I started receiving services here under another Psychiatrist who left (for another job that offered…read morea shorter commute, not for any dissatisfaction.) When they left I was going to find another Psych/office simply for the fact I prefer a male therapist/psychiatrist. When I explained this over the phone while they were trying to set me up with an appointment with Dr. Berry they said I would only have to see her temporarily until they hired a new Psych (another male to replace the one who left), so I said 'ok sure'. My first appointment with her ended up being scheduled for the day I found out my mom committed suicide, literally scheduled for what ended up being 2 hours after I found out... I'm sure that was a first for her (previously scheduled appointment with a new patient who walks in almost right after finding something out like that)- however she handled that appointment as calmly as though it has happened a hundred times before. She gave me great insight into processing what happened, while also being a great listener, and not once ever 'saying the wrong thing' which can happen when you're in that sensitive of a moment. Well, I saw her after that with a concern over a undesirable side effect of the medication I was taking and she recommended me something that the previous Psych I had seen didn't know of, that is able to help with what I need AND not have this particular side effect. I am currently still waiting for them to hire a new male Psych, because Dr. Berry's case load is too much to take on new patients on a permanent basis- but I just wanted to write this review to exemplify how I do have a preference for gender relating to this field of medicine/situation, and she was able to impress and satisfy even me! As a side note their offices are very nice and the waiting room area is very appropriate for this line of work.

I'm honestly not someone who usually writes reviews, but my experience with Marisa has been so…read moreimpactful that I felt like I had to share. I drive over an hour each way to see her and it's been so worth it. I originally went to see Marisa for extreme anxiety and ongoing sleep issues, after trying what felt like every modality out there: somatic exercises, journaling, therapy, BIT, meditation, breath-work...you name it. While many of those helped in their own ways, nothing truly moved the needle for me the way hypnoacupuncture with Marisa has. From my very first session, there was an obvious shift. Even the people around me noticed. After that first session, the tension in my shoulders decreased, and the only way I can describe it is that everything (physically & mentally) felt like it had been taken down a notch. Since working with her, my sleep has completely transformed. I went from having an extremely hard time falling asleep and waking up almost every hour, to now pretty much sleeping through the night. If I do wake up, I can fall back asleep easily, and I'm even dreaming a lot which I take as a sign I'm finally getting deep, restful sleep. I've seen such drastic improvements that I genuinely feel like I have a new baseline. I feel so much more in control of my anxiety now and honestly like a completely different person than I was just a few months ago. It's been truly life changing. I honestly wish I could see her weekly. The closest way I can describe how you feel leaving a session is like you just had a massage; you're so relaxed, grounded, and at ease. Marisa has truly touched my life. She is genuinely an angel. She listens, she cares deeply, and she is incredibly dedicated to her clients. If she doesn't have an answer right away, she always follows up, whether by email or the next time you see her, which says so much about the level of thought and attention she gives. I don't feel comfortable around many people, but there's something about her energy that is so light and reassuring. She creates such a safe, welcoming environment, and it makes all the difference. I'm so grateful to have found her and truly can't recommend her enough.

Truly the best. One of a kind. I am so glad to have found Healing Point Therapeutic. I highly…read morerecommend the hypnoaccupuncture and also the intuitive readings. Top notch. Marisa is wonderful in all ways. The office and treatment rooms are also healing.

Still no resolution. When I call am told that there are 580 people ahead of us with billing issues…read more Filling complaint with Mass Health and the AG office. I don't think a state funded health insurer will appreciate being defrauded. Also changing your name to Middlesex Recovery won't help you hide.

Finding Norton Healthcare was a lifesaver for me after I had detoxed. I became addicted to tramadol…read moreaka Ultram, having been told by medical people that is was non-narcotic, non-addicting. It is, in fact, a synthetic opioid that was easily available online for many years. I tried to stop on my own 4 times, and the side effects were so horrible, I went right back to it. The brief detox was unpleasant, but I left the hospital shaky and still with awful side effects. Thank god, I found Norton online right away, and, when I called, they were friendly, courteous, and I didn't feel judged, as I had when I talked to several expensive, inaccessible psychiatrists listed as Suboxone prescribers. Norton made an appointment for me the day after I called and I left the office with a script for a drug that has helped me stay off opioids for 10 years. I've weaned off the suboxone, and now take a very low dose. I hope to stop entirely eventually, BUT, should I need it forever, no problem. I have a normal life. I'm incredibly grateful to Dr. Akhter, the founder, and all of the other doctors and staff who have helped me be a non-addict. Norton Healthcare is the best, and I recommend it to anyone who needs help.

