I have had the pleasure of being a patient of Dr. Schwartz's for a few years. The time I have spent…read morewith her is invaluable to me. Dr. Schwartz is a very warm, caring, insightful person, who has helped me overcome a lot of my personal issues. This has greatly improved my happiness, and quality of life! She has the ability to get right to the heart of an issue, but does so in a kind, gentle way. Dr.Schwartz was able to make me feel safe, and comfortable enough to deal with some deeply personal issues. Sometimes we laugh, sometimes I cry, but I always leave her office feeling so much better than when I came in. Your visits can be tailored to your specific needs. You can go weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. If you have completed your therapy, you can come in for a "tune up" if you need it. I, myself, had gone through a period of therapy, had stopped going, and then found myself back a year or so later, to deal with some things that had come up in my life. I highly recommend Dr. Schwartz if you are looking for someone who can help you deal with life's difficulties, with warmth, caring and humor. If you feel you are ready to work with someone to deal with your own personal issues, I think you should call Dr Schwartz, and make an appointment. I am so glad I chose to come to her, and will always be thankful to her for helping me to lead a much happier life!

I had never gone to therapy prior to seeing Dr. Schwartz and she made the process so easy and…read morecomfortable. I randomly found her online and I truly lucked out by getting the best of the best the first try. She is so smart, compassionate, caring and helpful. I cannot say enough good things about her amazing, natural ability to help people. When I met with her, she never minimized my problems. She really had an ability to remember things I had told her in the past and that really showed her passion for her job and helping people, rather than me just being another patient. She is an amazing therapist and has helped me more than she'll ever know.

Extremely unprofessional. I say this with full sincerity: please, please do not use this provider…read more There is nothing worse than being diagnosed by someone who will eventually make your problems worse and blame you for it. They act like a mental illness they diagnosed you with isn't capable of affecting your day-to-day life. Was told that being double-charged was my fault because I set my appointments last-minute, was accused of lying and "always making excuses" when I said I haven't had any income for 1.5 months, that staff would tell my psychiatrist Linda that she should drop me because I often have trouble affording/scheduling appointments. But like they would say "you should check next time because I think she's looking into your insurance provider." Unlike Linda, I don't make $150 for a 15-minute phone call. I admit that I am late and bad at making appointments, which is because they stopped setting them up after I missed ONE. Now it has snowballed into this, my account being drained of my first paycheck at a new job once they double charged me, but according to MVC/Linda it's still my fault. Maybe they made my problems worse to get rid of me.

Minimizes potentially very dangerous situations and becomes defensive when asked what are the patient's realistic options. Does not take SI seriously even when given examples of how it would be done. Very unprofessional, frustrating experience. She will not change daily medication even though it hasn't worked effectively for many years and symptoms have greatly changed and intensified. We very much miss the previous psychiatrist (an actual medical doctor) who clearly understood and cared for her patients. Finding better credentialed, responsive and professional providers would help this practice immensely.

They left me hang for an entire week without meds only to find out on a Friday before a holiday , that my Dr isn't comfortable prescribing the same meds I've been taking for years. They told me that I have to start over with a new Dr that they will assign sometime after the holiday. You should find another provider, this place is a mess that you can definitely live without.

Did Telehealth autism evaluation for my 4 year old because we didn't want to wait any longer. I…read morecan't complain at all. it was extensive, they asked great questions, and used the following to evaluate: Childhood Autism Rating Scale, Second Edition (CARS2) Developmental Profile, Fourth Edition (DP-4) Monteiro Interview Guidelines for Diagnosing the Autism Spectrum, Second Edition (MIGDAS-2) Parent/Caregiver Rating Form(s) Behavior Assessment System for Children, Fourth Edition (BASC-4) Social Responsiveness Scale, Second Edition (SRS-2) Shereese Moye, M.A. was our psychometrist, and she did an amazing job. She was patient and kind. Talked to my child and seemed to naturally enjoy the work that she does. I received our results within 72 hours of the evaluation. Only negative comment is only 1 of the reps I worked with was attitudinal, but she did what was asked of her and sent me on my way, so I can't complain. Everyone else I worked with was kind and professional. If you're looking for a faster evaluation instead of waiting 12 months for your child's autism evaluation, I recommend this place.

I'd like to add an update. This is still a one star review. They gave several weeks later a…read more"findings report" after everything. They stated residential for my child. Like how does one just pop a kid into that if they don't meet criteria? It really seemed they had mixed my child up with someone else's child. This service that is based on and prides itself on documenting? Really? They sighted he tried to poison us. That never happened. What a damaging and outrageous claim. He did plenty of real stuff no need to lie or exaggerate anything. You are trying to get help for behavior issues right? They stated he was tardy and absent from school and never was. I signed releases school said they never contacted them. Barely has missed a day. I got a print out of his attendance. They stated he was ODD and demanded other diagnoses from doctors. After signing releases for them to speak w his doctors. He has other stuff lol. They can't handle anything other than just the autism. Letting me know how they have to stay in their lane. Five months later? Be aware. They are seeking four year old kids to play with. I doubt any results from them would happen. They do-not help w bathroom other than an alarm to remind the child. We did that, that's silly. No real help. I thought they were going to help us? They admitted they made zero progress in five months. There was so much wrong with the report I made a bullet point complaint wanting it corrected. They sent a letter back they were investigating it internally for all my many issues I had with it and how the case was handled as a whole. They did nothing to fix anything and the payment plan they had us on resulted in over four grand in balance to be paid after insurance didn't cover it. My insurance is now looking into it and may become a litigation situation. Again anyone reading this. If you have an older child with any pda they will not do well by your family. This was pure nightmare fuel and made everything so much worse. The fact they did zero referrals lied they spoke to his psychiatrist and many other very concerning falsehoods they are simply not a legitimate company. A young inexperienced girl came in so self assured stating "well your way isn't working how bout we try our way?" lol I was thinking to myself ya sure ok good luck with that. I tried everything. I was interested to see how they could help. They didn't at all. They never did open the center location wise. That should have offered respite on weekends. Would have been one positive. We had them in our home 20 plus hours per week five days per week for over five months. Not a "didn't really give it a chance" situation, but during that time countless managers and training of therapists on your child's time. Like how are they billing when a portion of the time is them training their new staff on your time? Kid you not four cars in our driveway with Superviser upper supervision cus supervisors aren't trained then your kids therapist plus some on looking training person while they train your person. It went on the whole time cus they had a revolving door. We got a silly bin of items of junk finally like months and months in we were supposed to get but didn't prior that they didn't come back for. Their little enrichment kit or whatever (a puzzle, legos, slime). lol like I'm at the point I can laugh but man. Ridiculous I do not have a good feeling or opinion of Aba now. Not sure it's based on normal Aba cus this was like patty cake with a nine year old and no real treatment plan admittedly till the last four to six weeks of the circus. There are tons of other Aba companies look at them and reviews I regret choosing them I really want others to not have this experience. I felt sorry for the therapists trying to work for them. Like nice people with no training or experience and don't know what they are doing or how to help you or anything about anything basically. Management throwing them in unprepared and without an actual plan to go by. They reluctantly admitted there was no case plan in place cus someone dropped the ball somewhere and I honestly think notes or documentation was all mixed about. Like paying out the nose for a mother's helper with a kid next door person hoping something therapeutic was going to happen at some point ever. Sad. We have no services in place now and waitlists for months working with 211 sucks too but that's free folks you can get Aba through them too. I would still not go back to Aba centers of America. No matter how desperate. Please be advised. I tried my best to warn you. Also take a gander at how many times I left one star reviews in my entire life. Not much. Good luck.
