Ocean State Behavioral

We stayed with them for about 1 year. The clinician cared more about the relationship between my ex and myself rather than our son and his needs. The clinician worked as a family/couples counselor prior to Ocean State. Then to top it off the worker we got started to lose his patience with our son and would scream and yell at my son as well as driving my son around so the worker could do his errands instead of working with my son outside the home. The worker had 3 jobs including this and only talked about money and his nights going out. My son came home crying, tears in his eyes telling me that his worker screamed at him one day. Come to find out the worker was a mutual friend of my ex and she said she always thought he may have bi-polar but we still gave him a chance. Mental illness is dangerous if not being treated and this worker clearly has no healthy coping skills. I cancelled services when my son came home crying and told me everything. Now we have been without services for 6 months and on waitlists but even if we stayed and got a new worker we still had that one and only clinician so we left.

Digusted with this agency. Was with them since March 3rd and no worker. Couldn't find staff offered to come out 3 hrs a week. Told multiple people they wouldn't close my case for my son and within 5 days I got a letter. Clinician also told my father to put headphones in his ears if he didn't like what she was saying. 5 months of evaluations and you came out 1 time... disgraceful!
