Says it's open. It's closed and had no warning. My appointment that was scheduled went down the drain. Drove miles for nothing.

Had a therapist who thought my period was the cause of my SH and suicidal ideations. I was a minor and he went through my period app. Since then I have been taken seriously and diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. Do not recommend

2 stars for the front desk and therapist. I hate rating places badly but it needs to be done.

4/5 years ago I moved in with a friend. He recommended this place to me for therapy. He was right, the therapist were great. But things have been hard for me most of my life and grew harder with age. I was 23/24 at the time. I was suggest to see a doctor, that maybe I could get on something to help stable me from the strong depression bouts I had as well as this destructive behavior I had from time to time. I tried to communicate with the doctor explaining these situations and he would just ignore me, quickly just get me in and get me out, not asking many questions. Prescribed me 2 pills, than 3, I became a mess and got worse. Well, at 24/25 I moved up to Grand Rapids for more opportunities. I had to find therapy up here and to continue my medications. I really was responsible about my mental health because I didn't want to suffer, I still was having episodes of destructive behavior. Of course the doctor here, at Paw Paw told my mom it was women my age, it's behavior not an illness. So I believed it was myself. Well, things got worse. So bad. I showed my new therapist my notes and journal I had expressing everything. My boyfriend who has had many friends with several different kinds of mental struggles helped explain and figure things out I didn't know were not normal. Through our hard work for a year, they finally had a diagnosis. I was bipolar and experiencing Psycosis incredibly bad, and come to find out, I had this going on and off since I was a teenager. Which explains a lot. The doctor asked many questions and read my notes, he put me on *-1-* medication and EVERYTHING changed. No more episodes, no more dissociated feelings, no more depression, no more adnormal anything. I never knew this life I live now. I never knew it was capable of being better. It has improved into several ways and people have been wanting to be around me more than often, I can hold a job, I can pursue my passions, I am getting ready to head to college and pursue Plant Biology for 4 years, slightly scared, but believing and seeing myself able to commit and not have meltdowns anymore. And I am on 1 pill.

Over all, great place for therapy if the chemistry is right between you and one of the therapist. Not good at all for the doctor I visited. Be careful. Be wise, and know if you're being treated right, life will become like a fantasy and through hard work on your behalf and the right meds, you will be stable, be able to live and do more.

The front receptionist is very friendly. the therapist doing the intake was inviting. The regular therapist seems over worked and is continually overbooked. Suppose to be seen every two weeks and it's been more like once a month.

I have heard some undeniable truths that David Sheilds goes out quite often without referring to the construct of peoples new living trusts. I live in Berrien, he lives in, I don't know....but can't say I admit to his discipleship now that I live here in Berrien. What the hell, I though government employees didn't cooperate functionally without there surroundings-in-place of their work. Go find home sometime! Sorry.

I also go off books. Follow rules of the Letter not the name.

Reception is quick and kind. And my therapist is exceptional at challenging my negative thinking and suicidal ideation.
