Lindner Center of HOPE
As a psychiatrist/psychoanalyst who has worked in the best of similar settings for several decades, I can say Dr Franklin and his team have a stellar program. It is a period when there is an abundance of such programs but unfortunately, few places who deserve to be qualified as superb. This is a young and top-notch program .Thank you Dr Franklin and team.

The Menninger Clinic
I have known a couple of the clinicians at this practice for many years. The services they are providing are a unique and essential component of care, as the integration of intensive psychotherapy into psychiatric treatment is a critical element to facilitate healing. Their psychiatric providers are very skilled and well-suited to treat a wide range of conditions – the optimal ratio of doctors to patients at the practice also allows for highly personalized care.
-Christopher Miller
MindWork Group runs a truly exceptional program. They provide the kind of care and healing that is no longer available in the hospital systems. Doctors run groups and are involved in the day to day programs in addition to their one on one sessions with patients. I can't say enough about what they do here.

Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior,
Brown University
MindWork is one of the highest quality treatment programs in the country. Their staff has a level of experience and sophistication that other centers lack. They offer individualized, high quality psychotherapy and medication treatment for all. As a psychiatrist who treats complex patients, they are a place that I trust completely.

Tom Franklin, M.D. and Marina Nikhinson, M.D. are unusual in today’s mental health environment. They are psychiatrists with in-depth knowledge in biomedical diagnosis and treatment AND seasoned psychotherapists with extensive experience working in a psychodynamic frame with patients who struggle with complex issues. Tom and Marina practiced this craft with immersive dedication for over a decade in the trenches on the Retreat at Sheppard Pratt. They know how to approach complex depressive disorders, crippling anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, personality disorders, bipolar disorder in all its disguises, and other combinations of psychiatric problems that don’t respond to typical outpatient treatment.

I am a 64 year old wife, mother and grandmother who suffered from high anxiety and depression. In addition to the obvious benefit of substantially more time in a therapeutic environment, the IOP offered other advantages. Over the course of the four weeks, I was able to engage in
sessions with multiple therapists each of whom had a unique specialty and viewpoints. These sessions helped me to understand “how” the mind develops.
Each day, we had more “free
form” group discussions (under the guidance of a therapist.) These candid discussions helped me develop interpersonal skills and also enhanced my level of empathy. And lastly by
combining talk therapy with yoga, art therapy, and family counseling the program delivered a wholistic approach. I truly believe that the IOP accelerated my on-going recovery.

Some of the most experienced and thoughtful clinicians I've come across with deep expertise in delivering complex psychiatric care.
-Lindsay Dow, MD,
Massachusetts General Hospital
The program and related support from the Mind Work Group encouraged me to re-engage in routine life activities and provided me with a great sense of accomplishment. In addition to the daily group sessions where we openly discussed group members' issues and challenges, I received individual guidance and advice from Dr. Franklin and his team whenever I needed it. This was critical to my progress and improvement over time. (After leaving MindWork Group), I have successfully engaged in productive employment, become physically active and developed skills to have a more positive outlook on life.

-Sarah Quaratella, MD,
Adult Outpatient Psychiatrist
Navigating a loved one's mental health crisis is one of the most stressful experiences one can endure. Under normal circumstances, finding the right healthcare provider is challenging enough. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have discovered the MindWork Group. Their staff possesses a rare mix of expertise and exceptional communication skills, which transformed an overwhelming situation into something far more manageable. Their patience and guidance throughout the entire process were greatly appreciated. If you are seeking compassionate and competent care, look no further.
-Eric Norris, MD
I have experience working with MindWork Group since they opened, and I can say without hesitation they offer an incredible program for those in need of mental health services throughout Baltimore and the surrounding areas. Their team is hands-on, sophisticated, experienced, and compassionate. The feedback I've received from their clients is always positive and I am regularly impressed with the comprehensive and robust care their program provides.
