Power For Change, LLC

"Just had a HORRIBLE experience working with Lydia Jones here. Unprofessionalism at its best. Would never recommend anyone use these services - especially with Lydia. Horrible."

"I don't know too much about Power for Change, but my I followed my therapist Amanda as she moved to this agency. I've been working with her for a year, and we've covered brainspotting, ADHD skills, and relationship skills. Regarding the agency, I haven't had any issues with insurance, and I love the text reminders for appointments!"

"So happy with them. They have been coming into our home for over a year now 3 times a week To assist our 15 year old daughter and she has made leaps and bound changes and continues to improve. They have become like family to us."

"I took my 13 year old daughter and we immediately connected with her therapist. We felt very comfortable and were able to work through many concerns. We will continue at Power of Change and highly recommend their services."

"Horrible, abusive organization. Power for Change was retained to assist an 8 year old child with 'intensive in-home therapy.' Power for Change used unlicensed therapists, who work with 'Lead" therapists - its director Steve Shefchik claimed that the Lead therapist who has only been licensed a few years, is its most experienced counselor. Its agents Sam McKenzie and Nichole Huss failed to provide the hours of individual therapy to the child that were promised, failed to provide sessions that were scheduled, cancelled and refused to reschedule sessions, and lied about the reasons services were not provided. The parent has documentation of the false statements Power for Change’s agents have made regarding events that occurred at sessions, and other false and/or deceptive statements the agents have made. It’s agents then without any discussion with the mother or child, inserted themselves into a custody dispute and rendered “professional” opinions, despite admitting much later that even then (let alone when they rendered those opinions) they did not know the child or her family. The mother has been threatened by the director of Power for Change to stop expressing her grievances to Power for Change’s agents, the child's records have been withheld from the mother, and these agents make parental decisions without consultation with the mother (who has and has always had legal and physical placement of the child with no allegation ever of abuse or neglect). The Power for Change director and the 2 therapists assigned to the child's case caused immense damage to the child, lied with apparent impunity, and overstepped their role in ways that are devastating."
