What recent reviews say

Half of reviewers praise the staff as kind and caring in a welcoming space. The other half report serious frustrations: unmet expectations around child advocacy, missed documentation, and difficulty reaching the center by phone.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Recent shift: older five-star reviews (5-7 years ago) contrast with more recent one-star reviews (2 years ago and recent), suggesting a possible decline in reliability or follow-through

Therapists here earn strong loyalty from families and foster parents who praise their thorough work and availability for crises. Administrative and billing sides are inconsistent: some report helpful intake, others hit insurance problems, double copays, and ignored callbacks that suggest priorities lean toward payment over patient resolution.
