Unsatisfactory Experience
The first reviewer, Gabriel Katz M.D., gave a 1-star rating and shared a negative experience with the clinic. He felt that the clinic takes advantage of families in distress and treats adults like children. Specifically, he mentioned that the clinic director, Bettina Thompsen, abuses her powers and was physically abused during his stay.
Positive Experiences
The next two reviewers, Eve Osipov and M. Osipov, both gave 5-star ratings and had very positive experiences with the clinic. Eve praised the clinic's training programs for clinicians in CBT and DBT, calling it a "one stop shop" for mental, behavioral, and social issues. M. Osipov echoed similar sentiments, thanking the clinic for its professional and friendly staff, as well as its quick response time.
