4 stars because the security guard is always rude. The rest of the staff that I met is nice and professional.

This center accepts walk-ins. Almost no wait at all, maybe 10 minutes after checking in and filling out the initial paperwork, I was seen.

★★★★★★★★★★Jimika EvansJun 2025

I'm all around happy with my services here. Never changing.

★★★★★★★★★★Robert StrangeMay 2025

A very good place. They need a bigger waiting room though. This is my only criticism.

★★★★★★★★★★leah hewstonJul 2024

This is this worst clinic I have ever spent time at. The front staff is terrible and the “case manager” is a joke. Once Lauren Rath left , this place literally became a prison trying to 5151 you. Be careful. It’s not a safe place

This place is absolutely amazing. The staff truly cares about you as an individual. Due to the support I've received here my well being has improved beyond measure. I'm so grateful to Katie, Sucdi, Anna P, Eva and Josh for working as a team to ensure my success. When I arrived here I felt so hopeless and was barely functioning on a daily basis, I'm now just about thriving! I also wanted to thank the young man at the front desk for always being so welcoming and remembering my name. There just isn't enough space to possibly put into words all the ways Areta Crowell Center has changed my life through quality mental healthcare.

Best clinic I've gotten mental health services in a long time I enjoy all the groups and the facilitators who run the groups are awesome. The whole Areta Crowell staff the clinicians and medication prescriber and nurses all care about the well-being and safety of all their clients. I can obtest to that first hand. Areta Crowell has helped me so much the past year almost I've been with them. Not saying I'm cured from my mental health I still show symptoms from time to time. It's the coping skills and tools I've learned from them that has helped me finding better ways to manage my symptoms or when I'm overwhelmed and distressed to the point where I wanna self harm. I like to hope I'll continue to receive services here for foreseeable future.

I enjoy my sessions with my therapist she by far is amazing at her job. I have two different groups I go to throughout the week I enjoy. And the staff is so friendly as well they take mental health very serious which is important for my well-being.