My son had a terrible experience here with an overzealous psychiatrist who I understand is not on…read moreMcClean staff but visiting. Despite our vehement objections, he was held much longer than he should have been given the nature of his issues. The nursing and other staff were fabulous, however.

This place completely changed my life. I am so grateful for the week that I spent there back in…read more2017. I had a serious spell of depression from 2013-2017 after a major life upheaval that I thought I'd never get out of (I'd had a pretty happy and blessed life before that), and tried a few different things during those years to get help including at least two other hospitalizations, but this was the magic place where I found a fresh start - depression retreated finally, and this place also helped me quit drinking. Life's been great since! It's so funny, one of the other reviews I see for this place written by Ashley she had the exact opposite of my experience -- we both tried McLean Belmont and McLean SouthEast, but for, me this place was the winner while Belmont was a total clunker for me, and for her it was the other way around. Anyway, I spent 7-8 days at McLean SouthEast, and I was really impressed with the treatment they offered. Specifically: a) The staff are GREAT, and the system they have really works -- at all hours of the day, you're assigned to a nurse and also to a mental health specialist, which means that if you're having a problem or need to talk to someone you almost never to have to wait, and usually you can pick which of the two you feel more of a rapport with. (Both the nurses and MH specialists are people you'll get to know anyway -- MH specialists teach the classes, lead activities, stuff like that, and the nurses you interact with when getting meds and stuff like that.) Whether it's a panic attack or you just have something logistical you need help with, it's really great when you ask for help and it magically appears, sometimes immediately (and waits aren't long when they happen). The staff are really caring and well-trained -- and there's enough of them that you're bound to find a few you really feel a connection with, and who will be influential in making sure your hospitalization is successful. b) Great "curriculum"/programming. Weekends are sort of a holding pattern until the week starts, but: Each weekday, you have 2-3 little classes where they lead activities and teach you mental health coping skills and big-picture life management stuff, and in my experience usually 1 out of the 2-3 that I took every day were FABULOUS (there's a guy there named Larry Bosco who taught a class I always got a ton out of, he rocks!); the others were mostly fine, with one or two boring ones now and again, but overall I was impressed with the "curriculum." It was like mental health middle school. You do a group "check-in" each morning to set goals for the day, and a "check-out" in the late afternoon to reflect on them, often with some goofy icebreaker get-to-know-you aspect. So each weekday basically goes (it's been over a year so I might be slightly off on some of this): 8amish - Check-in 9am-10:30ish Class 1 10:30-11 Daily doc appointment 11am-12: Break 12-1:30: Lunch 1:30-3:00 Class 2 3:00-3:30 Break 3:30-4:30 Pick one out of three activities (arts class, trivia, or walk as a group to the foosball table down the hall) 4:30-5 Check-out 5-6:30 Break 6:30-7:30 Dinner 8:00-10:00 Free time, you can hang out on your own, watch TV in the communal TV room, and there's usually some activity option if you want, like walking outside or trivia or something) c) I was very happy with the nuts-and-bolts medical care. You get a doc appointment every weekday (Mon-Fri), and I really liked my doctor -- if I hadn't, they had 2 other docs you could try out instead. They really paid attention to what was working and not working, and respected my preferences when I had them, and by the end of my stay I had two medication changes that really made a huge difference to my life (an antidepressant I'd never tried that worked wonders, and a less powerful anti-anxiety medication than the one I'd been taking) and made me feel waaay happier and calmer. d) The facilities are...exactly fine. Not amazing, but not gross or bad. It's like a middle school combined with a college dorm. It's very clean and well-maintained but still institutional and unassuming. Almost everyone was sleeping 2 to a room, and the bathrooms in between each bedroom were split between 2 rooms/4 people. The reason I'm putting 4 out of 5 stars is just because of a few really minimal logistical downsides -- like the mediocre hospital/cafeteria food (most meals were fine and edible, but once or twice I couldn't even bring myself to eat what was being served), the fact that one or two of the staff I met treated me rudely (but that was out of like, 50 staff members I met, and all the rest were REALLY wonderful), and I mean, it's not like a vacation or something. You're in a psych hospital! No privacy, you have a roommate who is ALSO by definition not at their most stable, you don't get to play on your phone or use the Internet. But that's all minor gripes. Cuz yeah, this place gave me my life back - Thanks McLean SouthEast!
