If you want your life to get worse then come here, but they will charge you several ten thousand dollars first.. If you have dual diagnosis (mental illness alongside substance use disorder) STRONGLY I am recommending you go elsewhere as everyone I have known with addiction issues who has come here has ended up worse after attending. Some dual-diagnosis patients have ended up homeless or back into much more intensive treatment from wild acre, since wild acre arguably set them back milestones in their treatment. In my opinion, rules are inconsistent here and draconian treatment is enforced that does not take into consideration patients desires. Some patients had good experiences, but I know of none with dual diagnosis that did not end up way worse than before attending.

I would like to report on a brief interaction I had with Lisa Wolfe. I phoned her in 2013 and asked…read moreher if she had room on her schedule and she said she did not. At the time, I had made over 100 phone calls looking for therapists. However, she phoned me back and said she knew of someone and referred me to another therapist. She spoke highly of him, saying she refers her clients to him all the time. I went to him and he didn't just have room on his schedule...he didn't seem to have any other clients, or not very many. This was a red flag, among other red flags including his repeatedly calling me "Honey." He seemed completely incompetent to treat what was bothering me (eating disorder) and I wondered why Ms Wolfe had heaped so much praise on him, except perhaps they may have been pals of sorts. During my third session with this man, he asked me out on a date. I was terrified! I left the office, not knowing what to do! I also felt devastated that such a thing would happen to me. Of course, I did not accept the date. Who was this man? I waited two days, then, phoned him and told him I didn't want to see him anymore. His last words to me were, "I love you." I was shocked and in a few other ways, saddened. I knew in my heart I needed to report him. But where? I phoned back Ms Wolfe. I felt that she should know that this other therapist that she had referred me to was not only unethical, but he had broken the law in a really, really bad way. Her response? Sadly, very typical. She first said, "Maybe you weren't a good match." I continued to tell Ms. Wolfe that what he had done was illegal. Then she said, rather lamely, "You just weren't ready for his energy therapy." I believe Ms. Wolfe should have encouraged me to go to the police. She should have supported me and at least been as shocked as I was. Instead, she defended what was completely illegal behavior on the part of a colleague. I am saddened that therapists refuse to acknowledge the mistakes and misdeeds of other therapists, and instead, they blame the victim. This runs rampant in the profession; it's disgusting, and it needs to change. Based on this, I would not recommend her to anyone.

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.

Well, I just finished my 10(ish) series with Daphne, and I already miss her! 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!

I couldn't move or open my eyes, I went on some weird trip. I felt so far away and literally thought I was dying! After the infusion she was annoyed, telling me my reaction was not normal as I'm still totally drugged and panicking. You are supposed to monitor vitals and she did not during or after the infusion. They are supposed to give you 2 hours afterwards to sit and heal and get your bearings, but she was hustling people out as soon as the infusion ended. I was given 5 minutes. The infusion lasted 40 minutes and she knew that my reaction was an overdose, admitted it was bad and not normal, but didn't stop the infusion!! She let it run for the full 40 minutes! She couldn't charge me for all the medicine if I didn't use it, so even though she knew exactly what was going on, she knew I wouldn't die, so she decided to let me suffer to collect her money. They made us prepay and will not refund us the $997 we paid for the first visit. This woman has no background in mental health, shes an anesthesiologist who decided to cash in on the ketamine train.

For at least 10 years, I've suffered the physical effects of daytime and nighttime jaw clenching. For several years, I've been experiencing regular 24 hour/day migraines for several days at a time. My headaches, neck and shoulder pain were interfering with my ability to sleep for more than a few hours each night. After the first therapy session, my pain level went from a 10 down to a 2 (on a scale in 1-10). During the 3 weeks following that session, I experienced 2 headaches that each lasted for part of a day and were treatable with ibuprofen. My jaw felt relaxed in a way that I hadn't felt in more than 10 years - the pain, pressure and tension were relieved. My sleep started to improve after 5 years of poor sleep, as I could suddenly fall asleep again after most wakings. A few weeks later, I returned for another session. I can't rate my pain now because the pain is gone. I haven't had a headache or even felt the suggestion of an oncoming headache. I feel occasional tightness in my neck. No headaches. My jaw continues to feel relaxed. I continue to sleep well and I can't believe I'm writing that! Steve's craniosacral therapy work treats the whole person. His work is intuitive and expert. He cares so greatly that I feel healed and that his work long-lasting. Two sessions with Steve have changed the quality of my life.
