High turnover. My kids psychiatrist doesn’t even let us know when to reschedule. I’ve sent emails either slow response or no response. When I’ve gotten a response it’s vague and indifferent. Billing has made more then one mistake and one bill that accidentally came to use was billing the insurance for over 28k for a few months. Mind you my kid is an out patient. The wise program has been good.

Amazing staff and therapists. I got admitted here when I was 12. I was a struggling young girl and Ryther really did help me. Yeah, I had my ups and downs, like... alot of them, but now Im 16 and I have a job and have been living my best life!

The billing office is terrible. They have changed my co-pay for multiple visits; they re-billed me for visits I had already paid for, increasing the co-pay by $38. Their billing system and invoices are unnecessarily complicated. The therapist was not supportive of the relationship between my child and myself, as well as the family we had created. In fact, the therapist, in cunning collaboration with my childs father, assisted in the plot to have my child whisked away to the other side of the state. They planned to do this while I was out of town, so that I would come home and she would be gone. The therapist coached my child to say terrible things about me and our family. Now my child believes she is better off living a lie with a parent who has chosen not to be part of her life for 7 years. I would not recommend Ryther to anyone. The psychiatrist was terrible, as well. All in all a bad experience all the way around.

Great Place helped me when I was a kid. Very therapeutic staff and a close knit community. Probably the best pre adolescent mental health facility in Seattle.

Spent some time here as a patient , really good program , Mr Hall and Basheer by far the coolest guys on campus. really appreciated them . Oliver was my case manager real cool dude. staff was very helpfull and understanding . this was in 2011. remember it like it was yesterday .

An amazing non-profit that supports our community!

My name is Louanne. I was admitted to Ryther Child Center on August 11, 1981. My experience as a resident at age 11 was beyond horrendous. I was singled out by staff and picked on by the other kids. I was humiliated and pushed away when all I wanted was to be loved by someone. A former foster child bounced in and out of many homes was more then any child should endure. I would probably not recommend this placement only because of my own experiences and all I went through. My advice to a parent/caregiver is that you stay in regular contact with any child you entrust to an institution, no matter what type of institution it is. In cases of medical or mental health treatment, you don’t want to invade your child’s privacy. But you should make sure your child is ok, feels safe and comfortable, and isn’t experiencing trauma.  Hope this helps!

Of course this was years ago in the 70s. Ill never forget this place it was the best thing that ever happened to me in my younger years!

Ryther does deeply meaningful work here in our community and much of the time, is the only advocate for children and families navigating the difficult foster care process. They are local heroes!

Because of the racial profiling and mistreatment from staff and colleagues and doctors therapist counsel all staff at ryther lie and abuse patients especially involved with DCFS they really abuse children with the help of DCFS and mistreat familys that children were kidnapped with the lies and help of DCFS they abuse there authority each and every staff at Ryther and severely traumatize kids dope them up without parents consent and keep the kids locked in this jail cell built in their facility on campus grounds for hours at a time bare and cold like the hole in prison driving wonderful bright children in to spaced out nervous traumatized wrecks so they can keep them there and still all the government funds in close partners with dcfs its disgusting inhumane and abuse torcher and it need to be shut down for good and all staff should be in prison for all crimes they have condoned and horrific trauma pain torcher each child they should be given a lifes sentence the pain they have caused children will never heal from what Rythers staff has done to all ages of children embezzlement as well Im so devastated to no that these are people with degrees in working with children it is sickening to no these types of animals exist I no from experience my son is going through it and I want him out of that place he is being hurt all the time and I love my baby and want him home hes been locked there sense November 12,2017 and has not been on no outings or cant leave that horrible place DCFS and ryther are killing my son in this crazy toucher hospital NAACP Shut them down my son will forever be damaged by the long term forced to live at ryther and all the abuse my son forced to go through by staff doctors and therapist Kristine treace Mallory ECT and the list goes on worst place ever the torcher that is inflicted on children secretly

Have done some PR events there and the staff is courteous and fun. Highly doubt they torture individuals.

The staff at Ryther make a profound difference in the lives of children who have experienced trauma.

The best

Excessive staff turnover without proper communication or patient therapy coverage along with poor billing practices..

Well its okay
