My daughter was self-harming and had zero self confidence when she first met with Julie. My daughter would not talk to us or come out of her room. 2 years later and my daughter has become a self-confident 18 year old who knows how to use the tools that Julie taught her. I cannot stress how much consistent therapy has helped my daughter see her worth and have hope for her future now. Julie has always maintained confidentiality between her and my daughter, but will meet with me separately to offer suggestions for things we can do at home to help make our daughter in her journey to mental wellness. After the initial appointment, scheduling was a breeze. I am able to make weekly appointments a month in advance. I highly recommend Julie Ferguson for teen girls, she is a gem.

We attempted to schedule an appointment for a minor at Germantown Psychological Associates. What…read moreshould have been a straightforward intake process became a series of administrative errors, inaccurate explanations of federal policy, and unprofessional conduct that created unnecessary barriers to care. Based on this experience, I would never feel comfortable entrusting my family's care to this practice.Save yourself the headache. Explore other providers. Major issues encountered: Intake forms promised via email were never sent, and no clear appointment confirmation was provided -- despite multiple phone calls. And that's if the intake department even calls to begin with after requesting the appointment on the initial call. The intake department had to be called weeks later and prompted to initiate our intake process, which includes several digital forms. After forms were not received, we were informed of a policy that appointments are cancelled if paperwork isn't submitted in advance -- a tricky requirement when the paperwork itself was never issued. If you want a disgruntled young lady with a flat affect to condescendingly explain how your email's spam folder works, this is the practice for you! Spoiler Alert: The intake forms were not in the spam folder even after I learned how to check it, much to my good sis's chagrin. During the multiple phone conversations required to correct their administrative oversight, staff consistently demonstrated a condescending, dismissive tone. Staff explicitly refused to verify insurance coverage and redirected us to handle it ourselves in a dismissive manner. After we believed everything had been addressed, there was still ambiguity regarding whether the intake appointment even remained scheduled. When I arrived in person with a completed copy of the intake form and attempted to confirm the appointment, staff refused to confirm anything because I did not have a Release of Information. In this instance, no protected health information was being requested or shared -- we were attempting to confirm whether an intake appointment existed for a patient not yet established in care. Rather than clarify policy or escalate appropriately, the interaction became argumentative. As tensions rose, the office manager physically raised her hand to silence me in conversation rather than addressing the administrative breakdown. If nothing else, their commitment to the bit was admirable, albeit concerning. At no point was there accountability, clarity, or an effort to repair the situation so that a minor could access needed clinical assessment services. For a practice offering ADHD and psychological assessments, administrative precision, accurate policy communication, and respectful interaction should be foundational. Instead, this experience created barriers to accessing care. We promptly withdrew our paperwork and sought services elsewhere. For something as sensitive as securing healthcare for your family, the intake process should not feel adversarial. I left discouraged that families in our community may encounter this level of disorganization and dismissiveness when seeking care. Families navigating psychological evaluations are already managing significant stress. Administrative disorganization and inaccurate policy explanations should not compound that burden.

On the 3 to 11 shift Tony is just plain unfriendly and favors females. But Tico who comes in at 3 is very professional and superbly respectful. He helped me make a smooth departure. Chelsey Smith and Sierra Graham came in but didn't speak. Neither did Joyce. They all work in outpatient therapy. Debra Gill is very professional. The cafeteria experience is second to none but they play games with the food. The food and drinks served are great but I do think that they should allow the staff to eat for free. Ashley and Kyle are very friendly. Donald seemed bent on proving that he had a cold. No place in Metro Memphis is a better place to go to when you are a threat to yourself or someone else. Kimberly Rickels is just plain too busy. One of her therapists spent 20 minutes of every hour using the bathroom. The same therapist lost her keys so they searched me.

They didn't tell me he's was sent to two emergency rooms and I found out through his patient portal the next morning. I flew down to Memphis from VT because my brother was in the ICU for a month with a brain bleed. He was never the same. Went home after rehab and he could no longer walk independently, had constant head pain, and more hallucinations from the stress of trauma. Ultimately, I moved him to VT a month later. He ended up being shot and killed by police as he had a mental health crisis in his home- he was alone with no weapons. I blame this facility for contributing to his death. When I finally received the medical notes from the facility- there were three different versions of what happened at the hospital. They had no working cameras. I complained to the state and since there was no evidence (not sure why head trauma wasn't evidence) it was our word against theirs. I filed a police report. When I did, the police officer told me the facility is a dangerous place. So, no brother, no justice. I beg you to be careful where your lives one goes in Memphis- they are all terrible.
