Logan Heights Family Counseling Center

The physiatrists working here have no knowledge of western medicine, they have no idea how to prescribe medication, I am suffering from severe panic attacks they prescribe dangerous beta blocker heart medication, not anxiety medication, now I am in need of cardiologist to repair my damaged heart!, this place does not care if it’s patients suffer, this is a medical billing mill, no real treatment is conducted here

I was surprised and blessed that I could receive counseling here for free with medi-​cal and even more surprised that I could get EMDR… a treatment that I have paid one hundred dollars a session for in the past. Dr. Barry is a great counselor in only a few sessions she has impacted my life greatly.

I’ve also had a positive experience with my counselor and this clinic both. I’ve taken my partner her for years and have seen a therapist myself, and all the staff has been nothing but helpful and friendly. My therapist, Lindsey, has been so great.

The stars are for counselor Wendy Dan. She’s superior. However getting an appt with her is like trekking though hell. She reserves appts each week for urgent need, but when I call for one the clerk says «I don’t know nothing about that.» I ask for someone else and she says she’s the only one. First, you have to call the main ph line. They take all your info and then transfer you to Logan Heights, where they take all your info AGAIN. Insane. When you finally get an appt, the clerks are rude and often «forget» to give you the mandatory written survey so that the counselor has to do it and this eats into your 45 minute session. I overhear them speaking Spanish about clients — including me — because I don’t look like I would speak Spanish. I finally gave up on my awesome therapist, Wendy, because of the hassles getting in to her and being treated like trash by the front desk staff. I’m not the only one, I see them do the same to others in line ahead of me.

Friendly counseling staff. The front staff can be a bit short, but I think they don’t have a lot of time.

Looking for a highly judgmental /​less-​than-​professional /​«I’m right and you’re wrong» type of counseling? Look no further. While the front desk and check in staff are friendly, the therapists and psychiatrists were something else.
But then again… after spending years after years being in med/​grad school, this gives them the right to do that, no? So just go along with whatever diagnosis they give you…
After all, you don’t know best about yourself. These doctors who’ve spent their whole life in front of textbooks and paying $$$ to tuition apparently know more about you than you. So come on in, and hope your insurance covers it.
