The Aris Clinic treatment approach provides customized, intensive therapeutic services in a coordinated and structured environment.

We've been blown away by the compassion and professionalism ARIS shows at every step of the process. You took the time to get to know us all, and you treated the kid as he is, not some ideal that's not his true identity. Thank you so much for everything - you saved ---'s life. I hope to come back, only to tell you that everything changed for the better after her treatment!

I am not one to bad mouth or leave bad reviews unless the experience was extremely poor. Needless to say I was NOT impressed with this clinic at all... they tried pressuring me into putting my daughter on a med I wasn't comfortable with and then when we decided not to they told us she couldn't stay. In addition to that when they took her blood pressure they squeezed the cuff so tight it bruised her arm.
I tried more than a few times to talk with Dr Kennedy however I was never able to. Her employees made it seem like her time was so important that she couldn't take a few minutes out to talk with

This clinic is such an amazing place. They do everything they can in their power to help children & adolescents grow and overcome whatever mental illness they may be struggling with. As an intern there last summer, I got to witness first hand how kind, empathetic, and life-changing this staff is. They were so welcoming to me, and to every child that walked through those doors. Watching the therapists at Aris Clinic do their work has been my main motivation for the future. I can only hope to be half the therapist that the ones at Aris are one day!

The psychiatrist has horrible judgement. You meet with her once a week for maybe 5 minutes before she diagnoses you or prescribed medications and she takes as many shortcuts as she can. She would rather prescribe a child with antipsychotics that accurately diagnose them even if she knows that they have horrible side effects. I came out much worse than I was when I was admitted. Do not send your child here.

This clinic is a sorry excuse for mental health care. The staff are poorly trained and it is a wonder to me what could possibly make these people qualified. To make things worse, there is a wide range of age groups at Aris, which makes it impossible to treat patients appropriately according to their age. The mental health issues that small children suffer from and the mental health issues adolescents suffer from are completely different. A seventeen year old with social anxiety shouldn't have to listen to a five year old's screaming and crying all day long, and a seven year old child suffering

I went there the kids in there shouldn't have been in there they had simple problems and all they needed was a friend. The staff there are amazing they are very kind excepted for 2 the treat you like you know nothing and that your opion dosent matter. I had a friend in there and they sent her to higher care because she said to the "Doctor" that she has been fighting with her mom and she didn't like her. My own experience here it was ok I didn't like the doctor she put me on Sefer medication for depression and anxiety. The doctor or theripst there I recommend that she get throwers out she talk to

It's been an honor to be a part of such an amazing team and witness first hand the life changing impact on kids and their families participating in the Intensive Outpatient Program. It's rewarding to receive thank you cards from patients and their families who appreciate the work that our team does to help kids and their families achieve healthy and stable lives.

As an ARIS technology partner, I’ve had the pleasure of visiting with the clinic almost monthly over the past few years. Every time I go back, I’m reminded of how much I enjoy working with the staff at the facility. Of course, the facility is beautiful, set in a gorgeous location and very well maintained. But the heart of the practice is its wonderful, warm staff, who care about everything they work on and take personal pride in their results.

As a licensed psychologist, I have had the opportunity to consult with ARIS for over five years and the staff has always shown the utmost professional judgment and integrity. Parents of children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral health issues can feel overwhelmed during crisis situations. They can be relieved to know that ARIS is a creative and comprehensive behavioral health program and that they will be in good hands.
