Complaint Review: Excel Center Millwood

At the Millwood owned Excel Center they practice humiliation therapy. How is that good for anyone? A so called therapist named Mrs. Ebony is doing most of it. She may be unlicensed as the term therapist often is. She is black and seems to target the whites more.

Abuse at home goes unreported. Anyone at the center who is being abused by another family member is told "they just cant handle life".

Here's a list from Mrs. Ebony of how staffs treats others

1. Teens are forced to introduce themselves and admit they are very sick at the start of group. When a teen refuses to claim a serious self induced mental problem the therapist in charge humiliates them in front of the others. How is abuse at home a mental problem?
2. "You should not feel sad that way".  This was told to someone who was hit by family member. How is this invalidation a therapy?
3. "You're off your meds, because I never said that. --insults by therapists now?
4. "Oh that's silly come to reality"- While snapping fingers and making a face at a teen.
5. "You never want to do what's right we know how you are".

You could clearly hear someone being forced down in the next room. Then a group of adolescents were told, "That's what happens to ones who don't obey orders". Then the therapist smiled.

Serious child abuse or bruises from home is not taken seriously at the Excel location. The child is told not to report abuse at home to child protective services. They certainly wont at this center. They dont want kids removed from this paid for program.
