She remembers everything that you talked about in previous appointments and for me that is very reassuring to know that there is a strong relationship being built.

I highly recommend giving rebecca a try if you need a new psychiatrist or just need a place to start!!

I've been in all the levels of ED care as an adolescent at walden from December 2015 to June 2016…read more Overall, I found it helpful, but each level is very different. IP (Alcott): Very unstructured and boring. Although the purpose of inpatient care is to stabilize behaviors and medical state, it washelpful. Everything that could be the least bit dangerous is locked up (sharps etc), so we were allowed to be in our rooms alone. We didn't have to go to groups if we didn't want to. This lack of structure led to me using a lot of ED behaviors while I was there-- purging and exercising in my room. I also hid my food during meals a lot. I think that if it had been a more positive, supportive environment, I wouldn't have gotten so much worse in there. Mealtimes sucked. The food was so gross. The staff didn't meal coach like they do in lower levels, but there were a few times when they made fun of how we ate ("eating bananas with forks? Is that what you guys do?" "If you have a wrap you have to eat it like a wrap"). Such a negative environment... When I got there, I quickly realized that I was the only one eating 100% and stopped doing that because it was like this unspoken competition of who was the sickest. If you don't finish your food t the end of the meal they give you Ensure. Barely anyone drank it, and almost everyone was on NG tubes, a first resort rather than a last one. The only good thing I got out of it was a new prescription... 2 stars. Residential: VERY helpful! It's located in an apartment building near the hospital. All the MHCs are caring and supportive. Very structured schedule with 3 groups a day. During free time, we could watch movies, do arts/crafts (they had a lot of great supplies), play games, etc. I enjoyed my time there and made a lot of progress. The food there is so much better than that in Alcott, too. I'd give it 5 stars. Partial hospitalization program: this was the level I originally started at. There are two meals, a snack, and 3 groups. The staff were, for the most part, helpful. PHP is when FBT (family based treatment) really starts. The adolescent program had your parents monitor meals at home and bring your food to program. There were family breakfasts and parent groups a few times a week. On Tuesdays, we had as challenge snack to practice fear foods, and on Thursdays, we had a "practice lunch" with fear foods. Pretty boring, but it was a supportive environment and somewhat helpful. 3.5 stars. IOP: it works on transitioning back to normal life, going from the meal plan to more normalized eating. One snack and dinner. Good staff. It was helpful as a support to maintain progress while going back to my life. 4 stars. Overall, I'm very grateful for walden. The structure of FBT is such that there's no way out of it other than complying with the meal plan and restoring weight. At first, I hated this, but now I'm able to think clearly and I feel strong and healthy. Ive come a long way since December and am doing rlly well :) I DO have a problem with the fact that they have no idea how to treat bulimia or binge eating, or if they do, they don't act like it. Something that disappoints me is that in IOP, there were two girls with binge eating disorder who had come straight from admissions without having been in treatment before. They were clearly struggling a lot and the level of support was not enough. I guess that if you're not underweight and anorexic, you don't need a higher level of care.....?

Addendum.. I believe they are close to insurance fraud. At first I set up $50 month to pay my $900+…read morecopay. In March I sent in the full amount which they said was paid in full. However they kept taking $50 month. I made several calls. The man doing intake insurance had no idea who to speak with. I also had my insurance co Humana on the line.

They called me saying I was responsible for $15k which Humana said I wasn't it was due to lack of information on their part. I left a message they needed to contact my insurance company. They are horrific!

I provided her with a simple critique of a careless letter that she wrote for me at my request for my housing office. She then went to her supervisor Lisa Walker and claimed that I called her a horrid anti racial word, which is false, and I recorded each of my zoom meeting with her with my telephone's simple app Voice Recorder. For a social worker to do this to a mental health patient is profoundly abusive. First time since the 1990's when I began in mental health that anyone has done this. I told other medical clinicians and they were horrified.
