Do not go here. The owner, Soo, comes across as more business-focused than client-focused. I did not experience the level of support or professionalism I expected. There was also a woman with white hair who acted like she knew everything and dismissed concerns rather than listening. The attitude felt more ego-driven than collaborative. I met a few of the therapists, and there was an overall vibe that they believed they were the only competent providers in the area. It felt insular and lacking humility. Ironically, the students working there seemed more compassionate, open, and willing to actually listen. Overall, I left feeling unheard and disappointed. I would not recommend this place if you're looking for a supportive, client-centered environment. read more

When I first started with Harmony, the Psychiatrist I was seeing was great. She was very thorough, even prescribed an EKG before I started with medication. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, she left the practice. The "Professional" that took her place was anything but. After a while, it became clear that his sole purpose was to prescribe Rx and could not give a fiddler's f@ck for my well being. Harmony gets one star for their Admin staff, they're terrific. read more

I really like my therapist Griff here- he really gets to the root of issues and actually addresses them. Love it.

Harmony is better and worse than the public mental health system. Because of my insurance, I only have the choice of Harmony and public. I did public care for 12 years and it was actually pretty great -- $10 dollars for an appointment, discounted meds, and energetic doctors. The downside was doctor turnover and if I needed help after hours, I was SOL. The secret of Harmony is you have to find the right doctor. I tried one doctor and I can't even describe how bad it was. Long waits, indifferent care. I confronted him and he did even care. I switched doctors and it's good now. No wait and we have a therapeutic relationship. Harmony isn't a place that offers 24/7 call service or support. That's a huge problem because it's better to avert a crisis than to go to the ER. But public health centers don't offer crisis support either. Harmony is substandard care. But sadly, for people who don't have premium insurance or trust funds, that's pretty much all we can get. Good luck in getting the care you deserve. The care we all deserve. read more

My husband and I have been dealing with the incompetency at HMHS for months and months and months. Before we got married he had really terrible insurance, and this was the only place in the city that would take his provider. He asked NUMEROUS times if they accepted his insurance and if his visits would be covered. He did this because of the fact that other businesses told him that it was bad insurance and they didn't take it. Obviously he went OUT OF HIS WAY to confirm this. Anyway, he goes in for his appointment, asks again if it'll be covered, is told that it will be, and then gets a bill. He called many times to follow up on why he was receiving a bill, and no one was helpful. Finally he spoke with the "business manager" (a guy) and was told that the charge was wiped from his account and all was well. Earlier this week he goes in for an appointment and is told that they have a new policy that you can't be seen if you have any sort of balance on your account, and don't you know that the balance that we were told was taken care of was STILL THERE. So, what is he to do? He needs an RX refilled, so he has no choice but to pay the bill and dispute it later. To add insult to injury - his appointment was for 12:45 and he wasn't seen until 1:30. Isn't it ironic that the people that are supposed to be HELPING with your mental health are actually the inducers of so much stress? I'd advise against this place. read more

Absolutely no respect for you or your time. The staff doesn't even smile at you when you walk up to the window. They barely have a pulse. Making an appointment is easy but it should be.. The waiting room is dated and too small for the amount of people they see/book. Makes you feel worse then you already do. Doesn't matter what your appointment time is, they take you 15-50 minutes after that appointment time. Makes you feel even WORSE than you already are feeling!! Therapist, woman was nice, second appt asked questions that i answered in our first meeting, same went for the third. She was kind. Psychiatrist, seemed nice but never felt like he wanted to give me the time of day. Basically kicks you out Overall low level of care because it seems that it is a revolving door of patients. Quantity over quality. You leave feeling cheated angry and confused read more

I understand why people give this place 1 star. And for a long time I agreed. However, I think that the providers that caused the trouble are gone. I know one retired and another quit. Since then, the waiting room has been a much more pleasant experience. I highly recommend Karen Glick. read more

My therapist was always filing her nails during each of my sessions. Very unprofessional. I went here only because my insurance at the time covered therapy sessions here. read more

