Crossroads Family Therapy was referred to me by a friend of a friend. I was desperate to find help and understanding for my adult son. Covid lockdown had just begun his wife and he separated so he moved in with me and his father and I watched in horror as my intelligent talented wonderful son crumbled under the pressure of the divorce, custody problems, and the lockdown.
Although he had been managing his own medical needs throughout his adult life, his mental health crisis took all of us by surprise. I didn’t know what it was, but something was very wrong. I spent the better part of two years, begging, doctors therapists, and others who claim to understand mental health issues for help.
Multiple psychiatrists misdiagnosed him.
When I found Karen Allen and told her our story, she was the first person in two years that actually understood what was happening and could explain to us what was happening. Through her guidance, empathy and knowledge she has him back to normalcy. When continues to be a resource for his stability.
We went from hospitalizations, misdiagnoses, wrong medication, etc., to a fully functional productive person once again.
I highly recommend Crossroads Family Therapy, especially if you or your loved one might have bipolar.
Karen was the one who reminded me that my son suffered from a disease called bipolar one not that he is bipolar.
Having bipolar does not have to define your life.
My son is still who he always was and with great care, support and excellent medications today lives a normal life. And is it that what we all want after
