Counselor does not pay attention to details and misquoted statements given and gave a bizarre assessment in part not matching a true diagnosis. Same Info was given to another mental evaluation counselor not even close to a match. A misdiagnosis was given.

I would give them no stars if that was an option. They cater to individuals who are in desperate situations with children yet offer no flexibility in appointment times or child care. Do realize that they are more expensive 150$ on their assessments and you will be assessed by an inexperienced “counselor”. Also realize that no matter what the details are of your situation that of course they are going to “recommend” further classes. They have an office in a low rent district and charge a premium. If you are stuck in a situation requiring an assessment then it would be best to just wait and go to origins. They are most certainly only interested in getting money and not in actually helping someone who is in need. Low overhead -rent and cheaply paid staff+ overpriced services=someone profiting on others pain. Then they require drug tests for any and every situation. And they stand inside the bathroom and watch you while you pee. It’s a very degrading process and they could care less.

Trust me, there are a lot of unethical and shady things happening at this place. There's a reason why they offer the cheapest services around. Just talk to any former employee and they'll tell you.

If you come here, you will feel degraded. Embarrassed even. The assessment interviewer will treat you as if you’re a junkie regardless of what your situation is and how you got there. She may also be racist and/or sexist. The staff will bring you in for the assessment after explaining over the phone that they do indeed have the program you’re looking for, set you up for an appointment- just to tell you that they can’t help you because they don’t have that program.. and they just keep your money anyway. The assessment is 150$. Doctors are supposed to help people. Not make them feel like peasant ghetto trash. She’s the old blonde with the pixie cut.