I went here because I've been having anxiety and feeling a little depressed since my mom passed. They have evening appointments available and my insurance would cover it after the deductible, so it was convenient for me. I first met with a therapist to go over how I had been feeling. She was alright- We just went over my life although I did feel like she asked some of the same questions twice. She recommended I see the psychiatrist, which I decided to do. The psychiatrist is what broke the camels back for me. Immediately I felt uncomfortable- he started badgering/scolding me for my drinking habits (I get drunk maybe once a week and never do anything reckless). I felt like he was judging me the whole time, no matter what I said and was really pushing for me to take meds even though I was cautious about this. He at some point said I was in denial (why would I deny being depressed my mom died?) and prescribed me with a daily anti depressant. I really felt like I could have told him whatever I wanted and he would have prescribed me with that. When he was filling out the prescription he went as far as to ask if I slept ok, like he was going to give me something for that too. My insurance doesn't kick in until a $500 deductible so I had forked over $165 for a half hour with this man. Needless to say I did not fill the prescription and will be seeking help elsewhere. But if you're looking for a quick pill fix, this is the place for you. read more

As person, very familiar with the Medical and Behavioral Health industry. From a parent's perspective as as currently WORKING in the industry. I HIGHLY suggest that you do not become a patient here or send a loved one here. Very disorganized; give(s) you erroneous information/misinformation and/or does not follow-up based on instructions and then tries to shift the blame on you. Not a good agency for mental health/behavioral health care. read more

READ ME: Please heed the warning of the other reviewers and take your healthcare seriously. There are so many better places to receive care. The only reason you can get an appointment quickly is because of their egregious incompetency regarding mental health services. The social worker I met with (because they MADE ME) suggested I just "try to feel better". There was no reason for me to see this person besides this facility grasping at straws for a few more dollars. The psychiatrist whose name I believe is Dr. Frankel was highly inappropriate, asking personal questions about my sexual history that were absolutely unnecessary. In an extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional way. When I told him I was not okay with these questions and how they were being asked, he continued to probe the subject and told me to just "calm down". I'm a grown woman and a survivor of sexual assault - I know I can handle myself in situations like these and I understand what is appropriate behavior and what is not. My heart sinks and mind races when I think he potentially has teens and younger women as patients. I have no doubts in my mind that this is regular behavior from him. Do not under any circumstances go to Dr. Frankel. He is a terrible psychiatrist with no regards to the safety of his patients. Regardless of his sexual misconduct, he never even asked what medication I was currently taking, have taken, or what my thoughts were on literally any aspect of my own health care. I've gone so far as to look into reporting this facility. Your mental health is so important. Please go to a place that takes mental health seriously. read more

Went years ago. First therapist refused to treat me for a ridiculous opinion and was so rude. Second Female therapist was horrible, practically encouraged negative behaviors and wanted to chat as buddies. Not qualified. This place should be shut down if it's still that way. I wouldn't let my enemy go here! read more

It's literally one of the worst mental health facilities I've ever been. They're ALWAYS LATE for the appointment. Like if your appointment is at 4, you'll be waiting for over 1/2 hour just to get called in to be seen by the therapist. Meaning you're literally only seen maybe 20-30 minutes (I'm actually being generous) and you still have to pay the full hour. RIDICULOUS! Also the psychiatrists over medicate. I was prescribed maybe close to 10 different pills. I even got prescribed 2 different ADHD medications (that's illegal). I looked like a freaking druggie. My current psychiatrist (in LA) even called my former psych from here "an unethical idiot". He basically had to restart my entire treatment bc I was practically a zombie when I met him. Also the office is kind of hard to find, if you don't know where to look. And parking is non existent but it is the east coast so I guess that's normal. My former therapist there (an older woman probs retired) was very racist or at the very least biased towards certain peoples, especially the Latino community. She basically told me (her way of "cheering" me up) that my mom, who's Colombian, was a dumb POS that would never amount to anything because the country she came from. She would even speak ill of her Latin patients, calling them fat and dumb etc. I can't with that. I'm half Colombian and Swiss (I look white) and im extremely proud of my heritage. I also admire the Latin community for being so resilient and hardworking. So hearing her say those awful things about my MOM and other people felt like nails on a chalk board, bile in my throat, acid in my eyes. I hope she retired, because she's incredibly ignorant (despite her looking like a greasy hippie lady) There are some pluses to this place. The location is not bad if you live in center city/university city, it's walking distance from 30th street station. They adopted 2 feral cats that they include in your therapy sessions (literally only reason I came back to this place for years) and shout out to the front desk dudes! They were really nice and soft spoken and tried to help to very best of their ability (which sadly wasn't much). I felt more comfortable with them than I ever did w/my therapist/psychiatrist which is totally so depressing. This place sucks. I'd advise to go somewhere else. Judging by the score They have here I'm not the only one who thinks this place is awful. read more

