JBFCS Pride of Judea

I speak on behalf of a family member that came here. Unprofessional and licensed therapist. They manipulate and work against families instead of helping them. It’s not my place to give names but they told the caretaker of this minor that had the therapist on staff had been white they would have called social services on parent long ago. Then went again and did it anyway by lying. Do not take your children here. My minor family member is upset and feels her trust was betrayed. If I can give a 0 rating I would

My story is kind of weird. But I’ll go for it anyways. I can hardly believe I am being treated like this. I started my journey in March of 2018. I realized after the car accidentmy boyfriend and I were in I was having difficulty with life. I shortly found out within weeks I had PTSD. I was seeing a woman named Dina and she was good for me but suggested I find a place that was more suitable for my needs. That was only when she was leaving that she told me such a thing. She said that no one there was able to give me what I needed. Wrote me a beautiful letter and exited and leaving me without any help. Spoke with Dr. Sullivan who is suppose to be the head of psychiatry. Nothing! Spoke to her and she was of no help. You pushing a psychiatrist on me that I didn’t actually share any bond with. He wanted me to go on heavy meds and I wasn’t ready but last a comment that if I am not willing to take any of the meds there is no need to see him. On that meeting I really did feel alone knowing Dina wasn’t there any more. Now my psychiatrist wasn’t cool and on top of that they set me up with someone who they knew couldn’t take me and let me drive all the way over there for no such appointment. Ok that was one part. The second part is spoke to the head of the therapist Art Weiner twice. He said they had no one to help me there that he would look for help for me. After arguing with me constantly about Dina not putting the appropriate title (PTSD) on my account that he has no idea after 9 months of being diagnosed with this that he even said maybe you have this. But that he didn’t know that for sure until he read my charts and called me back later that evening apologizing to me saying that there is no one certified there and he would help me. Never heard from him after That. Recently I’ve been seeing sayeed a new therapist who at the first appointment she was mixing me up with maybe her symptoms. I asked if she even read the chart and she said she liked to find things out of her own. I asked her a couple of questions and she is just drown into this big mess. So now since November I haven’t had much therapy because no one wants to handle me. They just yes me to death. Patrick haenlein is the Psychiatrist who tried to force drugs on me. Hey unprofessional. So now I am stuck with no one to help me because I feel like they messed up and should have never been taking care of me from the beginning. Trying to get ahold of anybody over these people have been nothing but a joke. They all defend one another. They all say the same thing which is we will help but no one does. So dr. Sullivan, art, sayeed the therapist and anyone else just hear me take my phone number and than just don’t call. I call my therapist last week saying I was having a bad week and she never even called to see how I was doing. Not a hi or you ok after saying I haven’t left the house. This week she actually called me to see if I was coming and I couldn’t get into The car. She said she would call me back at our scheduled time which was 12 and she called me at 12:23 which at that time I asked why sh didn’t get back to me with any info and she said she was so busy to call me. And went on and said when I asked her why not my appt she couldn’t return a call she said she got busy. The joke is I don’t leave my house and they don’t care I am going deeper and deeper. It’s amazing. So now I will show up every week so maybe they will help me. If there is anyone that is reading This and can help me please reach out to me. Someone important has to read these no??

This place had the nerve to send me a bill for 40 dollars, 10 months later, and after they refused to see me and after they already received payment from my insurance policy. Psychologist in charge would not prescribe me meds or give me case management. All they want is money. No public service. And , I'm sure I paid the 40 dollars in cash upon my intake. Mostly training and inexperienced staff.

I've been attending Pride of Judea since 2010. The various therapists, doctors, and staff have demonstrated nothing but professionalism, courtesy, and empathy in my presence. In fact, in the seven years I've been going to Pride (as of this review), I honestly can't recall having a single bad experience. Two things I feel all would-be patients should be aware of: A lot of the specialists here are still completing their coursework, so be prepared to get transferred to another therapist/psychiatrist every 6 months-1 year or so (typically, closer to the latter). This doesn't bother me so much personally, as sometimes I plateau with a person and getting assigned someone new provides a fresh perspective. If you don't like the idea of repeatedly starting over though, request a therapist with some seniority. Second, the sessions are on the short side (30-45 minutes). If you think this might be an issue for you, I would consider pursuing other options such as coming in more than once a week. Just some general advice. If I had one piece of critical feedback for this place it's that I wish they offered more services catered towards young people. Other than that, I recommend Pride of Judea if you've got mental health issues or you just really need somebody to talk to who "gets it". Already got a friend to start coming here.
