Lack of experience and out of touch with the client and the parent of the client. There were so many times of seeking help and ideas to assist with my son with his behavior and home and all of my cries for help fell on deaf ears, ignored and the lack of guidance was a big issue. There was a disconnect and lack of common ground. She provided no direction, clinical expertise or overall knowledge of the situation. We asked for a male or a different therapist a month ago and still no follow up or update, no answers at all. My son said he just didn’t want to be with her anymore. There were so many problems with this agency and it started with an inexperience student intern with a large ego. We tried to give them a chance but they failed us horribly. I had to go and seek help from others, which the help they suggested was beneficial and produced positive outcomes for my son. Hudson River Counseling and their staff was not helpful. After many month of asking for help for psych evaluation and medication for my son, they pointed us in a direction that was counterintuitive and delayed care. Again, finally with the help of other outside assistance that we inquired about help us get our son on a medication regimen that has been effective, he still has some progress to be made but I am relieved that we got some much needed help with those who are competent, knowledgeable and down right cares. I felt so unsupported at Hudson River Counseling. Hudson River need a revision of their agency goals, mission and vision to find solutions for situations that are difficult than others.