Therapists are ineffective. Staff is dim but pleasant. Doctors are jerks. Do not recommend.

Went there for my OCD and anxiety issues. The doctor was supposed to see me on the 21st. He canceled my appointment and the incredibly rude receptionist told me (a man by the way) that I had to take whatever was available and they were all daytime appointments. I work in the day and to make this appointment I would have to call out of work. I wouldn't have been able to start my medication therapy without seeing the doctor so I called out of work to make the appointment, losing a day of pay. On my way to the office, the mean receptionist man called me and told me again, that the doctor wasn't coming in and I definitely would have to wait until Feb. 4 and I would, once again, have to call out of my job. Not trusting this a third time and being quite furious at the lack of professionalism I asked if there was a manager I could speak to. He then proceeded to leave me on hold for 15 minutes (probably hoping that I would give up and hang up first). When he came back on, he said the manager wasn't in and he didn't know when he would show up and he didn't' have his own phone line to contact. All in all, I asked for my money back for the initial visit and he said he couldn't do it. It was all a waste of time. I thought that I would be meeting the doctor for an intake on the first visit. I got some woman who made funny sounds with her mouth the whole time I was with her. I had to make another appointment to see the doctor, paying $70 each time I was there and would have to pay $40 if I canceled. The doctor canceled on me twice the same day of my visit and I didn't get paid for the drama and the inconvenience. The worst part of it all is that they are supposed to help people and all they do is take money and screw people over. It isn't easy to admit you have problems that need psychological help and after this encounter I am just at my limit. It took forever to find a place that could help me and they burned me from the word go. It was devastating to me and the receptionist just made it all so much worse with his 'I don't give a shit' attitude. He was actually frustrated with ME!!! I'm going to scream to whoever will listen to not go to this place. They will hurt you more then help, they will embarrass you and make you feel stupid and worse, they'll take your money while doing it. Find another place, TRUST ME! read more

Should be zero stars. This place is a piece of crap, they have low quality providers. They are a medication mill, there is no treatment.

If I could give a lessor rating than I would. I scheduled my son an appointment after taking him to CHOP emergency to get him an mental health evaluation. They diagnosed him with depression and told me to seek therapy to get him back on track. My son is 18 years old a a minority. He was already in distress from a number of things after he left Harmony he was under duress. They paired my 18 year old minority child with a therapist that was between 70-80 old Caucasian lady who was rude, rough around the edges and wouldn't let him complete a sentence. She talked over him, wouldn't let him complete a thought or sentence, and was very rude and harsh. When speaking with me she also was the same way prior to seeing my son. My son left so distraught he had a headache. This was his first therapy session so it was a devastating first experience. I did some research and read reviews and profiles etc to find the amazing therapist he has now and his progress is promising and positive. I paid cash for his session at Harmony and intended to be a cash paying client and was told to find a therapist that takes my insurance as if I would be unable to afford to pay! I wouldn't recommend this establishment based on my experience. I can't speak for all of the therapist there, but it appears they just put you with anyone instead of seeing who suits you. I was extremely disappointed. read more

