I struggled for many years to find the right person. Through a friend I was told to about Betsy…read more Wow, from the first time I met her I knew she was the right person for me. She didn't just sit there and tell me what I wanted to hear. She took the time to listen and then worked with me to resolve many of my personal issues from my family, marriage and childhood nightmare struggles. Betsy has a firm but gentle way of getting to the extremely difficult hard stuff and helping you gain the strength to face it. She helps with pealing back the layers to get to the actual issue. She unlocked things I thought I would never be able to face and then we faced it together. I am truly thankful for her wisdom, knowledge and continued strength to help me as I continue to move forward. She is an A+ therapist and I will continue to recommend her.

They will also tell you that if you do not stay the entire 30 days you will get a prorated refund which is untrue. $4900 with scholarship and I stayed 1 week and knew I was ready to go home and get back into the recovery community at home. They refunded $1045. $4900 divided by 30 days =$163.33 / day. $163.33 times the 7 days I was there comes to $1143.31. The 23 days that I did not stay comes to $3756.59. Subtract the $1045 they refunded is $2711.39 they kept after claiming refunds are prorated. The fresh staff at the Retreat are about the money, not helping people. Now I'm struggling financially and with winter just around the corner I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to heat my home all winter. What do I let go to stay warm? Food? electric? Property taxes? Do I sell my vehicle and stop driving when I live in a rural area. They have made my life very, very difficult!

The therapists may be fine. Probably good depending on who you get etc. but the front staff are all…read moreidiots. Our issue is the people scheduling and billing. Nobody seems to have an ability to schedule the correct appointments and the billing department can't even give you a statement on how much an appointment with a therapist is going to cost. Could you imagine going into target and having to pull something off the shelf, buying it and then waiting for a bill 3 weeks later that's a mystery until you open the mail? And even that is minor compared to the insanity of their scheduling department. Our therapist has on her schedule our appointments. But the front staff keeps rearranging them and we get a notice of a different day or week. So we have to call in. Say no, we're next week. They don't see it on their schedule even though the therapist has apparently told them so and specifically told us. And we've told them. There's been a gap of a month in appointments due to consistent scheduling issues which is inexcusable when you're dealing with mental health issues. We've shown up on days we were scheduled through the therapist only to be told by the front staff we are not that day and sent home. Then get a call from the therapist wondering where we are. I would encourage anyone out there to seek a different clinic or provider unless this is your absolute last chance. Their schedule and billing staff are all morons. I don't say that lightly. Nobody knows how to do their job and when instructed, they still cannot perform the basic duties of letting you know how much their service will cost or when an appointment is set.

My parents sought couples counseling hoping for a neutral, professional environment where both of…read morethem would feel heard. Instead, they experienced one of the most unprofessional and damaging therapy sessions they have ever had. Throughout the session, Brian repeatedly sided with my father while criticizing and belittling my mother. He called her "controlling" and even a "gold digger"--labels that were judgmental, humiliating, and completely inappropriate coming from a mental health professional. Rather than helping them communicate or understand one another, he seemed intent on tearing my mother down. She left the session feeling attacked, embarrassed, and emotionally devastated. The most shocking part was that at the end of the appointment, Brian told them he only wanted to continue therapy with my father. That completely undermined the purpose of couples counseling. Instead of working to help the relationship or support both partners equally, he effectively dismissed my mother and chose one side. As they were leaving, he said "adiós" to my Hispanic mother while simply saying "goodbye" to my white father. Whether intentional or not, it came across as insensitive and left my family feeling disrespected. A couples therapist's role is to create a safe, balanced, and impartial environment--not to shame one partner, take sides, and end the session by suggesting he would rather only work with the other spouse. My parents paid for professional guidance and instead walked away feeling judged, humiliated, and worse off than when they arrived. Based on their experience, I would strongly discourage anyone seeking couples counseling from choosing this provider. Dr. Cristina Marier

This provider fraudulently billed my insurance with a false diagnosis to justify her reason for billing and then falsified my records in her notes. I reached out to the director multiple times Bill Rush asking him to send me my entire assessment. I explained in multiple letters that this provider Diana Travis -Bryan falsified my records for monetary gain and refused to redact it. After multiple requests sent to Bill for redaction, Bill Rush ignored all of my concerns and has not sent my records. I filed complaints with the professional board of Psychology. This provider is the reason why DHS is very present in Minnesota. "Christian" them does not mean the same as Following Christ. Avoid this provider at all costs, and check your insurance provider to find out if a false diagnosis was given to secure payment.

I went here for a first appointment and this psychiatrist Iris Medini was the worst psychiatrist I…read morehave ever had. I'm 60 and have seen psychiatrist since I was 18. She obviously just did not want to take my case. I do not know why. This is what I experienced. She will ask you questions and while you are answering she speaks over you and interrupts until you are agitated by asking another question. This was repeated until I had to speak louder to feel heard. Then she says this might not work because you are getting agitated. I told her it was because she kept interrupting me. She said if she didn't I would just keep on talking. I feel like she did that on purpose and I believe that was very unethical behavior. Interrupting, being rude and triggering someone's PTSD on purpose isn't good or professional. I just needed medication management. I'm already diagnosed and I have a Therapist. I needed her to review my DSM and my psycho neurological tests which she didn't even have in front of her yet. Anyway she did reject me but I agree we aren't a good match because a psychiatrists most important quality is to be a good listener. I also feel like her knowledge of medications is lacking due to our conversation about Straterra and Cataplexy. It absolutely can be used to treat it. I googled it and it is used for that sometimes and it has helped me with my Cataplexy so, she was not going to continue a med I depend on to function anyway.

The billing department did try to accommodate my needs. I was unable to accept the new schedule, but I consider that a reflection of the current financial climate and my financial responsibility, rather than the provider being inflexible. I think it is important to report when an agency or provider wants to make things better and help, and this one has.
