This place has mixed reviews, I think the most negative ones are complaints that are coming from a irrational place. Truth is, this is staffed with students and volunteers so they do their best. The actual therapists when I went have been getting their degrees and meeting the requirements of certain amount of in person hours. If you are looking for one with longstanding experience this is not the place, that does not discredit the work they offer and the service to your needs.They are fresh in knowledge and eager to be attentive, as they also work under a large group of supervisors that are licensed. From what I remember, the sessions are recorded to maintain the guidance of these students on their way to getting their professional credentials. Essentially, these factors also play into why they offer such an open scale for payments. They ask that you do you best to provide your donation fee to cover the costs.I would say that in my 6 months solid weekly sessions, that I got what I needed. I saw a few different therapists and then was able to settle into my one. This is my experience, not sure how much if any things have changed, however I would recommend this place for those who are looking for short term and on a budget. Best of luck in your self care and the pursuit of therapy and healing.

Maple center is really a place where they train cowards rather than therapists. An acquaintance of mine recommended i try contacting this place. They give me a short 15 minute interview, were very quick to charge me $65 for it, and a few days later they turn me away by telephone giving some cockeyed excuse that they are only students. Of course they gave me a few referrals which were also dead ends.But its understandable whats going on with the therapy profession today. It is mostly just tongue and cheek window dressing. You know what happens when I try to contact therapists that arent students? They will usually give one of 3 excuses for not dealing with you. My favorite one is, My practice is full Then theres one I called who after only one or two questions by telephone immediately got intimidated and referred my to someone who wasnt even a therapist!--just a medication prescriber. And who was just as expensive as the one who referred me would have been if i ever could have been one of the lucky few who could have ever met with her. Then of course theyll just outright tell you, I charge about $500.00 a session. And how many people can really afford those kinds of fees? And these werent even students i was contacting!!!These are likely the kinds of therapists the maple center is producing. Perhaps the therapy profession is dead as we know it. Therapists today are mostly trained to fill their wallets, not to accept challenges. Even the person who referred me to the maple center did not end up any better off after two years of getting service there than when he/she first started going there! They likely only accepted him/her because of some college connection. So try the maple center at your own risk. If you display any signs of having any real problems, i wouldnt bother dealing with them. Theyll likely take your money and turn you away.But maybe its just as well that they turned me away. Although I havent dealt with too many therapists in my life on an intimate basis, the more i deal with them, the more I realize that most of them are even crazier than I am. So maybe Im better off.

They never helped me.... Basically threw my issues out the window... If you are in desperate need of services they lack empathy and compassion for you... I would give them no stars... They basically say your not good enough for them while they smile in your face.. I cried after they told me I wasnt good enough for them.... They call me back and say oh your accepted and we will have a therapist call you... Got me all excited.... Then boom they call me the next day and said oh your not good enough.... Which crushed me all over again.... Oh and then sent me to a county place which was not happening... Plus I had to call them back because they gave me a wrong number.... If your in need of services go somewhere else.... Hopefully Ill find someone to help me with some services.... Until then im going to keep looking.... Hopefully this helps someone else...

I’ve used Maple Counseling Center for both talk therapy and psychological services for over a year and a half. They they are very fair with pricing and easy to work with. I’ve worked with three different people in treatment and all have been awesome. There was one point where they had a lapse in finding a full time psychologist when their had changed practices, but I feel they handled it pretty smoothly considering and the person they found for the interim was actually better. Definitely a more consistent, professional, and caring option than my experiences working with MediCal mental health services and Kaiser. This center has made a tremendous positive impact on mine and my family’s life.

I suppose some reviewers had really bad experiences. If you know that these are primarily interns you will be seeing before you make any appointment that would help a lot. My experience was very positive. They worked with a living scale and found a fee that was quite reasonable considering my very tight budget. They encouraged me to find one of their therapists that fit me instead of just taking whomever they assigned. I ended up seeing someone after they left the center and have stayed with her ever since and she didnt even raise my fee very much at all at her private practice. I go a lot of accomplished there and continue to with my current therapist who came from there,

STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS!! This happened a number of years ago. I went there because of problems with my daughter that her father was creating. He was a known sociopath, who lies and manipulates to get his way and turn my daughter and people against me, which is why I was having problems with her. They assigned me to some Iranian lady that could barely speak any English. I explained to her the situation with my daughter‘s father about the lies and stories he makes up to turn my daughter against me and he is a clear Sociopath. She told me she’d like to meet him in the next meeting. I thought that was kind of strange but at the same time I was vulnerable, and let him know. Mind you, I told her the reason I am having problems with my daughter is because he is a sociopath who manipulates and makes false accusations against me . I think these people should be educated in what sociopaths are. When he came in the room the first thing she asked him is what do you think of what’s going on with all this? First thing out of his mouth were false accusations with nothing to back it up. She wasn’t even smart enough to see through him. A moron can see through him, and she was warned already. She called department of children services on me which could’ve landed my daughter taken away and into the system. Department of Childrens Services came to investigate, and found the accusations completely unfounded and dropped everything. I’m glad they were competent enough to see through it. It was a moment I never want to relive. Stay away, they will not help your family they will destroy it!!

This place is in the basement for a reason!! This place is proudly sponsored by the Weinstiens. Its VERY close to being shut down and for good reason! If you thought you had problems before--the MAPLE center will show you that theyre there for CASH or hours--they DONT CARE about clients

I paid to take classes for continuing education credits and at the end of the year the Maple Center refused to issue me the CEUs without any explanation.

Unprofessional and inexperienced staff, claustrophobic offices located in the basement of a dilapidated office building. After completing the required paperwork to see a counselor and making numerous follow-up calls I was simply lost in the shuffle and not contacted for over 4 months. Finally, after making 2 additional in person visits, I was able to start seeing a therapist. However, unfortunately, most of the staff here are inexperienced, and frankly poorly educated & trained, interns - despite still charging upwards of $150 per session. Unless you are seeking ways to test your patience and frustration - AVOID.

Does UHA is in that building?

I would recommend that you save your money and your time and avoid this institution all together. The receptionist was very quick to take my money even though there was a conflict with the person my daughter and I were supposed to meet. Instead of just saying she wasnt available she took the money and then refused to put it back on my credit card which I will handle through my bank. The parking is also terrible. The staff is unprofessional and disorganized. I think they need some shrinking of their own. All they had to do was pick up the phone and say the meeting had been cancelled. Caveat Emptor!

All master level interns and no doctors in some dark old basement. I felt more depressed after entering this place. No wonder they don’t charge the clients! They should pay people to go there not get paid!

Very professional, cozy, trust worthy environment. I love it. And cant live without it.

I can’t recommend this place more highly. It helped me to change my life.

Amazing staff!! Ive made soo much progress in my sessions..