In an emergency, I started going to Harmony because they could see me soonest. My therapist was completely ineffective. Nice woman, terrible therapist. I have panic disorder and was having job-related panic attacks, and she gave me absolutely no advice on how to deal with them. She only wanted to talk about my family, whom I have no issues with whatsoever. At the same time I began going to Dr. Monheit, one of the psychiatrists for medication. He was cold, uninterested, and clearly just wanted to get me out the door. He was regularly OVER AN HOUR LATE coming into the office for appointments. I stayed because I was desperate and didn't want to disrupt my treatment. However, after I missed an appointment without realizing it (and that's totally my fault) he insisted I leave his office and pay the missed appointment fee before he would see me. I needed a refill, and if I hadn't had the extra money I wouldn't have been able to get my medication. I don't think I have to explain how dangerous that is. The last time I stopped my medication I ended up in the hospital, which is what bought me there in the first place. NO UPSTANDING DOCTOR WOULD DO THIS. Any place is better than this place. read more

Update: I visited HMHS a total of....four times? I think? Each time I was told I didn't owe a copay, wouldn't be billed, etc (I'm lucky to have good insurance). So I was just a little surprised when I got a bill for $195. Couldn't get a coherent explanation from the office and ended up just paying it rather than fighting them and the insurance company. So yeah, downgrading to one star. read more

Service is okay, scheduling calls /reminders is pretty good. I liked my first counselor but they moved . The last counselor is a wonderful person and friendly. I just feel that Tx plan is not in-depth enough for me, looking for a more rigorous therapy that will fit my needs, a bit too laid back for me. read more

Harmony is the scourge of the Earth. They require you to first see a therapist before seeing the psychiatrist (which I think is just a ploy to yank more money out of your pockets). There is one good psychologist there that cares for her patients but doesn't seem to have a clue what is going on in the psychiatry department. The staff are young college interns with limited training in mental health, but they are very kind. The psychiatrists are ABSOLUTELY DREADFUL. One doctor had me wait for an hour before seeing me for less than 15 minutes! I left there more depressed than when I walked in and, after being hospitalized for suicide attempt, I changed doctors. Please please PLEASE do not go here. You will leave worse than before and $100 poorer. If you care about your mental health, search around for more competent care. read more

While I really like my therapist at Harmony -- enough to put up with the crap the other reviews describe, I want to add my $.02 about Dr. Monheit. I think that what he does is borderline malpractice. He repeatedly kept me waiting for up to an hour, *even when I was his first client of the day.* When I mentioned how frustrated I was to be kept waiting, he glibly replied that while he had many good qualities, being on time was not one of them. I was only seeing him to refill a prescription for an antidepressant I had been taking for years. Despite my repeated requests, he would only give me a month or two supply. I concluded that he wasn't as concerned with monitoring my treatment as he was with getting multiple co-pays. So I stopped going to him and arranged with my doctor to get yearly prescriptions. Treating patients like this is unethical. If you are stuck in his pay-for-script hustle, consider going to a medical doctor. You are more likely to be treated like an adult capable of making your own educated choices about medication, and you will not end up coughing up hundreds of dollars in co-pays. read more

The only aspect of HMHS that is deserving of any starts at all is the customer service at the front desk. Aside from that, this rates a zero. I visited a total of 5 times. Once to a therapist, who seemed more interested in becoming friends, than providing a professional service. She gave me her personal contact information to get dinner. Very unprofessional and worrisome. The other 4 visits were with a psychiatrist who provided consistently disrespectful, unprofessional, and utterly uncaring. He routinely made a room full of patients wait for 1+ hours past scheduled appt. times without apology. He admittedly did not recognize me at all after seeing him at least every too months for nearly a year. Additionally, he failed to take any ownership in patient dissatisfaction and displays an unwavering disregard for patient conditions. If you want just a prescription with less than 5 minutes face time with a doc, and have at least an hour to kill in a depressing waiting room, this is your place. My recommendation? Do not go here unless under absolute necessity. There are many other mental health care professionals that provide service worthy of their patient's lives and money. This organization gives a horrible reputation for mental health services in general, if you can even call what they do a "service". read more

I cannot believe how unorganized and disrespectful this place is. The doctor cancelled on me 3 times!!! This is a place that people depend on, I literally needed to see her to talk about my medication that i take EVERY-SINGLE-DAY. So the fact the a professional has the audacity to cancel appointments on their patients 3 separate times makes me sick to my stomach. I will never go here again and will never recommend anyone else to. read more

