Not sure why all the negativity. My experience at this location has always gone well. The Dr. is very kind, professional, and respectful.
When I first started going here I had the best therapist ever his name was Matthew & I had the best life skills specialist she was the best I ever had. Now that Im still here Ive been having some trouble with my therapist and my life skills specialist. My new therapists name is Katie ulmer. And my new life skills specialist name is Emily Truelove. I dont recommend this place for ANYONE & I mean ANYONE

I went to see a therapist for family counseling here. My girlfriend and I were having issues in our relationship and decided to go to figure out how to deal with my daughter after the breakup. My girlfriend had decided in case we werent going to work out it would be a good idea.We went and saw Lydia. While I agree with what she said about handling my daughter and being consistent I think she was way out of line with everything else.She took it upon her self to attack me personally and was very very rude and snobby. At one point I actually had to tell her she shouldnt be talking to me the way she was. We werent there to talk about our relationship and she constantly mentioned it and told us it was over. She had no clue what the situation was. I asked her questions so I knew how to handle things in the future with this relationship or any other and she continuously acted like I was trying to prove a point and was treating me like a piece of garbage.I have never felt so disrespected by anyone in my life. Not knowing that my girlfriend at the time has PTSD and anxiety issues and feels trapped easily she assumed that her body language meant that she was done with the relationship. She assumed we were fighting and screaming at each other which isnt the case. She made many assumptions about our relationship and continuously tried to enforce the fact it was over. That was not why we were there. This was not her place to say that. We were there to learn how to make things work for our daughter. She even went as far to tell us that we cant be friends and hang out with my daughter together.She also made it a point to tell my girlfriend that she had no legal right to my daughter. And she made sure to tell my girlfriend she can evict us if she wants. This was not something that needed to be discussed. We were there trying to get help with my daughters transition.So now I have to deal with the consequences of her words. I actually just woke up having nightmares about todays meeting. I have severe anxiety myself and she didnt even read the charts. I was ready to cry in the meeting. I basically went here to be humiliated and cut down by this person that is supposed to be doing right by us.I would not recommend this place. Ill never go here again.
I can not get ahold of anyone to cancel an appointment. This place is very hard to deal with. They’ve sent our son here for help and NO ONE seems to help at all. He is currently in the hospital for attempted suicide. This place is a circus.
WORST PLACE EVER. I’ve been trying to get treatment for A YEAR, everytime I make an appointment they call me the day of the appointment to reschedule. It’s very upsetting being constantly pushed back and they don’t give a single care.
Horrible experience. NOT LGBTQ+ SUPPORTIVE. Theyre inconsistent and push for more appointments and more treatment even if it isnt working. They called the police on me twice without reason, and wouldve provide an explanation or an apology. Even the cops were confused.
Horrible experience, I was checked in to see a psychiatrist, he basically just sat there typing all my info in, absolutely no conversation and basically seemed like he didnt care to get to know me or anything about me. but didnt bother to tell me if I really needed to be put on anti-depressants or not, but proceeds to prescribe me effexor which I had a horrible reaction to that I ended up being in the ER because it made me feel like a crack head. I was so upset because I have a child to tend to and I was not functionable. Because of this experience I will try my best not to try an anti depressant ever again, he never bothered to explain to me what to expect. I get medication acts differently with others but who wants to take medication that causes unwanted side affects, I came there to get better not to feel worse and put my self through more hell... it took damn near a week for 1 dose to wear off... absolutely ridiculous!
I was a client at Cummins Behavioral Health for over a year; I had such a bad experience that I am posting this review in a few places as a warning to others. While I was there they never completed any treatment plan we started. We would start going through one, go a few weeks then stop without telling me. The sessions would go from structured to loose in two or three weeks, then when Id ask if we were making progress theyd say that I trailed off, blaming me for the disorganization. Their solution for every problem I had was to get more treatment, at one point they had me seeing six different specialists for an average of **seven** appointments per week.Therapist twice weekly, recovery specialist twice weekly, life skills specialist twice weekly, employment specialist weekly, nurse every other week, psychiatrist every month. Again, despite all of this, making ZERO progress. It took me entirely too long to realize all of this treatment was actually making me worse.They kept insisting I needed it and I trusted them, worse I believed them. Many of these appointments took hours each, they occupied all of my time and energy leaving nothing left for me to spend actually improving my life.Not all of it was bad. The psychiatrist was very good and one of the life skills specialists was helpful, they were both interested in understanding my perspective and me find solutions. Unfortunately they both transferred. Before the LSS transferred, she was good enough to take a crisis call from the they day I found out my recent boyfriend had killed himself. The next day I had an appointment with an employment specialist who, amid me telling her I found out how hed overdosed, she told me one of the problems with me making progress is that my life is full of small fires that we spend too much time putting out. Many of these people were the height of insensitivity and blamed me for it.One therapist was talking to me about listing positive things and I told her that coping skill didnt work for me, she *raised her voice* and asked me if I was unwilling to try new things and if I just didnt want to get better. This was withing ten minutes of meeting her, she had a short fuse and somehow that was my fault. After I explained to her that I tried that with an lss at Cummins, she continued to reprimand me and said well they arent therapists and arent qualified to teach you that.This is all very long winded, and still does not go into how many times they unnecessarily called the police to my house (when they knew I wasnt home), last minute cancelled appointments, the times they contradicted me to my face or the times lied and gossiped. This place is petty, unprofessional and unethical. Since leaving their treatment in December my recovery has increased exponentially. I am seeing a private psychologist twice a month, and my noticeable improvement further shows that the treatment at Cummins was not only preventing my progress but actually making me worse.
From my personal experience here, I will tell Ive seen this psychiatrist their dr. Mannan I dont know her but Ive only seen her once and she seemed okay with me shes very rush rush but whatever but she re diagnosed me because in the past Ive been labeled a lot.I see a therapist here at first she was cool, something happened and the agenda has changed into something that I dont like. She has diagnosed me as something that I dont agree with and I will never tell anybody else that I am diagnosed with that because I dont believe it if I have a fear of Abandonment I wouldnt be leaving this place. Its like a set up. All in all I would not recommend this person. I dont know about any other therapists but I think its just mental health Ive had very bad experiences where they really dont care they can say day and night until theyre blue in the face that they really care but I dont see it.Maybe somebody else will.I see a job coach Ive been through two of them already the third one is the charm.I have a nutritionist have been seen her too long but she is a very nice girl.Life skills training coach whatever shes very nice I would recommend her shes probably the most chill last person here the rest are very uptight if you dont believe the way they do they want you to be normal but theres no such thing as normal if youre not on their agenda you will change or you will leave I choose to leaveIt depends who you get here you might like them you might not Im a very hard person to understand and they believe the way they do about me which I disagree is just a disagreement though they would disagree LOL because they have the degree and I dont like Ive never studied it makes me think theyre egotistical.
They are insurance snobs. All they want is you (and your insurances) money. They DO NOT care about helping people.
