We have been with AFG since they opened. They are the only group that offered all of the services my kids needed in one organization. Before I found AFG, I struggled to find the right services for my two kids, each with very different mental health needs. I could barely work because I spent so much time taking them to different practices for different therapy sessions, often discovering that the therapy was inadequate. It was to keep track of the crazy billing from multiple providers and submitting to Blue Cross Blue Shield to obtain reimbursement since none of them worked with insurance companies! AFG provided all of the services we needed in one stop - evaluation, neuropsychiatry, medication management, therapy for Autism, ADHD, Executive Functioning, Socialization, Anxiety, Preparation for College Transitions and they accept Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance! Fast forward to today ... both kids are attending competitive colleges, working part-time jobs, and moving forward! I am forever grateful to the AFG team!
