Ive had a good experience so far with Dr. Z. He seems to listen to how Im feeling and is willing to adjust my medications accordingly

I want to start off by saying my Therapist Jennifer is absolutely amazing. Unfortunately I had a horrible experience with Milos Z. I was diagnosed with ADHD at a very young age, and was re-diagnosed again recently. Milos Z absolutely refused to give me any help with my ADHD other than Strattera & Wellbutrin both of which did not work well for me. He told me that if I got re-diagnosed we could branch out and try something else. But, the week before I received my diagnosis back ( which was positive for ADHD ) I asked what kind of things he would be willing to try. And guess what... Strattera & Wellbutrin which again we had already tried and I did not go through all the trouble of getting re-diagnosed just to try something that again did not work! So I ended up leaving & going to somewhere new and have been on the needed ADHD meds and guess what... I feel better than I ever have before. Milos would always tell me it would just make me more anxious which turned out to be false. Besides that whole mess, whenever I had side effects from a med he would always say “ well my other patients don’t have those issues” and constantly compared me to others. And would never listen to how I actually felt.

Stay away from Ann Trench. I saw her for 2 sessions and she messed my head up more than a bad boyfriend or month long visit at my parents. Especially stay away if you have an eatting disorder - Ive seen my far share of therapists for binge eating disorder in particular and she is by far the worst and has no idea whats shes doing.

Their DBT program was recommended to me after I completed a partial hospitalization program. I was feeling pretty good and invested in trying the program here, until the end when I asked about the diversity of the program. The woman then proceeded to discuss the staff and clients.. describing how they had a white passing Native staff member. Then listing off the various racial make up of the clients, telling me that there were two black women in the program, one had dark skin and other was light skinned. I found the whole interaction very inappropriate.

I scheduled an appointment for major depression and anxiety. I accidentally missed my first appointment because I overslept. I called to reschedule the appointment and they said if you are late or miss your first appointment then they will not reschedule you. I know it was my fault for not being at my first appointment but a common symptom of mine and many others is oversleeping/ sleeping too much with depression.. this policy was not told to me when I was scheduling nor was it anywhere on their website. The text reminders said I may get a late/no show fee but not that I would be turned away from seeing anyone. It’s disappointing when a mental health professional turns you away because of a symptom that you are seeking help for. It was my first time reaching out to a professional for help and it ended up making me feel much worse about myself. I think a change to this policy to make any future patients feel better about themselves would be to not accept any reschedules after two or three late/no shows instead of only one. I would not recommend this place if one of the problems caused by a mental illness is oversleeping or being late/ unreliable.

This clinic is great. Ive been seeing a therapist here for several months and Im already feeling way more stable and healthy. The waiting area is calm and comfortable, the receptionists are quick and friendly, and the therapists are very dependable and well-learned. There are also cute little sound machines placed all around the clinic to help provide a soothing atmosphere. Definitely check this place out if youre in need of support.

I have seen plenty of doctors and therapy providers throughout my life, in Arizona, California, and here in Minnesota. I have never had a more warm and caring doctor as Dr. Z, and I truly feel blessed to have a doctor that doesn’t just have me in and out of his office to send me along, but one who really spends the entire time with me and to better understand how things are going with medications and life happenings. He gives me such hopeful perspective and insight as well which is just a cherry on top of everything else he provides for his patients. Not only from a relational standpoint, but even when he has been out of the office or when I have called in to have something sent in to my pharmacy or changed, he responds and gets things worked on and usually the very same day! I would not be so sure of myself and the direction my life is headed without my doctor! Also, the other people at the front and who work in the office are wonderful as well and I always feel safe and acknowledged, no matter what. Thank you to this amazing place! My life would look much different without your help.

Embarking on a PhD is difficult, emotional, and anxiety-inducing for the most brilliant and organized student. After struggling with a significant learning disability throughout my first year, a trusted friend recommended Choices Psychotherapy. Over a year later, I can confidently say that Dr. Belt has not only allowed me to continue pursuing my career, but given me the fortitude and self-discipline to be able to make positive changes across all areas of my life.