All they want is your money. This is a pill mill: they give out dangerous meds for anxiety etc with NO therapy and charge your insurance over a hundred dollars. The Dr. (pscy)_ asks you what medicines you are taking and then asks do you wantt something else! She does NO therapy and can't wait to write prescriptions and get rid of you so she can go on the next addict. Takes all of about 10 minutes. The state needs to investigate this place.It is nothing but a drug pushing enterprise not a place for therapy. Buyer Beware! I asked for therapy and they gave me a social worker who was not skilled in anxiety disorders or depression! read more

If I could give this place a negative rating, I would. I went to a therapist who recommended medication for depression on my first visit. I told her my concerns and that I didn't want meds. I think I went 3 or 4 times, she was so rude. She kicked me out of her office and said she wouldn't treat me when I asked her what other options I had besides medication, what treatment is there for depression. I never felt so mistreated from a professional. It was a horrible experience. I was bewildered. I should have reported her. She was just awful. I've had crappy therapy before but this woman was the worst. read more

Harmony has treated me well over the years. When I read some reviews I was surprised others are so put-off by the staff or therapists. My interactions with staff Justin and Michael are particularly friendly, having formed a human relationship with them over the years. The therapist I see is excellent, more on that below. In terms of the psychiatrists, I'll say that Dr. M was excruciatingly late, so I switched to Dr. Frankel who is as punctual as any doctor, often right on time. If some regard good service as a therapist taking a few minutes extra to discuss something at the end of a visit, then it's reasonable to tolerate some delays. Good service is also expert advice, and this is where Harmony is great. In terms of the psychologists/therapists, I've been seeing Cheryl for years with very helpful results and good experiences. Cheryl is a very good listener but also prompts me as a patient to explore issues outside my frame of reference. This is crucial and of course helpful, since I'm not just looking for therapeutic ears, but a good brain off which to bounce ideas. Dr. Frankel provides good advice on medications including those which are effective and inexpensive with my particular insurance. On that topic, I'm grateful Harmony is convenient to my work and takes my insurance. Many mental health clinics simply do not take insurance. That's understandable from a provider-side but completely unreasonable from a patient-side. I don't expect reminders about upcoming appointments since I'm a grown-up, but they auto-call call me two days ahead anyway. That's nice. No place is perfect, however. The building and waiting room are a bit threadbare. Civil construction impacts building entry, which is a but confusing at first. None of these take away from the fact that I have been helped by these people. I would not trade good therapists and them taking my insurance for a $20,000 interior refresh to make things look nicer as I wait. Inasmuch as I discuss mental health with my friends, I'd certainly recommend Harmony. read more

My experience with Harmony Mental Health Services was a disheartening one that made me feel insignificant and anonymous. Dealing with longtime depression and anxiety, I went to Harmony to see a psychiatrist. I was first put through a mandatory intake process with Dr. Cheryl Bork Hadley, who demonstrated the worst listening skills I have ever encountered in a therapist. She interrupted every sentence I started. Literally. I never obtained a real opportunity to be heard. She spoke of cursory topics and made jokes in poor taste when I was clearly in an overwhelmed and vulnerable state which did not invite this type of conversation. I left the office with permission to see a psychiatrist and feeling worse than I had when I went in. Dr. Monheit prescribed medication for two weeks, a trial. I was on my lunch break from work--since he is only in the office one day out of the week--and waited 45 minutes to be seen. The appointment lasted less than ten minutes. At the follow up a few weeks later (after I'd run out of medication because he moved our appointment), he asked generally how I was doing (the only question he asked me the entire appointment). I responded that I hadn't felt anything from the medication yet, which made sense, since he'd said himself that it takes four to six weeks to take effect. (So should it not have been prescribed for more than two weeks?) Instead of asking more specific questions, he responded by asking me if I wanted to try another drug for the next month. He poses it as my choice, yet provides no guidelines of what to consider. A buffet of drugs. A merry-go-round. He gave no explanation of the medication, no background, and no reasoning why he was prescribing it when taking my circumstantial and historical factors into account. Those factors were never brought up. It was as if he'd pulled the name of the drug out of thin air. I felt completely anonymous. No conversation. I understand fully that each patient reacts uniquely to a medication, and that results can't be known until the medication is taken. I do not seek a seer out of a psychiatrist. I do, however, need communication and the sense that the consultant is taking all factors into consideration. When I asked about things I should consider when deciding whether to take a medication or not, he gave no offers. He gave me two minutes--literally--to decide. He clearly wanted to get me out of the door with as little investigation as possible. The appointment lasted 6 minutes. Patients deserve more than the rip of an Rx slip after a single question asked. I will not go back to Harmony, having wasted time, money and trust. read more

