    I would give this place 0 stars if I could. I know it's a state run mental and rehabilitation…read morefacility, but it's worse than what you imagine. Let's start with arrival. You have to do the full naked inspection and wear a gown totally nude until someone can bring you clothes. You sleep on a stuffed tarp with a stained sheet with no pillow. The units are coed, but bunks and restrooms are separated by a common room. The place is unsanitary. They mop daily, but don't sweep, the floors are sticky, the chairs are uncomfortable, the showers are moldy, the phones are never cleaned, the rooms are filthy, and while I never saw any rodents I certainly heard them and saw evidence of them. The food was horrendous, cold turkey sandwiches on stale bread was a staple, and it never got much better. Now let's get to the staff. I saw 1 psychiatrist in the 11 days I was there for what was supposed to be a 5 day hold, we had a daily group session which was usually good, I ment my social worker a handful of times (she recommended my release days earlier) she was one of the few bright spots, the panel that was supposed to meet me to approve my release NEVER met with me, the nurses and cleaning staff were on their phones, I saw nurses just fill in previous numbers from blood pressure and heart rate rather than actually taking them, the group counselors were nice but a 1 hour once a day group session doesn't do much, and I saw staff antagonizing some of the more vulnerable patients. To kill time you had limited options. You could play cards with other patients, read the news paper, read out dated terrible books, color, or watch tv. I was lucky to have a group of 4 people to talk to and play cards with. The people ironically were the only thing that kept me sane there. When trying to get to the panel to start my exit plan I was told I was still restricted despite the 1 psychiatrist that I saw saying he recommended my release, and my social worker recommended my release, my family and wife calling and visiting and advocating for me. They keep you there because bodies on the unit mean money. The man who ultimately made the decision for me to leave told me he only did so because he was tired of my wife calling him. I have PTSD from this place. I grip the steering wheel tighter when driving past this place. I feel sorry for any person that ends up there especially those who were extremely vulnerable and in need to real help. Please if you have a relative, friend, or loved one in this facility do everything you can to help get them out.

    ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. We are now preparing to involve legal counsel and contact media outlets regarding…read morethe ongoing situation at Madden Mental Health Facility. My father is being held there against his will, in conditions that are frankly worse than a prison. Despite numerous phone calls and messages over the past week, both my father's explicit requests and our family's formal request to have him transferred have been ignored. Madden staff are refusing to release him, even though we have already arranged for a transfer to another facility that is ready and waiting to accept him. Let me be clear: it is not Madden's legal right to detain him once he has requested to leave and another facility is available. This is not only unethical--it may very well be unlawful. We have been informed that patient transfers supposedly cannot happen over the weekend. If he is not released by the end of today, we will be pursuing legal action for patient abuse and unlawful detainment in a state-run facility. Dr. Lince (Social Worker) and Dr. Sayied (Physician) are the individuals directly responsible for denying our father's request to leave, despite his repeated confirmation that he wishes to transfer and has authorized us to make those arrangements on his behalf. We are speaking out because this is not just about our family--this is about accountability. No one should have to fight this hard to protect their loved one's basic rights.

Thanks to Kathryn, I've truly fallen in love with Pilates. I have also taken her Myo-Yin and Yin Yoga classes...again, 12/10! The Astute studio itself is peaceful and welcoming, and I always enjoy relaxing with a cup of tea on the patio after class. I wholeheartedly recommend Kathryn's classes to anyone looking to improve their well-being and enjoy a supportive community.

    Update: After speaking with Rebecca regarding my experience with Amanda, it is very clear to me…read morethat she cares more about the reputation of her business over the treatment and care of her patients. My experience working with Amanda Ferrari was overwhelmingly negative. After several months of therapy, I left feeling significantly worse than when I started. The experience had such a profound negative impact on my mental health, that after ending therapy with Amanda, I sought care from another therapist to help me process and recover from what I experienced during "treatment". I try to exercise care when writing reviews such as this one, but this is the type of therapist that you should avoid at all cost. She has, what I believe to be, a deeply rooted bias against men.

    When I was looking for a therapist for my kiddo due to an urgent situation in our family, IFC was…read morerecommended by a therapist friend of mine, as well as by several parents in a local Facebook group. I needed a therapist with experience in ADHD, anxiety, trauma and divorce, and IFC was a great match. None of the other places I looked at specialize in children and families like IFC does. I was also so grateful that the intake team was able to get us in immediately, as so many other places had waitlists (especially Lurie's...OMG - the waitlist is literally years!!) The therapist we were matched with was such a great fit that I was willing to do whatever it took to make it work scheduling wise, and I am so glad I did. Your child's mental health is worth prioritizing and trust me, the parenting side of the support for you alone is worth moving your/your child's schedule around.
