Reviews of Community Psychiatric Clinic - Lake City (Psychiatrist)

Dale Simmons

Mike Kelley Tina Marie AMSLER - Simmons Just wanted to check in regards to A PRESENTING CONDITION THAT MAY NEED EXPLAINING. REALIZE 2006 was the last time I saw you in your Stone Way office the likes of people we discuss don't seem to understand HIPPA At a 2016 visit in Auburn Wa ER they found it amusing to do an internal pelvic ultrasound without what they call a sleeve on it. Trying To convince the STERILE PROCEDURES THEY USE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENT TO KEEP ANY DISEASE EXPOSURE FROM CONTAMINATING NOT ONLY THE WORK WE WERE SEEING THRU BUT OTHERS WHO VISIT THIS FACILITY. I am once again here at Auburn Wa ER with a laceration I'll keep you and your work in positive thoughts. Always Tina

Wonderful mental health service center that doesn't feel institutional like many agencies in this field.

Worst experience possible. If I could give it no stars I would. Was told I was an alcoholic and an addict when I barely drink and no proof of any drug use. They assumed, because my occupation as a bartender that I must be an addict. My counselor was condicending and rude. Don't be fooled by these guys. All they want is bodies in their classes. That's how non profits like this work. They need people to get funding. They'll make up reasons for you to be in their treatment program that are false. I got a second assessment at another facility. Received a correct assessment. Used the second assessment in court. Didn't use theirs. Finished with the court AND THEIR STILL CALLING ME AND MY FORMER PROBATION OFFICER! 6 months later! David Newman and his staff are bordering on harassment. They're shisters. They'll lie. They'll harass you if you don't use their services. DO NOT GO HERE AT ALL! WORST DECISION I MADE GOING THRU THIS PROCESS WAS COMING HERE!

I love them and trust them and won't go anywhere else for physical or mental care.

This is a good clinic to go to.

Do not even consider going here for one second. The intake specialist, Kristen, forced unwanted treatments when I made the course of treatment I wanted clear. She also attempted to diagnose me although she only has a counseling certificate (Only psychiatric nurses and psychiatrists can, and in some cases therapists). Even if you have to wait longer, see someone else. Avoid this place at all costs. FYI Most of the 5 star reviews are fake, check the accounts.

A very helpful place for all psychological issues and also economical with efficient doctors at your service.

Other reviewers are dead on. I have a shrink/prescriber who is only obligated to see me for 10 minutes, and an unqualified, inexperienced (in life) counselor who I see for 30-40 minutes. I am supposed to be assisted with obtaining housing, and achieving goals, also being treated for mental illness. My counselor flat out denied my choice to switch psych/prescriber when I was met with cold, distant, minimal rapport or understand, and also what seems like an arbitrary and dangerous complete medication/prescription overhaul and replacement. My counselor is a dick, who has not assisted with and actually attempted to sabotage housing and social programs I managed to obtain the chance for. Constantly negative, insulting, passive-aggresive, pessimistic and offensive, as well as having no life experience with substance/alcohol issues, he is hardly ideal. Worse is, I find out he sneaks potentially damaging remarks and wildly bizarre and offensive interpretations of our conversations. I had to pretend that I required a female shrink/prescriber for personal reasons to be effective, in order to get this guy to allow me to simply switch. What I found, was an even colder, cruel, inattentive, argumentative, insulting, offensive, abusive and pointless replacement. I may be able to speak for a few minutes a session, and leave with some random, minor adjustment to my medication. The height of her absurdity was when I landed a 1/1,000,000 shot at permanent housing at my first choice of location. My regular MD and addiction medicine specialist had signed a comprehensive letter to admit my established, trained service dog, who is a regular at the CPC office. Unfortunately, SHA required this be filled and signed on their very simple form in their format. My MD was on vacation until just after the deadline. My only hope was for my CPC shrink/prescriber to sign this form. Not only have I been seeing her for a long time, but she is well aware of the dog's training and status, and sees him every visit. Now, this woman for no reason I can fathom, nor could she explain, refused to sign this form. This was in spite of her duty to help me progress and heal, and knowing that hey refusal to sign could potentially leave me homeless and helpless at some point, with the next likely similar opportunity available in 6 years. The only reason could be indifference and cruelty, period. She nearly ruined my life, but I was Blessed with an extension. My wonderful MD saved the day. I am stuck at CPC via technicality. I come to every appointment with a sense of dread and anxiety, and leave more deluded and depressed, as they meddle with my sanity and hope, and I seriously leave every appointment in worse shape than when I came. I have had a different relative sit in a meeting with each burdensome CPC employee, going into the meetings expecting I was exaggerating and problematic, but my relatives left completely critical of them, and considered each of them bad at, and indifferent if not averse to their positions at CPC. They have done so much more harm than good, and I can't wait until I can get the hell away. I was glad to see that I'm not the only one who feels like I do about this organization. They are all about statistics, not patients. I consider them potentially very detrimental, they have nearly driven me back to substance use and inflated suicidal feelings. My counselor admits to having lost a patient to a murder suicide. I am far from surprised. The formula is ridiculous: 10 interrupted minutes of trying to explain your issues to a shrink that hates you, followed by an uneducated and arbitrary adjustment to your medication, and "talk about your symptoms with your counselor". Your counselor is not educated in the area of mental illness, and has no experience with substance issues. STAY AWAY. I will say they also have group sessions and a men's group which were actually alright, the latter being the better, but the core CPC formula and values are trash

This office is where you'll find Administrative. I have been dealing with CPC for a number of years. I highly recommend you go elsewhere if at all possible. My experience here has been frustrating for years.