Do NOT go to Harmony, ever! Harmony is a crack house where dealers, aka psychiatrists, dispense scripts for medication that they are getting kick backs on. The pills they push are so potent & have such adverse side effects that they have no business being prescribed to anyone in an outpatient setting. For example, without even being introduced to the doctor, I was prescribed medication that is only used for treatment with severe & violent mental illness. It was not a med that should EVER be considered in the treatment of a grad student struggling with anxiety. I have been trying for an hour to think of the names of the med they tried to drug me with. I do remember that one of them was used to sedate elderly individuals in advanced stages of Alzheimer's, and the other was for intended for short term use by individuals facing life threatening surgery. These meds would have made me comatose, and I don't see how stopping my brain & body function could have done anything for my anxiety, aside from killing me. Luckily, I consulted with my family doctor, and ended up trashing the scripts. Aside from hazardous and aggressive drug pushing, there are other signs that concerning Harmony, there is, something rotten in Denmark. For instance, the 5 other patients checking out from their appointments at the same time as me had ALL been given the same scripts. Then, without either of us knowing it, my sister made an appointment at Harmony a few weeks later. She was seen by a different doctor, for a different set of issues, but was still somehow prescribed the exact same meds. She was also shocked to find that the docs offer no therapy, they just ask you why you came in, yell at you, and throw dangerous meds at you. As a final example of the toxicity of Harmony, a few years ago, I briefly worked with a woman who had also been a patient at Harmony. Unlike my "doctor," my coworkers went over her medical history with her. Upon finding out that 25 years earlier, she had been hospitalized for an eating disorder, the doctor laughed in her face and said, "Ha! Yeah right, you aren't even a little bit skinny, were you the fattest girl at the hospital? They all must have laughed at you." First, of all, my coworker is indeed thin, not that it matters. What matters is that a psychologist mocked a serious struggle a patient had experienced. He also mocked a very serious illness, never mind the sexist way in which this male doctor, who is suppose to be a mental health professional, belittled a female patient. And then, guess what meds my co- worker was prescribed? Only, she took them and was sick for a long time, until realizing that Harmony is a hoax. Unless they have done a major turnaround since I was there, they need to be shut down, and charged with malpractice, ASAP. read more

I went to Harmony Mental Health from 2014 to 2015, and I had to stop going for a couple of reasons. One was that they kept telling me I owed more money than I actually did on my missed appointment fee. I actually was paying off that fee at about $10 per visit, and it was a $60 fee, so there was no way I kept owing all the money they told me I did. Something strange was going on with that. Another thing is that there was no therapist who would fit my schedule after I got a new job in 2015, but the psychiatrist I continued to see for meds. The psychiatrist was the worst, because when I asked to try an antidepressant that didn't make me feel as sluggish (I was on Celexa) he told me to stop Celexa and start taking Wellbutrin. He told me Wellbutrin was the same class of drug as celexa. Celexa is an SSRI and Wellbutrin is a completely different class of antidepressant, so I should have been tapered off the drug. I found all this out recently from my new psychiatrist at Horizon House. I lasted two weeks on Wellbutrin before quitting and going back to celexa. My celexa withdrawal and Wellbutrin side effects combined were horrific. I was so dizzy and extremely anxious and agitated all the time from Wellbutrin. I also couldn't ride my bike or do any exercise without feeling an overwhelming dizziness. I don't recommend this place. In fact, I highly recommend Horizon House at 120 S. 30th Street in Philadelphia. They have comprehensive Tx plans and better psychiatrists, whereas Harmony is full of quacks. read more

