Testimonials

Devora Follman is my single, go-to resource whenever I want help considering a residential treatment stay or intensive program for one of my patients. She not only finds the appropriate program or facility; she facilitates the admission process, shepherds the patient and family through the process, and makes sure that there is coordination and continuity of care in place after discharge back to the outpatient setting. I highly recommend Informed Behavioral Health.

Thank you so much for all the work you’ve put in. I finally felt confident that we had someone helping us find the right program for Sarah. It felt like there was a team leader and it wasn’t just me feeling around in the dark. The service you offer is invaluable.

This past year was a challenging one, to say the least. But God didn’t let us down, he sent us angels to hold our hands and guide us step by step. You were one of those incredibly kind angels. We are forever grateful to you for helping us save our son!

Thank you for your recommendations. More importantly, your heart. I felt it. I just want to let you know that I am 3 months sober and back at home with my wife.

Knowledgeable, compassionate, professional, trustworthy, efficient and mindful of each patient's unique and individual needs. It was and is a pleasure to work with Mrs. Follman and I turn to her whenever I have placement needs for my patients.

Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry - Weill Cornell Medicine

I’ve been working with Devora Follman for many years. I don’t make any recommendations to patients about intensive treatment or residential treatment programs without having them and their families consult with Devora first. She has a depth of knowledge about the specific characteristics of available programs that allows her to narrowly tailor her recommendations to each specific case’s needs. And her guidance doesn’t end there, she facilitates the admission process, follows the case through their stay and then helps smooth the transition process back into the community. I would not be able to help with some of my most complex cases without Devorah’s help and guidance. I highly recommend Informed Behavioral Health to all clinicians and families.

Back in August our therapist gave us your name and set in motion the most miraculous journey for our son. Now, fast forward 14 months later we get to all go as a family next week and be present while he graduates the program. There really are no words for what I am feeling. We just had the perfect storm that you were there at the right moment and our son agreed to go and stay! There are no coincidences. It’s all extraordinary. Guiding us and then helping us navigate is a gift that we are so grateful for. Devora, you are our champion! Thank you Thank you Thank you.
