Report
Dr. Hartye changed our lives -- for better, forever. After struggling with our daughter -- with eating, with sleeping, with attention and focus, with sensory issues, etc. -- we had our child formally assessed and learned she is autistic and has ADHD. For more than 10 years, I had asked pediatricians, educators and THREE different mental health professionals -- one with a PHD -- if she might be autistic and I always was told no.
She was too smart, too clever, too verbal, too social, too sarcastic. As it turns out, she was TOO FEMALE to be identified by health care professionals who should know what autism looks like but DON'T. The under-diagnosis and mis-diagnosis of autistic females is a huge problem that no one seems to recognize. If your teen daughter is cutting, using drugs / alcohol, anorexic, depressed, gender dysphoric -- has ANY ISSUE beyond normal teenage angst -- please please get her assessed for autism. Preferably by someone like De. Hartye who understands how autism presents in biological females.

I used to see Amy Quinn and I stopped going here because she would fall asleep during the sessions which was very inappropriate. She also convinced me to pay out of pocket for a "test" which she felt was necessary even though I already had several things I was diagnosed with. My insurance ended up paying for the test and when I asked to be reimbursed for the amount that I paid out of pocket they claimed that I had missed appointment fees and late appointment fees. This place is terrible. Beware.

Where to even begin. We contacted the Drs as they also did an evaluation for my eldest daughter several years ago. We didn't have any issue back then. But as times change so does the service. We called because my 9 year old daughter is having some issues and we wanted a thorough evaluation by an outside source before checking into therapy. Cancelled on our appointment twice. We have waited over two months for someone to contact us.
We have lost work days, kept our child out of school only to have our appointments cancelled at the last minute, twice. They are very unprofessional and I would suggest you spend your money elsewhere so you can get results and not cancelled appointments. Bringing your child here would be a massive mistake.

My daughter has anxiety issues, they have not seen her. I received a call from one of the therapist name Hartye and she cut me off saying they cant help my her. She was very unpleasant, almost rude. I'd say stay away from that practice

My experience here was very chaotic. I had no idea what to expect and the staff did not make it clear who I would be seeing. During my first appointment I was lead in for a session and the therapist seemed very confused and flustered. We went an entire session without her even giving me her name or introducing herself, which was a big red flag. Second session ended early and the follow up was scheduled 3 weeks out, which was also a red flag considering we barely even got to know one another. Overall they seemed far too busy for a new patient which is the exact opposite of what you would want.
