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.

CHANGED OUR FAMILY!…read more We've been with Willis consulting for over 8 years through two of our family members. From day one, they ensured that we found a therapist that "fit us". We were allowed to make a couple of fit changes for one of our minors. Once we found the "right" counselor, it bloomed. Now that child considers their therapist their friend and openly shares their thankfulness. As a result of WCC.... our children have found better self-expression, self-confidence and are both significantly more confident in who they are. We cannot put into words our level of gratitude. All I know is that I was very concerned before we started and now I smile in confidence. Thank you.

I agree with Nicolette. I recently had an appointment with Sarah Schwarting and found the…read moreexperience EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING. She appeared unprepared and unqualified, provided no constructive input, and offered no guidance when I asked for help with motivation--she literally said, "I don't know." Very awkward, and I did not know what to say, and we stood in a whole 2 minutes of silence! The session lacked any meaningful therapeutic conversation. Most of the questions she asked were irrelevant to my concerns (including whether my roommate had a girlfriend), and she offered no strategies, feedback, or support. Her nonverbal behavior also felt awkward and at times condescending. I would not recommend seeing this therapist, as the session felt unproductive and a waste of time.

She is incredibly attentive, gifted, and makes sure you are comfortable. Located in beautiful, southwest Chicago suburban neighborhood. Upon opening the treatment room door, I was met with a supportive atmosphere lit by a candle in a sconce, sounds of relaxing music, and the beautiful Spirits of Tara's sacred bowls. She asked if I was having any pain at the beginning of the session; I felt some in my neck and lower back. During the session, I experienced the white Crystal Bowls, and Brass Metal Bowls carrying the Spirits of the energy that Tara channels through these magical instruments. She placed the bowls around me as well as directly on my body as she played and brought forth their beautiful, transformative sounds. This interaction with my field felt so nurturing and relaxing; I realized at one point that my earlier pain was gone. The aromatherapy at the end was a delightful surprise. This session exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be returning and referring.
