What recent reviews say

Therapists here earn strong loyalty from families and foster parents who praise their thorough work and availability for crises. Administrative and billing sides are inconsistent: some report helpful intake, others hit insurance problems, double copays, and ignored callbacks that suggest priorities lean toward payment over patient resolution.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Praised for
  • compassionate therapists
  • responsive to emergencies
  • serves foster families well
  • thorough assessments
Watch-outs
  • insurance billing chaos
  • unresponsive administration
  • poor scheduling follow-up
  • financial pressure over care

Best for: foster families and parents seeking family therapy with flexible school-based options.
Think twice if: You need reliable billing, insurance coordination, or responsive administration; past clients reported ignored callbacks and copay disputes.

Strengths

  • therapists available for after-hours emergencies
  • school-based counseling for working parents
  • strong track record with foster families

Worth knowing

  • Stephanie Coe named as therapist by satisfied client
  • Staff available for emergency calls after 10pm
  • School-based counseling offered alongside office visits
  • Triple P Parenting certification claimed on website
  • Foster families report fast intake (within 2 days) but one client experienced 30-minute missed appointment with delayed callback
