If I could assign negative stars, I would. My experience with Dr. Camillo during my second stay at Ivy Ridge at age 16 was not only profoundly distressing, but it also literally changed the trajectory of the rest of my life (although I will not go into detail, because it would take an entire book to write what he did to me and the damage it has caused).
Upon my arrival, Dr. Camillo conducted an initial evaluation. During our session, he incorrectly stated that I was adopted. I clarified that I was not, but he insisted, saying, "Well, I suggest you have a conversation with your parents, because I'm reading your file here and it says you were adopted." This assertion was not only false but also deeply upsetting. At the conclusion of our session, Dr. Camillo documented his findings and sent a letter to my parents. The letter contained several concerning statements: "Stephanie was superficially pleasant, engageable, and had good eye contact. Psychomotor activity within normal limits. Thoughts coherent and no overt psychosis. Attention fair-good. All memory intact." Despite these observations indicating no severe psychological issues, he diagnosed me with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and cannabis abuse, and prescribed a 5 mg dose of Abilify (aripiprazole), an atypical antipsychotic. Although I had never taken any medications before then, not even a Tylenol, I was put on a high dose of Abilify, an atypical antipsychotic. I know someone with Borderline 1 who at 37 years old takes 2 mg of Abilify to control her mania (in fact, Abilify is reserved for teenagers only when they have certain diagnoses, such as bipolar or schizophrenia. It is not OK that Dr. misdiagnosed me and inappropriately medicated me for that misdiagnosis). Upon reviewing the letter he sent my parents for the first time last year, I was shocked to find that I had been misdiagnosed. This raises serious concerns about the appropriateness of the prescription. Upon taking the medication, which I was forced to do and no one would tell m what it was called, I got so severely depressed, I felt suicidal. I had blackouts, felt overly-sedated and sluggish all the time (but still had to do the boot camp drills of sprinting, pushups, etc. for 2 hours every day). I also felt dizzy, anxious, irritable, and I began having tremors. I also became agitated quite a few times, something that was unusual for me up until then. Interestingly, Dr. Camillo overlooked my ADHD symptoms, my severe anxiety, and my account of nightmares and flashbacks that I had told him about; Of course, now my PTSD symptoms are so much more severe. Thanks to this doctor, it's debilitating). When I complained to staff almost every day that was something was really not OK with the way I felt, they said I was lying and trying to "manipulate" them (a word often tossed around in the Program. Another thing, I had never smoked cannabis before attending Ivy Ridge. The diagnosis of cannabis abuse was therefore unfounded and misleading. In the years following, I consulted with two psychiatrists who both concluded that I do not have a personality disorder. This further underscores the inaccuracy of Dr. Camillo's initial assessment.
The actions of Dr. Camillo- providing a false adoption claim, issuing an incorrect diagnosis, and prescribing an inappropriate medication- were not only unethical but also caused extremely harmful consequences for me with lasting effects to this day. I share this account not to seek sympathy but in the hopes that no one else will endure the confusion and distress caused by such unprofessional, unethical misconduct. Last thing, Dr. Camillo saw experienced, heard about, and was fully aware of the abuse going on within Ivy Ridge's walls, and as a mandated reporter he did nothing about it.

I was a student at the Academy at Ivy Ridge. I would not recommend anyone see any of the providers who ignored their oath to first do no harm. We were being psychologically tortured and he stood by. All of them did.
