Help me and supported me while I was bettering my life. My counselor was great there! N s some of the office people that run the programs, I love visiting her and always helping me succeed and with good advice

EDIT. They feel it's appropriate and professional to leave clients without medication. I have called multiple times in a week stating that I am out of medication only to be brushed off with "you aren't speaking with Marci until your appointment on the 7th"
Had an appointment with ucaria today originally set for 2:30 pm they changed it to 6:30 pm without asking me then the provider didn't even have the decency to follow through. I was stood up. So unprofessional

Great place for any social issue that a person can have.

I debated between three and four stars because I like my therapist and I believe that she is helping me.
It was easy to sign up with Catholic charities and the intake was quick and painless. But they don't have psychiatrists, and the people that prescribe medication are separate from the counseling. Although that didn't really bother me.
The only true negatives that I would give them is that I don't see my counselor once a week. The first and the second session were two weeks apart, and my next session is 3 weeks from now. That seems like a lot of time in between sessions.
But at least they're covered by my insurance and I'm able to do virtual.
I am wondering if these sessions will continue though because she said something about a follow up regarding the next session. I may update.
Update:
So I'm still seeing the same therapist and she is helping me. I like that I can do virtual. Sadly my therapist is resigning, so I'll be seeing someone new. I like them though. I would recommend them. So far, anyway.

Don't bother. Sent several emails trying to find out who could help us and eventually just asked for a contact for another organization since they were obviously busy... radio silence. But they were quick to add my email address to their marketing list and have the audacity to ask for donations.
