Unfortunately, my experience working with Barbara Garrett has been terrible. Barbara's services was initially setup by my son's father and my first telephone conversation with her felt rushed and ended abruptly. We were in need of a therapist for my son which was mandatory by the court. It has been three months since we hired Barbara and she fails to reply back to my emails requesting for an update on the status of my son's sessions. At this time, I do not know if my son has met his appointments, how many times Barbara has met with him, and if a schedule has been developed (weekly or biweekly sessions). I have requested to meet with her in person and to conduct a family therapy session which has not been done. In my opinion, Barbara is not reliable, displays no empathy or sincerity. I do not feel she has taken my situation as serious as I do. ...read more

Did you know if you can't pay the balence your insurance won't cover within 2 months, it automatically goes to collections? If you set up a payment plan it must be paid within 3 to 6 months. I called the business office to set up a payment plan of $20.00 a month within 2 days of discharge. I'm a single mom who gets no support from her ex husband. The original person was nice and explained their policy. A week later, another call was left on my voice mail. I returned the call and the lady was unprofession and downright nasty. When she told me the charity I was approved for was taken away because I couldn't pay ithe $2,000 within the 3 to 6 months, I just got off the phone and cried. I'm struggling trying to get care for my child. I guess if you are on public assistance, this wouldn't matter but the average middle class single mom...........be warned. ...read more

I gave them the $1000 with great hopes of great dates and hopeful of finding my match and lifetime mate. Ugh. What a waste of time and money. In the interview I had given them three things I sought in a mate. Very simple things. One was "I don't want anymore kids". Ha. My first two set-up lunches were "matches" that definitely wanted kids. I took the loss, canceled the service and forfeited the remaining eight dates. They sell a good story, but they are useless. Waste of time. ...read more
SMART when applied to goal setting stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Timely. Keeping New Years's resolutions, actually losing the weight you plan to, getting organized and stressing less are all admirable things to strive for. What these good intentions often lack is a guide for making them happen. By framing desired achievements around the SMART acronym, even long term goals can become a reality. Specific: A specific goal is one which states exactly what you want to accomplish. Inherent in the stated goal is some sense of how, when and why you are striving for this outcome. Losing weight is a popular goal but it's not very specific. Are you losing weight to improve health, impress an ex you expect to see at a reunion or to fit in a slinky dress? Your reason behind the goal can dictate how to go about it. Measurable: Measurable goals generally involve numbers. Saying you want to eat healthy isn't quantifiable. Are you hoping to decrease BMI by a certain percent? Is your motivation lowering cholesterol? Attaching an actual amount to the goal keeps you honest and insures you'll stick with it. Achievable: Everybody dreams of writing a bestseller, traveling to all 50 states or retiring at age 55. Sounds great but are these goals achievable? Aiming for the moon often results in disappointment. Sometimes setting modest goals is the best way to insure success. If you want to pay off your credit card debts, getting a job might be your real goal. Employment is achievable while reducing debt with little or no income is not. Relevant: From a young age kids are encouraged to dream big. Definitely shoot for the stars but also temper that with a dose of reality. Relevant goals are those which tie in to your present circumstances. You shouldn't put the cart before the horse. Sometimes you have to pay your dues and be patient before it's your time. Make sure goals match both your current and future reality and apply to your life as it is today not how you hope it will be. Time-bound: Timing is everything and certainly factors into goal setting. SMART goals are time-bound. You should have a start and completion date in mind along with measurable benchmarks along the way. If you are prone to procrastination or always have an excuse why it's not a good time, then you understand the crucial importance of keeping your feet to the fire. Whether your goals are personal or professional, keeping these elements in mind will help you manage them. You hold the keys to your success so take control and map out how you plan to reach your goals. ...read more
