The Mindful Health Foundation

"We were never happier when our daughter decided to quit going. During her treatment they told her to stop talking and sharing with her family. They want full control over patients so they depend solely on them. In my opinion to make it where the patient feels they can't do life without them and isolate them from their family support. Financial gain on Mindful Health's behalf."

"I have been going here for quite a while and I’m shocked to see the reviews as I’ve only ever had pleasant experiences with the staff. They are very good at communicating when I need help with an issue. I’ve had severe anxiety for years, to the point I couldn’t even get a grip on my life. This place changed that for me and I couldn’t be more grateful for them. All of the staff are very friendly and welcoming including Valerie! Thanks for helping me get control and comfort back to my life"

"If you require therapy do not go here! I was taken advantage of & manipulated in a time of vulnerability by the Director Valerie Stec & staff of The Mindful Health Foundation. Huge lack of transparency with billing, not disclosing costs of services & avoided topics of insurance & payment, leading patients into receiving service without knowing the full price! Multiple times the director would literally avoid their patients when it came to inquiries of costs. Hippa privacy laws were broken due to staff & patients sharing confidential information when patients & ex-patients were not present. Unfortunate bias from staff to long term pre-existing patients. I was pressured into immediately starting medication despite proper diagnoses & continued to be pressured despite my desire to try other methods of treatment first. Nonsensical disorganization amongst scheduling where therapists waste 30 minutes of a 1 hour session due to poor time management & the patient will still be charged for the full hour, or scheduling patients to come in only to be told they are not being taken (wasting time & gas). Patients were forced to participate in ‘Family Meal Time’ where you eat for an hour (even if you do not struggle with any eating disorder related issues), wasting time that could be spent on proper patient treatment. I cannot eat dairy and oats which was known, however, in nutrition class everything was diary related, wasting my time & money for a class that did not apply to me. When I spoke up about this, the director said it was an outburst & that I can’t control my emotions, though we were encouraged to express any discomfort as it was a ‘Safe Place’. Director Valerie Stec gaslighted, manipulated & made quick assumptions about patients. This is a place of business providing services to customers however Stec will only see you as a patient & push you down into a corner. I was taken advantage of & manipulated in a time of vulnerability by the director & staff of The Mindful Health Foundation & continued to be lied to after leaving. I would give zero stars if I could."

"Unprofessional and unethical conduct. Charged insurance for services never provided. Sent bill with no prior explanation or notice of charges to insurance and me for out of pocket expenses. Took controlled substances prescribed to me from prior independent professional who left mysteriously. Misled led me, couldn’t be bothered returning phone calls. Had someone else do the dirty work. New doctor was a terrible listener and made inappropriate comments. Wasn’t there for an eating disorder, btw. Look elsewhere, is my recommendation. Shame on the unscrupulous parties. Such carelessness in prescribing meds. Smh. Cowardly bullies. Ugh"

"The people there are very kind. But a couple things lead to this review. First there is no follow through. They say they will do something and it doesn't get done. Second, I've left messages, emails, texts and never get responses. Thirdly, they did not know what to do with me because" I'm a different case they never seen before". But, they have good types of therapies. I went somewhere else though that could accommodate me a little more."
