Kitsap Mental Health Services

5 stars for Sam and all the other female baddies. I actually feel listened to for the first time in my life. Like, my voice is HEARD. I also feel believed and not judged which is rare in the world, even in MH. I would recommend their counselors and trauma informed psychotherapists to anyone struggling with mental health concerns and especially SA related PTSD. I can't comment on their psychiatric care as I receive mine through a different organization but the talk therapy is definitely worth the evaluation and the drive. I think in person is the way to go but they also offer phone.

I would not recommend Kitsap Mental Health Services for any form of psychiatric or psychological care needs. The entire management team needs to be re-evaluated before they can ethically serve their clients.

Had one of their personnel flat out admit that they don't follow protocol or push to get things done because the system is broken so they are not trying to help. They said they are 60+ old and they can't go and check on people because she was too old to do that. So maybe actually have people that want to help . Spent a whole weekend dealing with her on the phone and there wasn't any files about someone possibly have a schizophrenic mental break. We called multiple times and there isn't any info on file

I went Sheridan in Brementon. While I had counseling there , it was very clear to me that what I said to my chosen councilor and would not be spoken to ANYONE else unless the councilor feels or I say something that involves me possibly harming myself or someone else. In my experience I liked my councilor. But I believe my councilor May have gotten their own personal feelings involved with a situation I talked about and then proceeded to take action based on an emotional state of theirs. They were a great councilor, very good. But after I left this place, I later found pages of my councilor and I’s conversations in a file in my parents room. Every single conversation. Of course it wasn’t in detail like every word but it was a brief summary of what we had spoken about in each of our sessions. I read through the pages and even though the summary of my sessions were brief, one of papers said “we discussed _______.” What that paper said WAS a brief summary of a session but that what it said was telling other people (my parents) what I had talked about. Counseling is supposed to be the client and the counselor talking to each other, helping the client and making sure the client knows that whatever they say will be safe with them UNLESS THE COUNSELOR BELIEVES THAT I WILL HURT MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. I spoke to my counselor trusting that nothing out side of that office will leave the inside of the office. I KNOW it was a brief summary, but the summary said a subject we spoke about that did not, at all, imply harming myself or others. Why are those summary’s necessary. My parents kept it from me but imagine any other parents reading the same papers of their child after leaving that place, and finding out that they spoke about a certain subject in a session. Then the parents know what their child was talking about wich is NOT what the counselors stated about their clients information. My counselor was great but when her emotions took over instead of finding out more about the situation, I left here, I left the counseling. The reason I went into counseling in the first place, continued with me until this day. I do believe I was getting better with myself until the day their emotions took over their job. My own mother didn’t speak to me for 2-3 days because of the sesión the counselors EMOTIONS decided was “right for me” If you chose to be here let your counselor know that in their summary they have to write, to not include something u don’t want anyone else knowing. And when u explain a situation with them, go into depth before they think ahead of your situation. Or don’t get help from here. Talk to god. He will help you. He will always help you.
