Paterson Counseling Center Inc – Paterson

Very disorganized when it comes to therapy. Medication management was great though.

Veronica and Lesly both are great counselors. For years, I’ve had a hard time managing my anger. But Veronica’s women empowerment group has given me a different outlook. I’m not easily angered or triggered as I used to… be. I’m able to walk away.

I just called spoke with a female not sure of her name but when I asked if I can make an appointment for Mental Health she said they do not do that there. Got my a lil upset bc a lots of people and other agencies had… spoke of this place not to highly tho but still it is very close to my home. Know have to hustle another place to go and deal with GREIF Guilt, Shame, Resentment n everyone's favorite Self Forgiveness.

I wanted to take a moment to express my profound gratitude for the exceptional support I received during my time with your center. Every member of your staff went above and beyond in making my experience truly… remarkable. I must give a special shout out to Khadijah, my counselor, who played an integral role in changing my life for the better. Her dedication, expertise, and unwavering support were truly amazing throughout my counseling sessions. Khadijah's professionalism and compassion are unmatched, and she is undoubtedly the best in her field. I wholeheartedly recommend the Options Counseling Center to anyone seeking help. The caring and committed team, along with extraordinary professionals like Khadijah, make it a place of healing and transformation. I genuinely believe that she deserves all the recognition and support she can get. Thank you all once again for being a beacon of hope and a source of positive change in my life. I will enthusiastically recommend your center to anyone in need you won't regret!!! THANK YOU KHADIJAH!!!🙏❤️

I came here for about about year. The staff has always met me with nothing but positivity and support. Chris was my councilor and even after graduating I still call him to check in and talk because he is truly helpful… and cares about his clients. After being through several cookie cutter programs and a mommy and me the was shut down by the state, it’s nice to see a program that actually cares about their clients. They’re willing work with and connect with people as individuals, not just addicts.

The help and encouragement I received from the staff was real. They want you to succeed, and I did. I graduated today, and for the first time in a very long time, I felt motivated to do the right thing. Thank you… Marcus!! It takes very special people to do this kind of work and I'm very grateful to all the staff!!!

The administration assistant is excellent if I had a business I would want her to be the first person people meet. The young lady that takes the insurance paper work excellent really know how to handle herself. The Dr I… seen on the computer excellent. But there were two people that I encountered that I feel make the company look bad and truly made me feel like I did not want to come back. And that is the guy that took the urine and sandy or Sandra not sure of her name but she was not pleasant at all. And it is a shame because that place have very good potential.

The best place too go when u have an addition,mental heal problems and parenting classes.also anger issues too. It saved my life and my family too.

This place is a joke to me seriously. I never had met such ignorant people. I'm 9 months pregnant I been clean for 4 years and they are going to tell me I am using gabapentin. Are you freaking serious. Then I suggest… something must have went wrong and the lady is gonna call me a liar and say the drug test don't lie... Like umm sweet heart yes it does cause I sure did not use no gabapentin. They are quick to look at everyone as a liar or a drug abuser and wonder why people relapse. What's the point of being clean if your accused of using a drug you never even used before?? Lucky I am clean for myself and not just out of force cause being treated like that will sure cause a relapse on someone.

Accepts medicaid: These people are a gift for anyone struggling with mental health, substance abuse or legal issues - period. Kind, compassionate, they are geared towards your goals whether it's to get your children… home from DCPP or graduate probation/parole. There is no fake-it to make it here; they randomly drug and alcohol test and CLEAN and SOBER is the goal. These ppl won't lie to you, come in here and don't lie to yourself. They are a great outpatient program which works with your schedule and EVEN will help you with financial aid from social services! Theres even a psychiatrist - this place DOES IT ALL. Parenting class, it's here, motivational support is here, anger management classes: DONE HERE. YOU will learn so much, these ppl keep you positive, they understand you and youll feel so comfortable with staff and other participants I'd recommend this place to anyone, these people WILL help you and will make you feel like family! Excellent service Rene Nelson and staff!

Great atmosphere

If you're willing to work on self they'll help you find your path
