I m sad to say Spectrum Behavioral is not a Place to go. I was seen there since 2016 . My first experience was tasteless as disrespectful with the intake evaluator whom was or is an Elderly rude Disrespectful individual whom badgered me. I m a Survivor of DV for 34 1/2 yrs as loss my two dogs in the process having to let them go. I was diagnosed with PTSD ~Anxiety as Depression. I refused for yrs to seek Counseling as I felt strong enough not to need it but he just continued destroying damaging even afterwards till now. I was assigned to a Wonderful Counselor who understood me without Judgement or Criticism. She was to me THE BEST. Advocating for me. I fell through hardship as so much more traumatic experiences. She abandoned me not knowing why. This was not She. I was severely hurt as I needed continued Counseling, someone to talk to. They claimed she said she was not taking New Patients. Really? 2016-2022. I was not a new Patient. But I was always her Patient. When I mostly needed her as I needed an ESA letter for my furbabies I did not want to lose AGAIN.Hani really showed his true colors posting untrue diagnosis on letter as her Boss whom I decided to see but felt uncomfortable ( The owner). I had to cut him off as he did not care about my feelings or Abuse. But wanted to change to health issues as if that is why I seeked Counseling. I did not. My health issues were related to other issues including Work. I wrote him a letter informing as requesting when I needed an ESA letter for both if he kindly. I called February when my Furson was ill, he claimed he does not commit fraud. I took that very offensive as it was not fraud. I had every Right due to my History. As it s documented and want him stripped of my Citizenship as Deported.My Furson ~ my World~ my Soul passed . Greedy Vets as their evil Negligence . He should be alive today He disrespectfully put as if I were Bipolar~ Crazy Just as Hani for this evil Corp Office we unfortunately moved into.I regret as all came tumbling down like evil as what was done to me Discriminating me as treating me like what was put on Letter by both..He also said Counseling is not your friend . As if I had to see him (Controlling) . One sees a Counselor as many times they need to talk as Vent out their Problems as Pain. I honestly felt uncomfortable being he a Man as foreigner speaking to me that way I felt very uncomfortable. He s elderly and I respect that but I could not continue with Him.As what he as Hani ( Hani Knew) notated on ESA was a lie disrespectful and not my Diagnosis. There was a time I liked Hani, but when he told me at some point you have to move on with all I endured and Therapist abandoning me With what intentions was that done? Do I not have a right to get upset as vent about something? Unbelievable.I hope he (Shingala) repents for lying.. Till this day I m dying inside for my Furson. I emailed my Former Therapist pouring my heart out when I lost my World. She ignored me. Never bothered to tell me in advance. This was a huge surprise considering how comfortable I felt talking with her as she never gave me any Sign. How shattering . I trusted her so much. Till this day I find myself telling my story on Two FB pages . One about my DV the other which was not intended for my Furson ( for personal reasons ) had to, pouring my heart out till this Day ..He was not just a DOG. He was a blessing and left to die by Greedy Vets who failed him. It is a sharp pain deep sharp pain in my heart mourning my Furson and no one can tell me anything unless they were with me. She knew I m not only an honest individual, but Realistic..I was trying to bring debt down on my Furson. It s about the money and nothing else. Just as our furbabies.. Not sure why she did that to me. This is not She. I emailed Alicia informing I want my records as what was done and I m enduring. She ignored it. Who does that. Very rude Cruel as unprofessional. A Hippa Violation. Do your research before seeking a therapist. I know there s no one like the one I had.. They re hard to find .

Avoid Dr. Singh. He didn't use the virtual room for our appointments but instead would call me on my mobile phone, which has got to be some kind of HIPAA violation. I see Hani Khalil now, who is great. Also the reception staff are wonderful!

This place has gone downhill since moving to virtual visits. Appointments feel rushed, myself and other family members feel not listened to regarding our symptoms, medications are never called in in a timely fashion, and it takes forever for a receptionist to answer. Billing is a joke as we get charged no show fees even when we show up for our appointments. I am so glad I switched to a different provider group as this group is seriously one of the worst I've seen. If I could leave a 0 star review I would

Seems a large chunk of the bad reviews are from people who have an axe to grind and want to make their problems everyone else's (peep the last one star review which is a bot/catfish profile as an example). Spectrum Behavioral Health has always been there when I need them and have made accommodations to fit my schedule. I've been going here for over ten years and never had any issues with this place.

I'm a bit surprised to see all the negative reviews here. Maybe I've just been lucky, but I don't think so. All of the providers I've seen here have been very competent. Hani Khalil, NP, has been great. The main reason for the review is that every time I call, I seem to get Alice. She's so nice and helpful. Always cheerful, not some burned out dour reception / admin assistant. Thanks Alice, keep up the good work.

This is the most unprofessional practice for mental health I have ever been to. You call for the next available appointment with your psychiatrist because you need your refills on medications that keep you sane and stable, and they can’t even put in for refill requests and let you go without medications you need to somewhat live a normal life. Whether it be depending on these medications to be able to get through especially when you have to work to survive and make it through life, have kids that depend on you, are going through college to try and better your life. How are you suppose to when you run out of these and can’t even speak to anyone? So you have to go through days where you can’t even get out of bed effecting your livelihood. The ladies that pick up the phone are never pleasant, mental healthcare is something that should be for those who are emphatic and show compassion and caring towards those who are suffering. I love the psychiatrist I see at the practice but the way they are organized is unprofessional and not helpful to those who need help.

Found a great therapist through Spectrum. It's also done via telehealth which is super convenient for me. My therapist is attentive, kind, and empathetic. I've also had her for a while, unlike other therapy providers (who I will not name) who rotate round the clock; this, amongst a couple of other reasons, is what made me switch to Spectrum...I was tired of changing therapists left and right. If Spectrum is reading this, I would suggest an online function where the patient can access a calendar and register when he/she would like to see a provider. I think this would clog up the phone system less (especially during peak call times) and streamline making appointments so much easier. Just my two cents. Overall, I'm very happy with the services I'm receiving.
