A New Awakening -Albuquerque

The counselor here AJ is an amazing counselor. I have grown so much from our 1 on 1 sessions, but the group counselor Tony is petty and antagonistic. He talks over people, seems to be on drugs himself, constantly brags, and called threatening to have me arrested because "my threatening violent behavior." I am court ordered to go here. Instead of de escalating the situation, which is what I'm doing he repeatedly attempted to push buttons, and when he couldn't get a ride out of me kicked me out of the program. I have had no issues since being released from prison, and I'm not a threat to anybody. I was agitated and don't feel safe sharing in that group why and when he pushed an issue it solidified my instincts to not share with them what's going on with me. Tony constantly says he is in demand because of his qualifications, and the company cannot afford to lose him. Now I'm having to go elsewhere to get court ordered counseling when I'm 9 sessions away from completion because of his ego. Don't trust this guy with personal information he will use it against you, and try to screw you over. He called me on his personal phone and said "if you ever show your face here again I'm going to have you arrested for trespassing and assault on a health care worker."

Rude front desk staff on 7/31/25. She was to busy having conversation with someone lounging in there. Was very rude and dismissive. It is also inconsistent and does not provide good direction.

This place is so inconsistent. They claim to do UA's every day but people are constantly calling in so they DON'T do them every day like they claim. I don't even know why the pre-trial services use this place when they are so inconsistent with doing UA's.
