A Bariatric Evaluation is a comprehensive psychosocial evaluation is the standard of practice with potential bariatric surgery candidates. Pre-surgery psychosocial evaluations gather information via clinical interview and administration of objective psychological measures. Bariatric Evaluations have a dual purpose: first to screen for contraindications for surgery, and second to identify pre-surgery and post-surgery psychological treatment needs.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.

Reading through the negative reviews, I just want to shed a little light on the fact that we seem to be living in a state of instant gratification and entitlement. People need to remember that although you may be suffering, you're not the only person in the psychiatric clinic who is. All of the negative points seem to be issues with the individual and their personal expectations not being fulfilled to their liking rather than the integrity of the professionals working there and what they stand for.
I can confidently say that Northern Psychiatric is a fantastic clinic with fantastic staff to work

I have been a patient for 5 years. When my insurance changed, they didn't let me know my provider was no longer covered to find a new one. They then discontinued medications which you are not supposed to quit. Make sure you have money, otherwise they don't care.

I had an appointment scheduled some time ago. I waited about a month and a half for this appointment and had checked ahead of time to make sure emotional support dogs were allowed. When I showed up early for my first session with my dog, the woman at the front desk told me they didn't allow pets in the office. I explained that this dog was not just a pet but also an emotional support animal, and that a psychiatrist from my last city of residence had documented that in my records. Now, in an office which HAS it's own support dog, and whose practitioners actively recommend and advocate for their

It took me two and a half months to finally get an appointment. I accidentally wrote down the wrong time and was late. They were willing to reschedule me in another month and a half. The receptionist was rude, I left in tears and cried in my car for ten minutes before I could leave. I don't believe they are out to help anyone especially after I got a bill for my "no show" appointment. I guess it's a good thing I'm only passively suicidal instead of actively. Basically, don't waste your time.

Request a referral in St. Cloud, the cities, or even Mexico. This place is a joke. It does look nice though.
