notMYkid, Scottsdale, Arizona

Warm and welcoming staff with a terrific team approach for helping children.

notMYkid The sign above the front door, welcoming everyone who enters, says - "YOU belong HERE" My teen and I find the vibe to be supportive, caring, kind, professional, open, fun and teen focused. My teen connected… with his therapist almost immediately and so looks forward to going to see her each week. NMK has created a safe, encouraging place for teens (and their families), going through complex times, in their lives. My teen sees, feels and benefits from that. "YOU belong HERE" notMYkid is a welcoming, accepting, place for teens living many different stories (e.g. anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, etc). I highly recommend you check them out!

Great place for kids to get support. Regina was great getting everything together and getting us in a timely manor. Every one was amazing and most important is my daughter really like it here and seems to be helping a… lot with the bump and grind of being a teenager

On the "intake" my family was separated and step parents weren't allowed back in? Both families were there to support our child and the people who actually raise her were not allowed back in the room. If we had been let… back in they would have known that this is part of our daughters MO. To divide and drive a wedge between not only parents but families as well! I personally will not be returning to a facility that wants to take part in not allowing all parties involved with her well being to take part. Horrible place and I don't feel as if they are truly working on her well being or getting that pay check? Hard to tell with one visit, I'll give you that. However to not allow the support of all parties into the process of intake, just to see what she is battling can sure lead you down a surtain path.

My child’s pediatrician recommended this office for therapy, my teen does NOT have substance abuse history. Our overall experience has been outstanding. The office environment is laidback and everyone we have… encountered there has been so kind. I believe the therapy dogs name is George which is kind of cool to have. It’s easy to schedule appointments and insurance billing has been seemless. My teen goes here without complaint and likes the therapist they see, Melanie. I would highly recommend this place even if your kid does not have history of substance abuse, and they are having just a stressful time in life or some anxiety, or just random things that a therapist could help with like school issues or grief or history of something traumatic as a child, bullying, etc… I also want to note that my teen tried a few different therapists before and just did not respond well like they did at NotMyKid. So don’t get discouraged, I would recommend giving it a try, as NotMyKid has a completely different vibe than the other therapists offices we tried before.

I would love to talk up this program and say it's GREAT and all. I even used to want to work for this company at one point. THIS was until Iearned that the owner/starter of this fine establishment is the most despicable… coercive human being to ever exist on this planet. He claims to be a "doctor" who has TONS of experience helping adolescent people. Well this couldn't be further from the truth. Most of his original patients are originally court ordered to go to this man and he even stuped so low as to own and operate the AZ drug monitoring program TASC and urine testing sites. This man is all about one thing MONEY AND PROFITS, at no cost will he stop. He's had many other allegations made against him to the point it's incredibly distrusting/disturbing. I was once was a patient and my life was so drastically ruined by him, all so he could earn another couple thousand by tricking MANY unsuspecting parents into things they CERTAINLY REGRET... Like I said I really wanted to work and help this program preform at its maximum potential, but sadly that will never be possible with someone like the person running the helm, who created the group is such a evil and degenerate human being. It's sad because I feel as if I could easily run and help a program of this supposed "caliber" But be able to reach many more people and help people avoid many of the mistakes that I have made in my life, and ones I have become accountable for, and HELP them but one thing still remains the same. That is my life was completely distorted/changed because of this man and it never had to be taken to the point of no return how it was and that's something he will never take "ACCOUNTABILITY" for/on because he's the truly "SICK" person in all of these scenarios which will eventually NEVER work to help your child. I will eventually be posting a real site and resources people can use to get the proper help from. Because trust me I know about 20 people who where "Not My Kid" attendees and guess how many of them are still alive with us today? ZERO (0) None of them live to tell the failure of this establishment built on greed and the unknowing trust to people who are more than desperate to help the ones they so dearly love

I’m so grateful for notMYkid. The programs and classes have been a huge help, for my son and I. The staff has gone above and beyond, to offer assistance and suggestions. Most of our interactions have been with Vanessa.… She has been amazing.

I feel help my kid will definitely help. We took classes to help my children they learned info as what you can go through and your body and I even learned what I didn’t know before I think this program is awesome for… kids and I feel it will help with those that need it and there stories are so real because they actually went through it and you can see and feel the hurt. I enjoyed the classes and learned thank you to both of you
