Mental Health Providers in Piscataway, New Jersey

I was in this hospital early January of this year (2025). I can't even express how crappy this place was for me. I'm 15 years old for reference and half of the nurses and staff in the adolescent unit treated me horribly. The only really good thing about this place is the food options and groups. The therapy groups are actually helpful and was related to the kids treatment. Staff acts like they don't care about you and when you're crying or upset they'll just threaten to put you in the quiet room or a 1 to 1. Crying, angry, yelling, or any emotion shown isn't dealt with care and actual professionalism, they stand there, treat you medically but provide no comfort. Honestly I don't even know why I said they treat you medically because they barely do that. I would NEVER recommend this place to any teen or adult. I'm warning parents, please if you have other options don't send your child here if you're asking to have them be hurt even more mentally and have their medication dosed up for no reason.

For 4 months I struggled with the decision to leave a review. I really had high hopes since she provided some good advice during our initial sessions, and I was proud of myself for taking a chance with someone I only later realized had 1-star average google reviews. Then came the last minute cancellations & ghosting. If a professional believes that they are not a good fit for you, or vice versa, they should openly communicate that—I’m sure training provides insight on how to do this tactfully. Additionally, if a professional believes they should terminate work with a client for any reason, they should also communicate this. But to ghost someone dealing with mental health issues? To cancel without the option to reschedule & with no additional information? Wow. I’m really thankful I had the mental fortitude to pick up the pieces & get myself together, as there are so many others who would not be able to do so. I was so incredibly disappointed by my experience with this therapist, & would not recommend her to anyone.
