The program is highly individual, and may not be the best fit for everyone (as is true of all mental health programs), but was a very good fit for me. They support harm reduction and not abstinence-only treatments for substance use, and there are a lot of activities in the community. I was assertive about my care needs, and they respected my boundaries and independence.

Amber is wonderful. I have known Amber since 2011. We first met because we had similar jobs. Even…read morethough our jobs changed, I always felt I would stay connected with Amber. I reconnected with Amber a little over a year ago through her reiki practice. Since then I have been seeing her regularly and I love it. Amber is very knowledgeable and skilled as a therapist, reiki master, and energy healer. She has helped me tremendously and I look forward to continuing my work with her. She is passionate about what she does and she shares her knowledge willingly. Through my work with Amber, I have been able to practice better self-care with various methods. I am even planning to become reiki certified myself, so that I can deepen my practice and continue to learn.

I cannot say enough positive things about the services Amber provides. If you're looking for an…read morealternative way to reduce stress and anxiety, maintain balance and feel better both physically and mentally, I highly recommend making an appointment. My first experience with Amber was in a group setting with my family where we had our first experience with the "Angel messages" she receives and delivers. This took place in November of 2015 and I have been seeing her on a monthly basis since May of 2016 for reiki with guidance. Since then my overall quality of life has increased significantly. Depression is a thing of the past for me and I experience minimal anxiety compared to what I used to. She has encouraged me to eliminate any negative, excess baggage that has been dragging me down for years which has had an extremely positive impact on my life. I leave every session feeling fully recharged and focused. None of the other experiences I have had with therapy have been this profound or helpful. So lucky I found her!

At one point I was living in Plymouth but I would still drive to Cambridge to have a visit or two with her. I have always found Kyle to be very insightful and sincerely very caring, always leaving me with the feeling that I am glad she is my therapist and have made that connection with her. I have even gone for long gaps of not seeing her, sometimes as long as 10 years and the amazing thing is, when we've gotten together again, its like I saw her yesterday and I am always amazed at the things that she remembers, even the small things. I had an instance a few years ago where I had to get some help for a relative and a call to Kyle was the first one I made and she gave me the names of people to get in touch with to get my relative the help they needed. I can't say enough good things about her.

I've seen quite a few doctors here (psychiatrist, psychotherapist, clinical psychologist) and PCA…read moreis a wonderful facility. Their offices in Arlington are a bit of a trek for those using public transportation, but the quality of care is excellent. Some clinicians even offer nighttime appointments which help for those trying to come after work. The only con is that the offices are a bit dated and I hate calling in to an automated telephone system. They take care of all billing and are very responsive. I originally became a patient as my PCP had difficulty understanding the drug interactions of some medications. I wanted to coordinate my care so that one doc could manage my medications and therapy in one visit. Unfortunately, therapy and med management are separate visits. However, it was nice to finally have both docs under the same roof! Plus, the docs I saw weren't not only knowledgeable, but they were also kind and accommodating. Dr. Orleck (psychotherapy) is has a peaceful demeanor, and is caring and compassionate. She offers real-world advice that helps inspire and reassure you at the same time. Dr. Onofrei provides ADHD assessments via questionnaire and office visits. There were a total of 3 visits, lasting about 1hr each. Without his assessment their doctors cannot prescribe ADDHD meds. Dr. O is another kind soul who you instantly feel comfortable with. He offers 8pm appointments for those who work late. Dr. Simkowitz is very knowledgeable about drug interactions, has flexible scheduling (i.e. Early AM), and responds instantly to any email questions you may have. I felt reassured having him manage all my medications. If you're in Cambridge/Arlington area, then I'd def recommend checking out PCA.

