Riverside Community Care is awful
I wasn't particularly impressed with Riverside Community Care in Upton, Mass., where I went for help with a mood/anxiety disorder, because I found the clinicians to be aloof, dispassionate and uncaring. It wasn't until I went elsewhere and saw how other places operate that I realized how bad it is. Riverside has doctors that do nothing but prescribe medicine and "licensed therapists" (not doctors) who do nothing but chat with you. No therapy, guidelines, strategies, discussions of how the brain works, nothing. Just useless, pointless rap sessions with a seemingly uneducated social worker and an MD with a prescription pad who makes zero effort to understand the problem. All they seem to care about is when you're coming back to pay for another session. There are good mental health options with caring people who help you set goals and reach them. This not one of them.
