San Pedro Mental Health Services

Avoid at all costs. When I would meet with my psychologist I felt worse at the end of the session than I did when I first walked in. The group therapy was ok but the breathing exercises and "grounding" doesn't help my suicidal thoughts. They prefer to pill you up. The pills I received there landed me in the emergency room for lithium toxicity and I was in a car accident too from being under the influence from other medication.
They made be book smart on mental health but have no clue as to what people like me feel. Add to that the constant cancellations of group and therapy sessions.

Edit: Sofia and Patrick moderated some useful groups. I give many props to them.

If you truly need help do not use their services. If you are somebody that just wants to talk to someone once a month or every 2 months, then they're perfect. Not consistent at all. The only solution my therapist suggest is breathing techniques which do not help me at all. I have panic attacks and have other buried issues that need to be resolved. In the beginning I thought they were all right but once I became a patient, my appointments kept getting rescheduled and they are so far apart from each other it doesn't help me at all. I'd rather find someone and pay them out of pocket to talk to them weekly or however often I want rather than to wait for San Pedro Mental Health Services to help me whenever they feel like it. The lowest review you can give is one star and I wish I can give them zero.

Update: Erica was actually a good Listener and talking to her did help me release some bottled up feelings that I didn't know I had. I'm only apologetic about not putting this in the review I did over a year ago. Other than that, the rest of my review Remains the same.
