Edward Flynn is, without a doubt, a truly exceptional therapist. His approach to group therapy is transformative, and his impact on my life has been profound. I came to his group feeling overwhelmed by my circumstances, struggling to find joy and purpose. Edward possesses a remarkable ability to create a safe and supportive environment where vulnerability is encouraged, and genuine connection thrives.
My great nephew was in there we went to pick him up to see his dad overall the place was okay and the staff was really nice and courteous he's in a better place.
I was told that I applied for sliding scale payment, then I was told I did not. If you have insurance that doesn’t help much; don’t even mention it. They will not help you with sliding scale payments if they know you have insurance.
