Everyone was extremely unprofessional. The receptionist were unfriendly, gave us judging looks. The Psychiatrist, Monica doesn’t give my mom good service AT ALL. She invalidated my moms feelings and decided to stop prescribing my mom a medication that she NEEDS. without good reason. I do NOT recommend this place at all.

I went to Catholic Charities never received any response after my intake. Everytime I call no answer and the mail box is full. Poor communication

People really want to help. I get monthly psychiatric consult in person, and weekly telephone talk therapy. No charge.
