Savio House

This was arguably the most incompetent team of mental health "professionals" our family has ever worked with.

You go to these places for help. What a joke. Don’t bother just put your kids in more activities and because this place will only steer you in the wrong direction and then take no accountability. Go somewhere else for services.

My experience with Savio House was nothing but good. They helped me immensely on the tough road of sobriety and 4 years later, I'm still sober and have full custody of my son.

As a former employee, I do not recommend Savio’s services or employment to anyone. Horrifically unprofessional and not therapeutic.

My family and I have worked with Savio off and on for a while. We had great experiences with Most of our therapists except for our last therapist unfortunately... When you struggle with substance abuse or have a track record from the department, be prepared to be judged right off the bat. This therapist that we had the LAST time was HORRIBLE. She was a former CPS caseworker and it showed.

One time, I was tired from working three 12 hour shifts back to back. I honestly didn’t want to participate that day because I was tired to the max. **I was tired, not intoxicated** The therapist abruptly stood up and said “I can’t continue to work with you, when you’re not sober” and left. mind you: (this was family therapy, not individual therapy.) At any point did she ask me: “Are you ok?”, “you seem tired” “would you like to talk outside” or, “I will call you later to check up on you.” No, She wrongfully accused me of being under the influence when I in fact was not. She didn’t even continue the session with my children. Or, try to call me the following day to explain why she did what she did. Not OK.

Furthermore, I have never dealt with a therapist pointing their finger at me, and blatantly accusing me of something without asking. Therapists are supposed to be rational, understanding, empathetic, etc. Not, Judgmental and rude.. It was very hurtful and degrading. She handled herself very unprofessionally. She should stick to being a CPS caseworker since she likes to judge, Jump to conclusions without open communication, and point fingers without facts.

Those actions, cause more trauma and hardship on families and individuals. Real therapists should know that. That’s exactly what happened; More trauma and hardship because of her jumping to conclusions, and lack of communication and understanding.
