I was her patient for 5 months and then fired her. The entire 5 months she never sent me a bill. Then the week after I fired her, I received a bill. The bill had all the details of my 5 months with her. However, missing from the statement was a total of 8 payments that I made to her, totaling $455 that she never posted to my account. I have left 3 voice mails and she refused to return my calls to discuss it. I had to file a notice of claim on her in small claims court. She is careless and sloppy. Her office is dirty. Her couch is so filthy, I refused to sit on it. Her website is sloppy and even has misspellings on it. Her website says that she is a "Metal" Health Resource. Diana does not pay attention to details. She is also a liar. I wish I had never made that first appointment with her. ...read more

Appeared professional one moment (returning phone calls), while unfrofessional the next moment (very unkind words said in sessions - intimidation/rudeness - I wish I had tape recorded her. Very unprofessional. I wouldn't take my brother/child with autism to her if she was free).Surprisingly, she claims to be one of the "top experts in autism" but this is scary to find someone that is this intimidating, what she could do or say to a person more vulnerable than me (severely affected,a child, etc). She accused me of being dishonest about having Asperger Syndrome, while I told her, I would show her paperwork to prove it. She also accused me of self medicating with my anxiety meds when this isn't true at all. After the 6th session, I never seen her again. The office environment was very uncomfortable (seating, etc) for someone with sensory issues. I didn't feel right about her. She may have 43 years of experience, but her flippy floppy attitude won't get her anywhere. SIGHS. :( ...read more

To be an effective nonprofit executive, there are certain things you can do beyond defining and pursuing a mission or tracking results. Here are three areas of impact that can position your organization to thrive. One pivotal lever for impact is the ability to communicate a message powerfully to the desired service group and to the supporters of the nonprofit.To achieve the first aim, a nonprofit leader has to make the social issue as relevant, understandable, and emotionally gripping as possible to his or her constituents. The leader also needs to build a memorable and compelling identity for the nonprofit. By doing these things, the nonprofit will stand out among the many social service groups that compete for scarce resources in a community. The nonprofit will, in turn, engage its service population to the fullest and become a magnet for talented staff, passionate volunteers, and crucial grants and donations. For these reasons, communication power is at least as important as metrics and efficiency, and perhaps even more crucial. A second lever is the ability to design and run an operating model that generates lasting results rather than short-term results among the service group.The nonprofit leader should study the dynamics of the social issue all the way back to root causes, figure out where along this trajectory the nonprofit should begin its intervention, and then time the intervention to short-circuit potential problems for the service group early in the causal chain. The leader should use his or her position to focus the nonprofit on prioritizing early-intervention activities and then seek deep impact, even if deep impact means serving fewer clients than before. Over many years, the volume of impact matters, but in the early years of an initiative, the leader should focus on testing and refining the interventions to see which approaches really take hold in clients’ lives. Don’t expand the scale or scope of the nonprofit until the service delivery model has really proven itself in practice. A third lever is strategic recruitment and training.Earn a reputation for being a judicious selector of potential board and staff members. These people need to realize from the outset that they will be expected to commit wholeheartedly to the cause, or else they should not bother joining. It may take a while to assemble an outstanding cast, but the results will reward the leader’s care and perseverance. It is usually better to have five outstanding team members than ten good ones, since the outstanding ones can build the strongest foundation for the long term. If they introduce high-quality solutions and demonstrate a great work ethic, they will elevate the aspirations and commitment of all subsequent recruits. Nonprofit leadership is complex, so many other factors bear consideration, too, but the above priorities will deliver the greatest impact from day one.

It is a disease devastating to both families and victims. Untreated it can have devastating consequences. Causes vary with each individual, however, Eating Disorders are thought to be a condition influenced by genetic, sociological and psychological factors. This complex disease takes on many forms including: Anorexia: Obsessive pursuit of thinness characterized by food restriction, refusal to maintain a normal body weight, intense fear of gaining weight and distorted body image. Bulimia: Eating compulsively large amounts of food and then purging the food the use of exercise, laxatives, drugs and induced vomiting. Compulsive Overeating or Binging: Feelings of guilt and shame follow the consumption of large amounts of food. Many times the binging is done in secret or takes on the form of eating all day long. Symptoms vary and often times the victim does not even realize that they have an illness. Symptoms include: ▪ Distorted body image and obsession of weight ▪ Low self-esteem and feelings of helplessness ▪ Feelings of loss of control for the victim ▪ Rapid weight loss ▪ Guilt, shame and depression ▪ Perfectionism ▪ Lying about food and eating habits ▪ Preoccupation with food ▪ Difficulty identifying feelings and expressing them ▪ Compulsive exercise ▪ The perception that weight determines self-esteem The Eating Disorders Program Includes: • Individualized Psychotherapy • Family Therapy • Therapist lead group • Psychiatric referral • Dietician referral • Psychological testing available **Most major insurance and managed care companies are accepted.
