THE DOCTOR ASK ME WHAT WAS WRONG HOW CAN SHE HELP ME I STARTED EXPLAINING WHAT I HAD GOING ON AND HOW THEY WASN'T HELPING ME AND STARTED CRYING THE DOCTOR TOLD ME TO GET OUT OF HER OFFICE I WAS CRYING. FOR 2 WEEKS I WOULD NEVER GO BACK THERE. I WANT TO SUE THEM BECAUSE IT WASN'T RIGHT AND NO ONE CALLED MY PHONE TO SEE IF I WAS OKAY
I miss AUTUMN (case manager) and Dr. Moghimi (psychiatrist)! They truly saved my life! 💜💜💜

Nice people
I am a previous client of the Center....they suck...life is so much healthier without them...especially any contact with Alan !!
One of the critical problems facing the Washington dc metro area, and large cities the Nation over has been the insidious creation of a primary tier of psychiatric services being administered by local. Jails, many of which are privatized thus ensuring their primaryconcern is to their shareholders dividends, thereby motivating private wardens to cut to the bone essential services across the medcal spectrum. Many,if not most,of these mentally ill offenders would be better seved by the Somes and Mclendon Centers of the world, at a dramatically different price tag to the American Taxpayer while at the same time providing better supervision working with mental health courts the Nation over.
