About Ackerman Institute for the Family

At the Ackerman Institute Clinic, trained therapists help families from all ethnic, economic and religious backgrounds. We serve both heterosexual and same sex headed families and couples. Family therapy is a way of understanding and treating emotional problems and personal crises by working with the entire family rather than the individual. Therapy sessions focus on understanding individuals’ thoughts, feelings and behavior within the context of their families. The goal is to harness and strengthen family resources, and help family members work collaboratively towards solutions to their problems. Therapy is provided by mental health professionals on the Ackerman faculty and by therapists in Ackerman’s postgraduate training program. Our therapists are people of diverse racial, ethnic, cultural, sexual orientations, and gender identities.

Beaming Review

They don't answer calls and are a money organization with no interest in anything other than that. Check out this email I got from their "Intake Team." We all deserve better than this! The worst part is calling yourself "for the family" when you are this type of trash (also incompetent as you can see from the email). Dear Elvira, Thank you for reaching out. We want to clarify that you are not currently on the waitlist to receive services at the Ackerman Institute. Additionally, it appears that you did not complete the full Intake process. You participated in an initial screening to assess whether our clinic would be a good fit for your therapy needs, and then informed us that you had decided to pursue care elsewhere. At this time, we are referring you to a provider who can offer the level of urgent care you are seeking, which unfortunately is beyond the scope of what we can provide here at Ackerman. Best regards, Intake Team
