      I gave them a check for 10 dollars as a one time donation. somehow they started to debit out of my account at *** ******** bank 10 dollars every month. I gave them no authority to take out monthly recurring charges. I also had to make a new contract with the bank because of this situation and I had to buy new check which cost me $31.40 out of pocket. I consider this fraud and a scam I would really appreciate a phone call.

      Terrible experience for myself and my daughter. I brought my 4 year old here for PCIT. She had a meltdown so the therapist recommended I go get my car from upstairs. While I was gone her and another co worker grabbed my daughter up under her arms leaving bruises on her. I would not trust this organization with any child! Ever! The director is just as hands on. They should not be touching children at all!
