Failure to follow HIPAA laws or even respond to requests to "Amend Personal Health Record" as required by federal law. Instead of helping and empowering you they lie, make-up things and do everything in their power to put you down. If you thought your traumatic experiences were bad, it will be worse if you come into contact with these people.
Under HIPAA you have the right to receive a copy of you Personal Health Record (PHR) and I did. OMG and OMG! What a joke! Do they just make things up as they go?
After seeing Mary Santateresa, MD a psychiatrist for 20 minutes (the record notes 30 minutes) she said I had PTSD and "bipolar disorder." I've never had a diagnosis of bipolar disorder--but they do this so they can try to cram medications down you to make $$$.
Dr. Santateresa went on and on about my "smoking" and that I should continue my smoking cessation "counseling," etc., etc. etc. OMG doctor--what a miracle worker!!! I stopped smoking after that brief session with you. I'VE NEVER SMOKED IN MY LIFE!!! Is this another scam to get $$$ from somewhere by misdiagnosing people who come to you for "help"?
Then the evaluation signed-off by Karen Chateauneuf, R.N. and the treatment plan with Cayla Cozzo. It said that they "reviewed the treatment plan" with me but the plan states where my signature should be (in almost a psychotic cursive) "Unable to Sign." You flat-out didn't review it with me because I was 1,000s of miles away. Liars!
Two of the "best practices" in Mental Health are Trauma-Informed Care and Strength-Based services. Their idea of "helping" people in need and in vulnerable positions is the equivalent of stepping on your hands as you dangle from a cliff.
They fail and refuse to follow best-practices, fail and refuse to follow the HIPAA rights of clients to amend records, fail and refuse to empower clients and fail and refuse to use facts in their reporting. They treat adults like children--very condescending.
If there was a ZERO rating, that's what they'd get from me. AVOID this program if at all possible. If not, exercise ALL OF YOUR RIGHTS when dealing with them.
