Third Way Center - Lincoln Street Patient Reviews
Unprofessional and Unethical
Being a therapist myself, I was very involved with the treatment of my teen when she went to Third Way. To say I was horrified at how the whole experience unfolded would be putting it mild. When I supported what my kid wanted to do (ie continue her antidepressant and NOT go on Ritalin and Risperdal), Staff began to prevent our phone calls and visits. I wasn’t allowed to visit with my kid in privacy, staff was emotionally abusive to her and during the “group therapy” they ‘weaponized’ the other kids to bully her for not taking the medications they said would “cure” her PTSD. Staff violated HIPPA laws numerous times. If you value what is left of the relationship with your child, don’t send them here.