This is the worst excuse for mental health care. I have found zero to no harmony from this place. I made an appointment to discuss the adverse effects I was experiencing from a prescription I was given at a prior appointment. I was given even more prescriptions and advice that perhaps getting myself hospitalized was my best option. I walked out of there feeling even more anxiety then when I entered. Many appointments I made there were constantly changed because it didn't suit the doctors schedule. Um, then why did you let me make the appointment in the first place? When I had a conflict of schedule and arrived several minutes late I was given a $40 charge. My only experience prior was always waiting around to be taken anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes late. When I asked the doctor about it the only response I got was that she had prior engagements. It then occurred to me that after my last appointment that I was given the advice of hospitalization and more prescriptions, she was going to only spend 5 minutes tops with me for further consultation. Really? The words coming out of the doctors mouth had no validity and zero positive direction. I now feel stupider having to know you. If I could I would reward you with negative zero stars. May god have mercy on your souls. read more

I agree wholeheartedly with the above statements. The therapist told me that "I'll always be a loser if I don't do anything to change". They're of the "it's all your fault" school of cognitive therapy that seems to be popular and cheaper as a treatment these days. Another thing he liked to say was "that's a bunch of baloney". Great advice. My grandpa could have been a better therapist. The guy looked close to death and resembled a zombie Alan Arkin. The pill popper MD that I saw was awful. He triple booked patients and I got maybe 10 min with him. He did nothing scientific. No questionaires or baseline evaluations. He told me I had "existential depression" and should take yoga and meditate. I wasn't going to go back but I had ran out of meds and I thought it would be quicker getting an appointment than starting all over again. I went back in and they said I had missed an appointment and I would have to pay a $40 fee. They must have auto scheduled something because I don't remember making another appointment. Not to mention I had to cover most of the visits so far because my company has such a high deductible. I got so mad I said I just want out and of course they charged me another $40 to cancel the visit. Meanwhile, I'm still without meds because they don't do phone referrals. What the f is that? So I have to pay $200+ and the fee for the medication each time I want a refill? F THIS PLACE! Oh it also in a dank pit of a dungeon in the lower level of a high rise. If you weren't depressed before you went in, you will be when you get there. Zero stars. read more

Harmony is the most unprofessional and unproductive office of mental health practitioners I've ever seen.. And I work in healthcare. Not only are the doctors extremely disconnected with you during sessions, but they are disorganized and lack any ounce of compassion or empathy with their patients. I was also very very frustrated that it took me nearly 2 weeks to try and get a response from my doctor at Harmony regarding a prescription, since you cannot directly phone call or email the docs, the secretaries have to relay every message. I'm sure you can imagine how frustrating this is when attempting to get a refill on a prescription. Not only that, but the doctors will only give you refills if you come in for a $100 appointment (which mind you, lasts not even ten minutes) for a $10 prescription. This facility is overpriced and not worth your time if you are looking for a beneficial mental health care provider. Save your time and money. read more

Do not go here. You will not be treated as a patient, rather as a customer. The counselor I saw for years tried to compare my abusive husband "breaking his contract" to me refusing to pay a $40 fee for "No Show" for an appointment, which wasn't the case. I did call and explain that I care for babies as a living and the parents of my charges were late causing me to miss my appointment and making a phone session impossible. Yes, it wasn't 24 hours, but it was the only time that ever happened and I had been a customer of that same therapist for over a year never having missed an appointment. Also, the front desk person did not make it known that this situation fell into the category of "No Show" since I didn't "Not Show Up" I "Called and explained an extenuating circumstance for the first time and there was an extremely valid reason" I did not assume that I would have to pay in order to be treated for my mental health issues. Including being a victim of abuse - something that is even more serious than the unreasonable charge - my therapist implied that I was also to blame and was also responsible for being abused several times - which is an extremely uneducated and dangerous thing to say to a victim. The therapist then explained that the ONLY reason she would "budge" is in the event of illness, which also should have been explained from the start because then I would have just lied. Interesting though since presumably no one she sees is NOT ill at any given moment, otherwise they would not be seeking treatment for a mental ILLNESS. read more
