Ive seen Anju I believe over a hundred times over the past four years for mental health support. This was my first experience with therapy, and she has always been very patient, insightful, helpful, and nonjudgmental. Beginning therapy was a major turning point for me. Ive made great progress in my life over these years, and her counsel was a major reason for that. Very grateful to have found her

I really appreciate Mrs Anjus passion in doing her best in helping her clients, her honesty in evaluating the client needs vs her professional skill match in what is best option for that client; working to assist in maximizing the desired outcome. Mrs. Anju, move quickly to place her client with the best service provider possible, if her services are not a perfect match, in moving towards clients goal. Mrs Anju is extremely thorough, patient and a team-player with parents and caregivers.

This review is for ERIC TUCKER at DRG COUNSELINGI wish I could give a better review, but I honestly cant. I sought out counseling and guidance assistance from Eric beginning in November 17. I was going through a difficult life transition at the time and was really struggling to make sense of the reasons for that transition and how to get through it. I had visited another therapist in the last year, who I thought was pretty good overall, but just hadnt really worked with me to uncover the underlying problems and issues I was fighting against and then helped me to understand and work through them. When I began my time with Eric, I made clear that I thought I had some really difficult issues to work through and could he help me work through those.I am not an experienced patient. Am I supposed to be? I just came each session and presented myself as someone ready to listen and ready to take the words spoken to me and try to apply them to my life. Some weeks I was successful and other weeks, Erics advice was harder to apply to my situation. It didnt mean it wasnt valuable to me. Well, to me, it seems I wasnt very valuable to Eric or his time.I showed up to every appointment I made with Eric 10-15 minutes early. Every time. And every time, Eric showed up 0 to 5 minutes late. He would walk in the door to DRG at EXACTLY my scheduled appointment time or AFTER. I have always been told that if you show up at the scheduled time, that youre already late. Being a few minutes early allows time to check-in, process payment, have your moment/time to get ready for the appointment, etc. AND, if youre timely enough to show up exactly 0-5 minutes late, and be consistent about that, you could easily have shown up 5 minutes early.The issue of being punctual is important to me, especially because in addition to being late every session, Eric would always cut our session 5 minutes short, and say were running out of time for today. I understand that in the heat of telling your story, that it becomes necessary to cut the patient off and say well talk more about it next time. But when you show up 5 minutes late every time, I dont have respect for those times when Im then cut short. Internally, it angered me each time. Plus, Eric would always use those last 5 minutes to get scheduled for next time.The scheduling also made me feel like I was a worthless patient to Eric. Always on his terms. One of the things I enjoyed about coming to Eric was his willingness to meet with me on Wednesdays, which was my day off from work. This was fine for the month of November, but as we marched towards the end of the year, Eric made clear his schedule was going to change and he wouldnt be able to meet on Wednesdays anymore. Despite my telling him that I would try to work it out on my end, it just seemed that he was more interested in him than me, and that our sessions together werent valuable time spent for him.This all leads to a head on our last session together, just before Christmas. Again, I am not an experienced patient. And as I would explain my story and issues, it became clear and evident to me that I was simply annoying Eric, because of my failure to heed his advice in every life situation I encountered week to week. It wasnt because I didnt value his advice or wasnt trying....its because life is hard. When I would relay this to Eric, he would get laughingly frustrated at my inability to understand what I was doing to myself. To me, thats the whole reason I was there in the first place...to try to understand what I am doing to myself and how to work through it! Im not the expert. Hes supposed to be. Well, I guess my inability to make faster progress wasnt good enough for Eric.Our last session together, he said YOURE NOT READY FOR THERAPY.Im not ready for therapy?! Why the hell am coming then?! Eric said that because he A. didnt want to work with me anymore, B. I didnt fit into his new schedule, and C. I wasnt worth the effort.I hope Eric grows from this review. I didnt as a person as his patient.

*I am an independently licensed social worker (LCSW), and this review is from the point of view of a person who has worked for the company as a contractor.*Overall, the few clients I worked with in my time at the practice were great; and that was the most difficult part of having to sever ties with this place of business.RED FLAGS:•I was hired for a month, with no work email assigned•I had no training of how to use the electronic medical records system (I had to ask for the little bit of informal training I did get)•I had to take a client in the conference/overflow room (due to mis-schedule by the secretary)•It was weeks after signing on before I was added to the scheduling calendar•I am credentialed with almost 10 insurance panels, the secretary only a few patients were added to my schedule. Plus, I signed on to about 4-5 EAP panels via DRG, so getting clients should not have been an issue•I was told by the secretary (Carrie Teter) that “shouldn’t say the client’s last name when calling them to the back. When I asked if that was protocol, she said it “wasn’t a rule” but, in the past, someone had thrown a clipboard at her when said their last name. ...???•On my first day, the secretary gossipped about another clinician to me (MAJOR RED FLAG)•Secretary (Carrie Teter) threatened to grossly misuse the 911 emergency system on me for asking for a copy of my contract. Why would anyone want to work with a front desk who’d make irrational decisions like this?Bottom line: I regret taking the job. This was the WORST work experience of my life, mainly due to how the place was ran.
