I was verbally, emotionally, and physically altercations of abuse. I was bullied, targeted singled out my privacy was violated my daughter was exposed to these unprofessional and rude behaviors. Passive aggressive attitudes, my medical needs deprived. The "care" they provided was traumatic. Ms. Brenda, Ms cj, ms.leeann, another woman I cannot recall her name. But Ms Brenda was the most abusive staff member of all. She made my private information public crap talking to staff loud enough for other clients to hear. She raised her voice and slammed and threw things in the presence of my 1 year old and I. My daughter was napping while I was in the shower as she thrusted aggressively a pushing cart into my room that loudly slammed into my kitchen table in front of my bedroom door where my daughter was sleeping. She unplugged my alarm clock multiple times without my permission. She ripped a sign I put on my front door. Another staff denied me my meds so I had to call 911 to get a ambulance to take me to hospital for my daily medication but in the middle of my phone call Ms Brenda hung up the call and persisted to try unplugging the phone but was stopped by another staff in time for me to call for medical help again. She has over 50 grievances on her in the 3months of her employment I'm one of the many others she bullied. She denied another client the right to call 911 even though the clients baby was sick and barely breathing and later was put on a ventilator at the hospital that night. I have more to tell but I'll stop here as this is quite long enough. Best wishes to everyone seeking the help they can feel safe and listened to and treated with respect and dignity.

I gave my CC# to my Therapist at to the Billing Lady and both agreed to run my card monthly for whatever I owed, and I was ok with that. I have no problem paying my bills. Once Western became Lifestance something happened and this was no longer happening, and I also was switched to getting electronic statements and had no idea that I owed money, and wasn't aware that my card wasn't being ran. I finally found out I owed $300, and agreed to pay $50 a month which the billing office said was ok. I paid for a couple months and then just paid off the balance December 6th. January 21st I get a notice that my account is in collections. Huh? How can a fully paid off account be in collections?? I have the receipts from Western and my Bank to show I paid the balance in full. It seems that there is a lot of communication break down at this place. This doesn't surprise me at all. I worked here a few years ago, and it was horrible. Western is more about making profits that helping people. The Therapist and Psychologists are great, but the old owners Darryl Quick and his wife Sylwia are all just wanting to make money, they don't care about the helping people- anyone who's ever worked there knows this. Anyway, back to my issue... I plan on making a complain with BBB because this is nonsense, I also never got any sort of letter or calls, about this either. I plan of fighting this.

As a previous employee, I most appreciate that all staff at the clinic participate in a weekly…read moreconsultation meeting where cases are discussed in a supportive and dialectical manner. All staff get training in DBT and get individual supervision as well. When a clinician would benefit from training in any area other staff will provide this feedback and appropriate support. Everyone shares the responsibility to ensure that each client gets the best care and that's quite unique. I obviously cannot speak to what happens in sessions as I've only experienced staff as coworkers and/ or management, however, I have come to appreciate the humor and warmth of the staff. I think that the clinic has quite a diverse group of therapists, each with their own strengths and style and if you are looking for DBT, I think you might find a good fit here.

He never set any goals with me, or created a treatment plan, and our sessions have been unstructured and amorphous. I don't think he is a bad guy; but I think he is getting too old to practice and should retire. One thing is for sure, I won't be paying any more money for sessions that are a waste of time and energy.

Laurence Eckman came into my life at a time when I needed his perspective and approach to patient…read morecare more than words could ever portray. He helped me pivot in such a way that I was able to finish naturopathic medical school despite many nearly insurmountable, disability obstacles. As a naturopathic student, I gave it my all to do things naturally and made huge, necessary strides, but it wasn't until Laurence planted the seed that medication is natural for the biochemistry of the ADHD brain, that my life started to change. He reassured me that there is no shame in taking medication in the pursuit of an equal chance at accomplishing my dream of gaining knowledge and sharing it with others. In a sentence: Laurence gets it. My grades immediately improved, quite drastically. Not only was I able to advocate for myself and others to receive academic accommodations; but I was also finally able to integrate medical knowledge and apply it in the structured, linear format of school and work. All without losing my creativity and outside the box thinking, per our therapy sessions together. The capacity I held for managing my daily activities and work-life balance also benefited from the increase in executive function, especially since I was able to start living the naturopathic philosophy and see real healing for the first time. In addition, the newfound engagement with my skills in the clinic re-inspired my motivation to keep fighting the good fight at medical school, paving the way for a more accepting future in education as well as medicine. 10/10 recommend the support of Laurence on your journey towards acceptance and healing while accomplishing your dreams. I will carry many of his words of wisdom and life hacks with me onward as both a patient and a doctor. Laurence always went above and beyond to ensure my continuity of care, was reliable, efficient, understanding, empathetic, honest, and always willing to go to bat for us [patients]! This kind of integrity is rare these days. Laurence, I truly hope our paths cross again one day! Cheers, Lianne Aglietti, ND.

My phone rang at 7:00pm and I was surprised to hear from him this evening after leaving a voicemail only a day ago. We were on the phone for 45 minutes, and in that time he asked me all about myself, my struggles with adhd symptoms, my past, and about his philosophy in therapy and medication..what type of approach he has for treatments. He listened carefully and intently to everything I said & he had such great and helpful things to say. He's not open for new patients, but he's looking for me and gave me a bunch of recommendations for amazing helpful books and websites. I have my bs in social sciences and I know how much that costs...and I used to work for doctors and I know how much their time costs...it's all very expensive, so for him to call me and generously gift me 45 minutes of his time & knowledge is just so invaluable I couldn't say thank you enough. If anyone reading this struggles with mental health issues like I do, you know why this is so important & why I am taking the time to write this. It can feel so hard to find good care, but what I experienced today in just less than an hour proves that there are great providers out there who love what they do & exist in this profession to truly help people.

Without a doubt, committing to a 20 session Neurofeedback program at The Path Center was one of…read morethe best decisions I have ever made. I chose Neurofeedback to help myself move beyond a background of abuse, and to address two serious brain injuries from my youth. Early into the program I began to notice an overall more positive attitude emerging, as well a notable increase in my resilience to stress. Every session felt like it was building on the last, and throughout the 10 weeks, even though negative patterns sporadically surfaced, I continued to realize steady improvement in daily life. Gail Hardman-Woung, the clinic founder and director, and her amazing staff are professional, heart-centered, skilled, and conscientious. They maintain a clinic environment that is attractive and welcoming for their clientele. The Neurofeedback "LENS" sessions with Gail were especially enjoyable. Her knowledge and expertise was ever-reassuring. I appreciated that she took the time to show and explain the "brain-mapping" graph on the computer during our sessions so I could observe the healing progress in brain patterns each time. Upon completion of the program, I left feeling significantly more confident, clear, and grounded in myself, ready for a new direction and journey ahead. I am deeply grateful for the healing I received, and am pleased to highly recommend The Path Clinic and all they have to offer.
