The most unprofessional organization I have seen in years. I took my daughter here seeking help. Initially most of the staff was beneficial. Staff was professional. However, after meeting with Kristi Dutton, and two confrontational appointments later, I walked out of her office and asked to speak to a supervisor. I was told that staff would attempt to place my daughter with someone else and that I would receive a call on Friday. I did not receive a call on Friday, and when I called the supervisor refused to speak to me. Seems they were just placating me to get me out of the office. I am not a difficult person, and why they retain staff that, although credentialed, have the bed side manor of a brick is beyond me. Avoid, take your child or loved one someplace else. ...read more