Began seeing a psychiatrist I felt was very knowledgeable and was very comfortable with in February 2018. After a few months of being a patient, I called to leave a message that I had lost one of my medications, made it very clear I was NOT seeking an early refill, just wanted the doctor informed that I would be off that medication until it was time for the next refill, as I wanted to make sure there were no adverse effects to suddenly stopping the medication. A receptionist called me back right away after that phone call and said the doctor refilled the medication and I could come get the prescription. I told her that was very nice of him, I hadnt expected that, but to tell him thank you. Picked up script, filled it, no problem... until my next visit. He accused me of abusing my medication, said he was taking me off it could turkey and would be refusing to prescribe it for me in the future. This was a med that worked very well for me that I had been on for over 3 years with a different doctor and NO previous issues. I then decided to go back to my previous psychiatrist and stopped receiving care at Choices in May 2018. During this time, I moved, half my mail was going to my exs and half was being forwarded...I received NO phone calls about a balance due or any bills until this past week (January 2019!), when I also received a NOTICE OF HEARING TO APPEAR IN COURT for unpaid bills!!! Called immediately and paid in full, the billing person was very nice and apologetic, but I would never go back there or recommend it to any family or friends. Horrible experience.

My therapist, Kimberly, seriously helped me turn my life around through the use of DBT skills. I am in a much better place because of the work she did with me and I’m so grateful to be where I’m at today. I also see Dr. Z for my medications and he is smart and thoughtful, albeit very busy. Overall I highly recommend Choices!

I was a patient of Dr. Belt, one of the coldest physicians I have ever had the displeasure of working with. We agreed that a medication was working for me and she decided out of the blue to discontinue treatment. Instead, she suggested trying medications I didnt have good results with previously. This resulted in a myriad of adverse side effects, frustrating and frequent visits to the pharmacy, and a great deal of worsened anxiety. I was also left with a cabinet full of ineffective medication I later had to return to the pharmacy to destroy. Shes monotonous and seemingly unfazed by human emotion. Luckily Ive found a more empathetic medical professional. I will say Choices Psychotherapy does have a fantastic waiting room.

Dr. Z is the best! The staff is very helpful, I have recommended this place (and Dr. Z) to a few friends and they have found it great too! Dr. Z is the first doc Ive seen who actually understood my issues and worked with me to understand them better.

Very impersonal and cold. I called to reshedule an apointment because I had the flu and they chraged me $200. Dr Zivkovic is creepy and made suggestive statements. Seems to only be interested in making a lot of money. Dumpy looking office. Nice receptionists.

I have been going here for a while and I like the venue and the people I worked with.Recently however, I discovered an accumulation of $900 in bills that were not being sent to my current address, and instead my moms, that I thought would have been updated with all the paper work I filled out. I also do not understand why no one decided to check up on me to inquire the unpaid bills sitting getting stale since February that I had no clue even existed. It would make sense for someone to be keeping an eye out on billing discrepancies like this. Really dont understand how this kind of mistake was made. Am I responsible for my bills? Yes of course, but they are also responsible for sending things to the right places.Had the bills been sent to my location, I would have been able to properly reevaluate my financial ability to sustain my mental health. Instead, no one said anything, and the books have piled up and I owe them now before the first. They waived the late fee, which was nice, but the fact this this much in bills was not brought to my attention nor sent to my correct address has left me angry, frustrated, and anxious, and now I am considering never going again, which is the exact opposite of what a establishment of mental health should be helping to remove. In this case, it has increased my stress and surrounding negative feelings.In terms of the reviews below criticising the abilities of the therapists, I would definitely take that with a grain of salt. Anyone who takes their mental health seriously should know that some therapists may not work for you. Especially when evaluating their personality...

As someone who has struggled with depression and anxiety for many years, I have experienced tons of different options for care in the Twin Cities. Choices, by far, has been the best quality treatment around. I have been through their Acceptance and Commitment Therapy program, their DBT program, and individual therapy. All of them were fantastic. Dont get sucked into a cycle of bad therapy, experimenting with different places like I had to do for many years. Just go straight to the best- Choices.

Not super engaged in my sons treatment. Height, weight, refill script. $300 for 10-15 minutes. What, you have a question about the bill? Youll have to talk to Dr. B about that. What, you have an urgent need to re-evaluate meds? We can see you in 3 weeks. Dr B will ignore this and say we dont understand. Well, maybe she doesnt understand.

I like choices, it’s nice and relaxing, my therapist treats my anxiety make me comfortable.

Picking a therapist based on a google review isn’t really the best way to find one. I like my therapist and my psychiatrist. The two leaders who run my DBT group do a good job. I personally don’t like the waiting area, because it has sliding plexiglass windows and give it a institutional feeling.

I would not recommend working with Ben Snyder. My experience with him was as part of a group of therapists that led an 8 week intensive outpatient program.In order to help out a person emotionally, a therapist has to be your friend, and Ben did not come across as a person I felt like wanted to be your friend. He seemed insincere when he acted like he cared about peoples problems.I got to know most of the other people in the program, and literally everyone agreed that they thought the guy was a jerk and really just not a likable person.Hopefully you will believe me and not think this is a biased report, because I really dont believe he has the right attitude to be in this profession.All of the other therapists I worked with were at least ok.
