10 years ago I would have given 5 stars but things went very downhill at La Cheim. First, most of the good therapists / staff they had either quit, retired or moved onto something better and now what's left is a couple of the good people who didn't leave and a bunch of cold, uncaring, unprofessional and unorganized new staff. Dr. Beckerman retired unfortunately, he was the best! He has been replaced by Amanda Morrison who should definitely not be working in the mental health field...or working with people at all in any capacity. She's horrible, cold, uncaring and that's IF she gets back to you.... I left a voicemail that never got returned, so I tried again, still no return call and I tried a final time and finally heard back 2 months after that the way she talked to me and treated me, I don't even think she should be a janitor in the building... she shouldn't be around people, especially people dealing with mental health issues... she needs to go! I truly can't believe that out of all the potential people who could have taken Dr. Beckerman's place they chose her... ?! Hiring a patient would have been a smarter move. I mean, no one could ever replace Dr. Beckerman, but they could have at least chosen someone to take over who is semi nice and professional who at least cares a tiny bit about her job and other people in general. I don't know much about a lot of the other new people they have there but I really hope Ed, Noam and Lorna are still there... they were the last few good ones La Cheim had left last time I checked. Without Dr. Beckerman, Ed, Noam and Lorna I can't imagine there being anything good about La Cheim anymore, especially with Amanda there.

70% of their staff are either UNLICENSED or in- training therapist trying to get their required clinical hours. Their inexperience often shows up as as incompetent individual therapy and unskilled group therapy management where the talkative or manic patients are allowed to monopolize group time. The provided lunch is such cheap food, it is discusting.

I had a wonderful experience here. The staff is very patient with those who have difficultly opening up to a therapist. The care I received was top notch. Very caring staff who make sure you are truly ready graduate. Kudos.

I am a case manager and love La Cheim. The feel in the building is one of calm and welcoming. The staff are extremely competent and professional and definitely go above and beyond to care for their clients. La Cheim also had transport for pick up and drop off which can be a huge help for many. Their clinical approaches seem valuable and to inspire a comfortable and easy environment. My client's have many good things to say about their program. I have always felt very helped by La Cheim and am pleased whenever I go there. Thank you.

This center provided a wonderful life-changing for one of my relatives. It is safe, yet offering the maximum freedom possible to people going through the terrific challenge of a mental breakdown.
