Mental Health Clinic-Passaic

Dr. Janet Amaro is an amazing psychiatrist. I've been put on the wrong medication several times in the past, but Dr. Amaro chose medications that improved my mental health within a couple weeks of meeting. So far, I have worked with her for months, and my mental health and functioning continue to improve. She's so smart and observant, and her ability to choose medications that would work well for me led to improvements in my mood. I recommend her. 1 year update: she's still the best <3

This place is great, They are very understandable with patients and parents. I have 14 years using their service for my daughter. Dr Williams is phenomenal, Comprehended… Thanks again

Although everyone speaks calmly and acts like they care, this mental health clinic is very unprofessional. The words Customer Service is non-existent, their quick to put the blame on you when a problem occurs, and the staff dont seem to have the same information so be prepared to repeat it a few times. Finally If your appointment gets messed up, get ready to wait an additional month, since they seem to only book a month in advance. Seeking mental health is already a challenge as is and takes a lot of courage, in which this location succeeds at making that process harder. Save yourself the embarrassment and go somewhere else.

I took my child there for services and ended up getting treated myself as well. When I got to be so ill that I couldn't consistently hold down a job, they put me in contact with a day program that gradually strengthened me through work shops, individual and group therapy sessions. That particular organization, Friendship House, got me ready to get back into the workforce by placing me in short term work assignments. The last placement in 2004 is where I remain today. I've never had such a long work history anywhere else. The Mental Health Clinic of Passaic also connected me with legal services after I was continually denied Social Security benefits and helped me get them. When another legal issue occurred I was helped again by being connected with a second organization. Again, the problem was resolved. I've had family and individual therapy at the Lexington Avenue location as well as regular visits with Dr. Extraordinaire, Pamela Y. Williams. I'd go to her sometimes with absolutely no intentions of elaborating on my issues. I'd find myself dishing about everything I didn't want to talk about. In later conversations she'd refer to issues and situations that I honestly didn't recall ever revealing to her. It's not like she would sit there with a pad and pen and scribble down everything I was saying. She is just that good a listener. And she's intuitive. Her experience, expertise and skill is evidenced by her efficiency. And you can tell that she's one who cares about her patients. You don't have to believe me. Just look at the walls in her office covered by appreciative notes and drawings from the best character judges on Earth - children. Finally, I consider myself a success story. I will always have a mental illness before Kingdom Come. But that I am no longer in the fetal position and working everyday for the same company for the past 11 years is a testament to the wonderful work done at The Mental Health Clinic of Passaic.

Cassandra Alexander Harris is the worst person u can encounter there she won't explain anything I hate her for what she did to me I hope she doesn't do it to anyone else

This place is a yoke. They have un-experienced therapist that they think they know everything. I recommend to go a real clinic with real philologist that know their job better.

They were very helpful for so many years. Kind staff and my psychiatrist was wonderful.

Terrible service today I left two messages for the Director, one in the AM and the other in the PM and she never answered me.
