I was admitted for treatment of ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food…read moreIntake Disorder), and unfortunately, it quickly became clear that the staff is primarily trained in treating physical eating disorders -- not the mental, sensory, or neurodivergent factors that come with ARFID. Despite repeatedly advocating for my needs, I was denied basic accommodations. My blood sugar had to drop to dangerous levels before anyone took me seriously. As an autistic person, the environment was extremely overstimulating -- loud, bright, chaotic, and heavily structured in a way that felt unsafe for my nervous system. While many of the staff were kind and supportive, a small number -- including one of the main nurses -- made my experience traumatizing. I was often treated with suspicion or indifference, and even basic requests (like a snack before bed) were denied, labeled as "special privileges." Meanwhile, I watched others have their needs met without pushback. My family and I were even met with hostility and unprofessionalism when raising concerns. I lost 4 pounds in just 4 days under their care, and my parents ultimately had to sign me out to protect my health. Since then, I've been trying to recover at home. Months later, I'm still dealing with the emotional fallout and have had to start therapy to unpack the trauma. If you're neurodivergent or dealing with a nontraditional eating disorder like ARFID, be very cautious. You deserve care that's compassionate, trauma-informed, and respectful -- this was not that.
