      Wow Im glad I saw these reviews. It sounded like.a scam when I called, and then I found out they dont take my insurance anyway. If they wont accept Highmark Freedom Blue they should say so in all web and advertisements. Id steer clear

      This is literally the worst company I have ever been exposed to. Go somewhere else, anywhere else. I set up a therapist appointment and actually found a great therapist. I had 74 appointments scheduled and was very happy with my care. The company is horrible, but this particular therapist was great. I then did an intake to get an antidepressant. The person who did the intake required me to do a different program. It was going to cost at least $1,000 out of pocket, and I only ha ve $25 copays. So that is an absurd amount of copays. I told them I could not afford that and just wanted to stick with my therapist and get medication elsewhere. They canceled all appointments with my therapist. Thank god I am not suicidal, schizophrenic, or have some other serious issue. Can you imagine them taking away a therapist from someone who needs therapy to make it through the day? This company should not be working with a vulnerable population. My degree is in neuroscience. I have learned about the various things people go through. They need appropriate care. I am shocked by how this company runs their practice.

      Our clinicians are highly trained to spot a need for a higher level of care. If a clinician recommends a higher level of care or intensive outpatient program, this is for the safety of the client as their clinical needs are outside of what we can address at the outpatient level. Self-harming and risky behaviors indicate an immediate need for a higher level of care. Our company works with every client recommended for a higher level of care, providing referrals and recommendations on the next steps. But once its identified that the patient needs a level of service outside of what is offered in general out patient services, we are unable to continue care at the ** level. This is standard practice for most behavioral health clinics. Patient can get frustrated at this at times, but we do this to stay compliant with laws and regulations.

      I sent them a message asking if they offered couples counseling. The response I got did not include an answer to my question but tried to book an appointment (on 9/13). Later on 9/13 I received 2 calls/ voicemails and a second email trying to schedule an appointment. I decided against this provider and communicated that to them via email on 9/14. 10/4 they called and left another voicemail; I emailed them again asking why I was still getting phone calls and to stop contacting me. At that point I blocked the number they kept calling from (end in ****) so I have no idea how many times they've tried calling, but they haven't been leaving voicemails. 10/20 I get another email trying to book an appointment. Not that it'll make a difference but I'll be posting this on every review site I can find; this is unprofessional and unacceptable.

      This place is a scam and robs people of their money by charging their card continuously without authorization. Do not go here. I was going to appointments for a year, and they constantly told me I had no outstanding bills. I stopped going, and then all of a sudden I am being hit with a bill every month. I made a single payment, and did not agree for auto-payments and now they are continuously trying to charge my credit card every other day at different large amounts without my authorization, and they keep sending me letters where the amount due differs significantly on each one, so I cant even tell what is due. Their phone number for billing does not work and no one ever calls back.

      DO NOT GET PREGNANT while using psychiatric services here, you'll be sent into a full blown withdrawal. I've been extremely sick the past 5 days after my medication dosage was slashed in half because I found out I'm pregnant. I've spoken with my primary care doctor, my OBGYN, the *********** doctor that I had to see 2 days ago due to being so ill, and *************** who all have stated the way I was tapered was completely wrong and the pros vs cons should have been weighed with me. Harmony Bay washed their hands for liability reasons without going over any of these side effects from drastically reducing my dosage. I have been violently vomitting **** times per day for hours at a time and experiencing such bad vertigo it was impossible for me to stand. I had to take several days off of work now to combat these symptoms. According to my other doctors, I shoud not have had to go through this, ESPECIALLY now that I'm pregnant. Such a shame I ************** husband and family to this place just to be treated as a liability and more harm has now been done than good.

      They don't respond to calls from pharmacies and they do not take live calls if there are issues with your prescriptions. So now I currently wait for my withdraw symptoms to come on. There is literally NO way to fix problems there. I've also had several issues with billing and asked for my credit card to be changed and it hasn't, also asked for it to be removed from the file and it hasn't. They are combining different days charges so it's basically impossible to get FSA to reimburse because the receipts don't match the statements or the **** Avoid at all costs.

      Literal thieves. Taking money from those who are struggling with mental health. Called over 24 hours before to reschedule my appointment due to my daughter being rushed to the hospital, recording says to select an option for a call back and save your place in line. They never called back. So I called back at 4 pm which is 24 hours prior to my scheduled appointment. Explained to the lady what was going on and she still said I would be charged. I dont even want to use this business anymore. Such a shame! Not in the correct business to not have a heart.

      Wrote asking to work with a specific provider I found online and was informed that patients do not choose practitioners, they are scheduled an appointment with an intake nurse who then assigns them to a provider. As I was working to establish care in a new state I went with HB in hopes of being able to work with my provider of choice due to the fact that this specific provider uses EMDR. During my virtual intake the nurse practitioner was late and hadnt read any of the information Id provided in their lengthy intake packet on their Customer Portal (CP.) The nurse asked the same questions regarding treatment, diagnoses, and medications. The intake nurse said they would assign me to a provider who they felt would be a good fit based on a single aspect of our exchange. I asked about the provider Id hoped to see. They said theyd never heard of the provider and that as far as they knew, there were only two providers who practice this technique. The nurse assigned me to a provider at the other end of the state and didnt inform me of this. Two days later I met with the provider online and they also asked the same questions, etc. and again - didn't inform me of their location until the END of the appointment. They said I can schedule you to come into my office for your initial appt. Or I can update your chart with the notes of what we talked about today - which do you want me to do? I asked her to make notes in my chart so I had time to think about itshe spoke very fast and I had to ask her to repeat herself multiple timesand instead, I received a letter stating that Id been discharged and that they were billing my insurance for ***** and 1,300/max allowed for evaluation and medication management. They outsource their customer-facing depts. and as a result its been a nightmare to actually talk to a human since they do not have a way to contact/message anyone directly through their CP. Ultimately services were rendered, so I have no recourse.

      2 telecom appointments with this organization. Initial for $150. and second for $300, as agreed on intake. In the interim I have received statements for $1000, $1300 and $200. My credit card on file was charged $100--disputed. The Billing Questions contact phone # is "no longer available".BEWARE!

      Their scheduling system allows you to schedule with providers who aren't available. They have a med line that allows you to leave a message but never receive a call back. At least one "answering machine" option is a dead line and goes absolutely no where. They routinely bounce you around from one desk to another leading me to believe their services aren't all in house but are outsourced to several places, none of which are talking to each other. Getting a medication refill difficult enough that I fear someone more unstable would actually end up dead before they received any help. They sent an email to all their clients saying that they were expanding staff to help resolve issues, but I'm running as far and as fast I can from this office once I have my patient files in hand. This place is mismanaged to a dangerously negligent degree.