If we can't get scheduling under control I'm not super confident in the output of putting my mental health in the hands of Psychological Care Associates. I filled out the form at the suggestion of my OBGYN, who recommended I talk with someone about a few post-partum issues that I had been having. The form was comprehensive and I was thrilled to get a call later that day! ...to my dismay, the admin who called me (who was very polite and who I enjoyed speaking with) was apologetic about not being able to work around my schedule. The rub is that they could not commit to a consistent time/day of the week for my appointments! I told them I could be flexible and available any time on Fridays or Tuesdays. When she called me back (after confirming with the director), she confirmed that they would not be able to give me consistent days/times, and couldn't even be sure they'd be able to give me enough advanced notice to make sure I could clear my work schedule! (And for what it's worth, I have a flexible work schedule with generous work from home time, and even then that was not enough.) For a practice that touts its' ability to help new mothers or working parents, this practice has shown shockingly little interest in being scheduling-friendly. On my second call, the admin was asked to refer me to their sister practice in *Lexington* - as Lexington had more availability - even though I live in Stoneham and work in Kendall Square in Cambridge and am already struggling with scheduling this appointment with any sort of week-to-week consistency, let alone tacking a 30-m drive on top of it. At the end of the call they were so unable to help me that I left with more anxiety than I started with, and I decided to look elsewhere for assistance.

That's it that's when it started going down hill I mean down hill they lie to us calling in prescriptions go to pick it up at drug store and there be a prescription missing come to find out the doctor that wrote out the prescriptions wasn't authorized to fill out certain ones, but there was no other doctors around eventually you'll get it but like a week later They were tricky like that The facility I was at before for about five years. I never had a problem. Matter fact they used to call me the king because I always clean urine it was one doctor at column had a dr real bad attitude I mean bad believe me it was Dr. Ortiz these places you wanna behave because you don't wanna get thrown out you want everything going easy all of a sudden coming up bad urine which is not true after about six months of being accused of a urine that they found out they were wrong meanwhile seeing someone different every other month, it will always be short on stuff unhealthy and it's not a good place for new patients he would never get sober eventually they push my buttons enough where I retaliated back I am human doctor Ortiz is a punk so eventually I got thrown out I guess there a first time for everything I come to finding out that was the best thing that happened to me getting thrown out because now I'm at a place. It's not a problem. It's great. It's a primary care doctor. She makes you feel so comfortable. It's unbelievable where I'm at now.. i wouldn't recommend anyone to go to column health especially if you knew cause you're not gonna get sober with that kind of overhead there are some good people there at column I pray that column health gets their act together so people can get sober without a problem they shouldn't be open till they straighten out

I probably would have…read morekept going for forever, but Daphne was honest enough to tell me that she thought I had reached the full benefit of the rolfing series. (However, she did invite me back for tune-ups in the future, whenever I feel like I need them!). Overall, my body feels much more elongated and looser. I actually gained an inch or two in height, and even my mom would be proud of my posture now. My core is straighter and clothes fit better. My shoulders are even, and my right shoulder (chronic bursitis from playing competitive tennis) feels so much better than it used to. I honestly haven't had any issues with my shoulder, IT band, or headaches for awhile, and I'm attributing it to Daphne's mad skills. I just feel... healthy. I highly recommend rolfing and Daphne to just about everyone. After a few sessions, you will feel great!

This review is based on my one experience for accupuncture only…read more So I had my my first experience with accupuncture yesterday! I had never done it before so have nothing to compare it to but think I can be objective about the service at Cambridge Health which was very good. My accunpuncturist (Marilyn) was friendly and thorough in her questions prior to beginning. Marilyn clearly believes in the medicine of accupuncture and helping people which got through some of my cynicism. She made me feel really comfortable and made sure I didn't have any questions or qualms before starting. I actually don't have any physical issues (knock on the old wood) aside from weak ankles from sports but it turns out that it's best to have accupuncture before you have problems as a preventive health measure. The needles did not hurt (a few stung for a second) and I could actually feel stirrings in my ankles from the needles in my scalp! The appointment lasted about 90 minutes but flew by. I am still not 100% sure about the powers of accupuncture but afterwards I had a feeling of euphoria akin to Peter in Office Space after hypnosis! I also had football practice that night and my previously sore left ankle felt pretty good. I know, it could all be in my head, but I really enjoyed the experience and made a second appointment. They are running a special right now- 50% off your first two treatments if you call before 9/15 so give it a try!
