    Joanna helped me more than I could ever have imagined. I had a very tough couple of years with my…read moremental health and Joanna gave me the tools and insight to get through anything life throws at me. We worked on childhood experiences that lead to negative ways that I felt about myself, why I made the choices that I did and gave me the ability to forgive and love myself. I really didn't like myself at all and now I can truly say that I love myself. It's amazing. It does take time and some hard work but it's so worth it. I am so grateful for all that Joanna gave me. And although I've "graduated" from therapy, I know I'll meet with Joanna again! I'm strong now but I'm incredibly self aware and I know that if life takes a curve Joanna will be there to help me continue to live my happy life!

    I've been seeing Joanna for a little over a year now. Although I had been dealing with depression…read moreand a bit of anxiety for a few years, I was hesitant to go to a therapist. I had a pretty negative experience with therapists in my teens and was not eager to try again. However, I felt at ease with Joanna almost immediately. She is warm, direct and very empathetic and non-judgmental. I feel safe to explore whatever is going on with me. She very skillfully guides me to deeper places within myself, and to my own inner strength and resources. It is now very rare for me to get depressed, and if I feel anxious I use one of the many tools I've gotten from Joanna, and it doesn't last long.

    I spent approximately 19 months at Turnbridge from September 2021 through May 2023. My family paid…read morea substantial amount of money because we believed I would receive safe, professional, trauma-informed treatment. My lived experience was profoundly different. I personally witnessed staff replay CCTV footage of serious client-on-client violence for groups of clients while laughing and mocking the person being attacked. After I was assaulted with a heavy wooden chair at 90 Ford Street, I remember staff later replaying the footage and mocking me for flinching. I also disclosed a sexual-boundary incident involving another client to people in the Turnbridge environment while a staff member was present. I do not recall receiving a formal interview, separation plan, or meaningful protection afterward, and the harassment continued. During an asthma attack, I asked a staff member for my prescribed inhaler and was initially refused because he claimed I was "faking it" and "getting high" from albuterol. My PlayStation 4 also disappeared from a Turnbridge residence, and I do not remember any meaningful investigation, report, recovery effort, or reimbursement process. My intake experience also raised serious concerns. During the drive to Turnbridge, I openly told friends that I believed I was entering a 28-day program. I remember signing contracts at 189 Orange Street before being told by the staff member who transported me that Turnbridge was actually a year-long program. These were not isolated personality conflicts. They raised recurring questions about supervision, medical access, sexual-safety complaints, informed consent, missing property, incident documentation, staff conduct, and how criticism was handled. I have since compiled a detailed evidence memo that distinguishes firsthand experiences from secondhand allegations and identifies records that should exist. Connecticut DPH has opened an investigation into care and services provided by Turnbridge. That investigation is ongoing and is not a final finding. Parents should ask for written answers about incident reports, CCTV access, medical protocols, client grievances, sexual-safety procedures, staff vetting, property-loss policies, expected program length, and what happens when a client says they feel unsafe or wants to leave. Recovery is necessary. Humiliation, indifference, and preventable risk are not treatment.

    The lack of professionalism and expertise was stunning. I worried that we had been just given a…read moresales pitch to get our child in the door, and in retrospect, that's clear that's all they could offer us. They showed no capacity to understand reactive attachment disorder and instead did the thing that we have seen all too often from inexperienced therapists: a lot of pussyfooting around and making endless excuses for the child's bad behaviors, while assuming the parents were really to blame and treating us as adversaries instead of partners. They refused to believe anything they didn't directly observe themselves even though the child was not at home, in a classroom, unsupervised, or asked much of anything, so if course they weren't going to see how he would show up in other contexts, but even when we shared evidence of a series of poor choices he made right under their noses, they still pretended as though it were nothing. They were entirely incapable of holding him accountable or providing proper supervision to keep him from feeding his technology addiction, and they minimized everything he did, from breaking their rules to harassing teenage girls. They showed their ignorance when they allowed their own hero complexes to get the better of them, genuinely believing that because he seemed charming and cooperative, it was because they were doing such a good job (or that he had no issues in the first place), when, in fact, that's a basic, textbook symptom of RAD -- and, incidentally, of sociopaths, who would take them right in and practice deceiving them as though they were the greenest therapists in suburbia. When they started actively interfering in family connectedness, we pushed back hard, and rightfully so: it's the worst thing to do to a child with RAD and is more likely to exacerbate the problem than anything else. They clearly had no real concern for him, despite their feigned care, since they took him off most of his meds, promising a new neuropsychology evaluation, but they couldn't be bothered to get that done even though he'd been there a month. They were disorganized from the start, and we had to keep pushing for them to even follow through on their most basic promises. When we came for a visit, they decided, just hours beforehand, to kick him out and send him home instead, a day before the scheduled neuropsych eval, probably because they didn't want to have to acknowledge his case as a total and utter failure on their parts. They provided no transition planning at all. They provided our kid nothing more than an expensive vacation. He learned nothing beneficial at all. Don't waste your effort or hope or your child's time at this place.

Stacey has a rare gift for connecting with youth meeting them where they are with patience, empathy, and genuine understanding. Stacey has a way of helping adults and youth open up while also equipping them with practical tools they can use in everyday life. It's clear that she truly cares, and her impact reaches far beyond the therapy room. What I admire most is how Stacey she not only supports the individual child but also communicates thoughtfully with families and schools, creating a well-rounded approach that leads to lasting growth. If you're seeking someone who is both highly skilled and deeply compassionate, Stacey is an exceptional clinician and a true asset to the youth she serves.

    I highly recommend Dana Zuskin's services if you are looking for an excellent counselor. She is…read morewarm, intuitive and knows how to get to the core of the issue in a limited number of sessions. When we lived in Fairfield, she helped my wife and I get to the root of our feelings before we married, and helped pave the way to us spending our lives together. We now each talk about how much clarity we have on the issue and can finally understand each other's position on it as well. Dana took the time to teach us how to effectively listen and empathize with each other during these times of conflict. She also helped us a great deal with suggestions for our young sons and other parental issues we struggled with. Dana is easy to schedule with and was even available in the evenings, which was necessary for us with our work schedules.
