I have been to Southside Counseling Associates a few times now and can honestly give them five…read morestars. They offer counseling services for many needs and have several independent practitioners here according to the brochure I picked up from the waiting room as well as their website. I have personally been seeing Richard (Rick) Payne and am happy so far. He is easy to talk to and has been quite helpful. I found him through a Catholic psychologist whom I could not see because of my insurance issues. Thankfully, Mr. Payne is able to take patients with insurance through the Healthy Indiana Plan. Prices are also more reasonable than what I have encountered in the past. What makes me most at ease is that he is of the same faith as I am though this is not pastoral care. Another plus in my book is that this is a small building and not a large office complex. There is no receptionist or call center and I can speak with or text my counselor directly. The waiting room is usually serene with none to very few people. The first time I walked in, I was amazed at the cozy and nicely decorated interior. There was calming music on with bird sounds in the background. They also provide a nice selection of magazines and books contrary to what most offices have. It is homey which makes sense since it is a little yellow house with green shutters right on Main Street in the older section of Greenwood that has been converted into a business. It is honestly like no other mental health office I have ever visited before and in a very good way. My only issue is that I wish it were closer to home, but it is quite worth the ride south of the city for excellence. Parking is in the rear, as is the entrance. There aren't a ton of parking spaces so it could become tight if there were several cars here at the same time, but you can park across the street as well if needed. Afternoons seem to be much less busy than evenings as I am sure many people come by after work for their appointments. I am grateful that they do offer evening hours. Again, I am new here, but I am pleased with the care I have received. It far surpasses any services I have had in the past. I only can speak of my counselor in particular on a detailed level, but if you are in need of counseling services, I highly suggest giving them a go. I am sure they would have someone to fit your needs with the variety of expertise that these independent counselors offer.

My daughter is depressed after the death of her boyfriend and I made several attempts to call and schedule an appointment. They have no receptionist and never returned my calls, even after I said that if they are not accepting new patients to please let me know. We have insurance, but I also would have been able to pay for each session if that was the problem. For counselors, they don't seem very concerned with someone's mental health.

However, at first Christine was great, but then pressured me to allow an intern into our sessions. Then before too long she reduced my sessions against my objections. Then all of sudden her husband was involved in my plan. Guess what? I had never met the man and he was not licensed! His license was revoked! Really? Totally unethical! Never again.

I have been going to her for several years now, and she has helped me through a ton of crap! She's non-analytical like psychologists often are. She listens and comes up with strategies to attack your problems head-on. I have nothing against psychologists, they just aren't a good fit for me.
