I wholeheartedly agree with the other poster…read more Rita is an abysmal therapist, and I say this with the experience of good, great, and mediocre therapy sessions. She's the worst I've seen, and also the most expensive. She actually caused active and growing harm in my own addiction recovery and marriage. As you might imagine, the harm in one of those areas fed the harm in the other. Worse, when I pointed this out, she threatened me with more harm and also took glee in the harm she contributed to. So not only does she not provide benefit, she actively harms and when confronted with that, she adds to the harm. In short, she's in the wrong business. She also didn't know many simple facts about alcohol or alcoholism. Specifically, she didn't know how long alcohol metabolites can remain in your urine. That's a simple fact that someone with the claimed specialty should know about. She didn't know about modern, well documented alternatives to AA that have been around for over 20 years. Once again, she's nowhere near an expert on this facet of addiction, although she claims to be. She doesn't listen or retain information that you provide her, even after 5 or so repetitions. So you can get a "diagnosis" based on flawed information because she doesn't listen to any aspects of your situation that make you unique. She has a "one size fits all" diagnosis and recommendation for every issue. Like the other poster said, it's "go to Choices" no matter what. Alcohol, marriage issues, indigestion, stubbed toe, "go to Choices." I went, and Choices was a horrible waste of time and money and I could see how it could cause active damage to vulnerable individuals. On top of all that, she's unprofessional. She constantly arrives late, even up to missing 25% of the session you agreed upon and paid for. She then offers passive aggressive excuses for her lateness. This is habitual. And considering how expensive it is, she should offer a refund or pro rated bill but she doesn't. Which would be fine, but she's ruining lives. When a therapist should help someone fix their life. Steer clear, steer clear, steer clear. Luckily, there are many local alternatives that can and will help you. I can't give a more forceful recommendation to the loved ones and supporters of those with issues: stay away. There's a distinct chance that Rita will add to exacerbation of the problem(s) at hand. Luckily, luckily, luckily, there are local alternatives that can provide the help that you or your loved one might need. Please find them.

My experience with Oluremi Adedapo was disappointing. Her tone and attitude felt off from the…read morestart. She asked several personal questions that didn't seem medically relevant, and when I calmly asked what the purpose of the question was, she became defensive and raised her voice. For a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I think it's important to communicate explanations clearly and professionally, without facial expressions or tone that come across as condescending or judgmental. During the questionnaire, her facial reactions were uncomfortable to see. Her eyes widened, and her expression showed clear judgment when I responded to a few of her questions. I hadn't even requested to see her. The call center told me I needed to see an NP or MD before meeting with the PA I originally asked for, so I agreed to be scheduled with whoever was available first. That happened to be Oluremi. At the end of the appointment, she recommended certain medications. When I mentioned that I thought this was only a screening visit before seeing the provider I requested, she questioned why I wanted to see someone else and told me she could do the same job . Never in a million years I thought I would hear that type of response from a medical professional! That response felt unnecessary. Overall, I left the appointment feeling uncomfortable and unheard. I hope someone at Bloom Health Centers contacts her to encourage her to work on her communication style and professionalism in the future.

I cannot say whether or not to recommend Dr. Mwangi, however I will explain my experience and that…read moremay or may not be something you're looking for. I had appointments with Dr. Mwangi every month or so to work on medication management. I was prescribed a very high dosage of medication by Dr. Mwangi for my mental health issues and unbeknownst to me at the time, the high dosage led to terrible side effects that occurred throughout the year. I ended up in the hospital at one point and that is when I stopped seeing Dr. Mwangi. My current therapist has told me that they don't personally think it was right that I was prescribed such a high dosage of medication before, at least not without constant check-ins.
