Access Counseling Group

Horrible place. I feel like the good reviews are all written by them. I wouldn’t recommend going if you actually want to get help. Even though they are supposed to help with substance abuse, they allow underage kids to smoke tobacco products outside while on break, and act like they “don’t see” so that they can lie about not knowing. The group sessions are unorganized and unprofessional. Also the employees are very immature with little to no actual respect for the patients. These people just want to make money, and act professional, to manipulate the people who come in looking for honest help.

I CAN NOT recommend this place -- not AT ALL. To begin with, their insurance billing was a nightmare. They messed up and incorrectly billed insurance resulting in thousands of dollars of declined coverage charges, out of pocket charges, and months of untangling the mess they made with insurance. Second, their culture is not one of respect. The therapists and leaders do not conduct group meetings with even a modicum of decorum, allowing yelling, cursing, name calling, vulgarity, and a glorification and elevation of substance abuse. Patients are allowed to 'one up' each other and the therapists / counselors contribute to the inappropriate language, name calling and tone. Finally, given they do not properly set a proper tone in the meetings, patients are randomly called out and receive punishment for behaviors that were previously accepted -- leaving patients and parents confused as to what is and is not appropriate. In our opinion, it seemed that IOP was only interested in prolonging the treatment plan to maximize revenue vs healing the individual. I would not recommend Access IOP to anyone.

When I first met Irene, I thought there was no hope for me. I was in such a deep state of depression that I didn't think I could ever crawl out. She gave me HOPE. She refused to let me fail. No therapist is perfect, but she is the first one I have had that has started dealing with me in one way, then tried something new when the first way wasn't working. Of course, I had to learn to listen and follow suggestions that were hard, but since I finally had HOPE, and was finally out living life again, accepting the change she offered became much easier. I definitely did my part to get better and with her as my cheerleader, I am starting to find true, happy self again. I kinda feel like I should give myself 5 stars too. :)

Sydney, my primary counselor, is absolutely fawking amazing!!!!! i have gotten the most out of access counseling than i have at any other facility that i have been to (and i've been to way too many..:/). I have felt loved since the day i had my first group experience!! other clients are warm n welcoming, any shite head would not only learn a shite ton from groups but have a shite load of fun while doin it. love love love syd and i highly recommend if u have a s h i t head kid who u need to send away to impatient but don't have the heart! access is an outpatient program and is perfectly parallel to inpatient due to the tools and mechanisms access has to offer. don't hesitate! send your shitehead to access NOW, u won't regret it!! also, irene has no chill but this is great when it comes to scaring the shite out of your shitehed!!!!!!!!
