    My 14 yr old has been seeing Meredith for the past 9 months. She has helped her deal with her…read moreanxiety, navigate her social life, better understand and communicate with me (Mom) and deal with depression. When we first brought my daughter to Meredith she was struggling greatly. She now has a better foundation and a safe place to talk about whatever she might need. I highly recommend Meredith for any of your counceling needs. She has been wonderful with my daughter!

    I first want to advise that this practice is made up of partners in the firm (much like a law firm)…read moreas well as therapists in training, therapists who rent office space and 2 psychiatrists who are independent contractors. Giving all of Pathway 1 star because you didnt have good results with one therapist is irrational and does not represent the entirety of the practice and the good it does in the community. All of the practictioners here take different types of insurance, some take Medicare and Medicaid, and have different hours and availability. I have been a patient of Darrin Bronfman, LCSW for over 9 years now. We meet together on a weekly basis to address issues related to my diagnosed bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder and PTSD. During the years i have taken jobs which required travel or had medical issues that kept me homebound and we still met via phone or Skype on a weekly basis. Mr. Bronfman has always made himself available for after hours coaching in emergency situations by email or phone. He takes more of a psychodynamic approach to therapy, combining cognitive behavioral and DBT concepts in as well. I have improved significantly in the last few years thanks to his coaching and support. Mr. Bronfman has also successfully met with friends and family members of mine over the years to help them understand my illness and behavior. For several years I was in a dating relationship and Mr Bronfman referred us to one of his trainees for couples counseling. The trainee was well educated and supervised throughout her work with us. She helped us come to the difficult yet necessary decision that our relationship was not sustainable. We appreciated her guidance and were able to remain friends beyond. The trainee has since gone on to maintain her own successful practice elsewhere thanks to her experience at Pathway. I attribute the work Ive done with Darrin to be critical to the improvements I have made in my illness, improvements I have made as a human being and in my personal and professional relationships. 9 years ago I could not hold down a dating relationship or job - now I work full time and have positive interpersonal interactions in all areas of my life. And bluntly put - without the connection I share with Darrin, i am not sure I would be alive today. Darrin thank you for everything youve done for me, and heres to the next 9 and more.

    This place is no better or worse than all of the other 5 behavioral health hospitals in the ATL…read morearea I have been to. They aren't medical hospitals and yes they will seem rough and unfair most of the time because they are! However, as much as I always want to leave shortly after being admitted ( usually under 1013), I always leave feeling better. ( bipolar, panic disorder, suicidal). If you need to be comfortable at all times, eat great food, use your phone, loved ones talk to the doctor, etc. ATL psych hospitals don't have this with the exception of Skyland Trail which requires more money and more of a time commitment but one of the best places in the US. I would like to see Lakeview stop showing pictures of the "lake" and the path to the middle of the lake as if they are available to patients. There is no way you will be seeing them outside! You possible could from inside the building if your room has that view and they randomly decide to open the blinds in your room. Overall, I'd say Lakeview is on par with Ridgeview,Peachford and Summit Ridge. None of them are hospitals in the medical sense of the word.

    This is the worst facility i've been to do not recommend going here if you have a choice i was a…read morepatient here for 7 days they don't show they care or try and help you get better. I only spoke to my Social worker for about 30 minutes max of my 7 day stay and only spoke to my doctor once for about 10 minutes my social worker asked what meds i would need and then i got my meds but never spoke to me about putting me on new meds and any previous meds i've been on. For what you actually do their it's basically nothing just sitting in a room forced to watch tv all day and groups that don't help basically all you do is coloring pages or word searches. Some food was decent other foods weren't recognizable.After signing a 10-10 to get a "chance" to leave early they take a full 72 hours to decide and they don't let you know unless they decide to let you leave early.There is a lot more things i could say about this place but i can't say it on here and all the pictures are outdated and don't look anything like it inside.

    I've been seeing Dr. Mehdi for about a year after deciding to seek care outside the VA system. As a…read moreveteran, I needed a more modern, individualized approach and medications/treatments the VA doesn't typically prescribe. From day one, Dr. Mehdi's expertise, compassion, and availability have been outstanding. His team/staff are top-notch--always prompt in answering calls and emails, and genuinely committed to my well-being. Dr. Mehdi is easy to talk to, listens carefully, and regularly updates my treatment plan. If you're looking for a caring, forward-thinking psychiatrist, I highly recommend Dr. Mehdi and his practice.

    Pro: I really liked the NP I was seeing. (5 stars). Con: A…read moreprovider is only as good as their support staff (2 stars) Before I get to the support staff, let's talk about the doctor. I was a patient for 3.5+ years before I spoke to him. Our first appointment was scheduled for 20 and billed for 30 minutes. Actual length? 7 minutes. He called me "my dear" several times which I think was an attempt to build rapport, but it landed somewhere between fake and lecherous. (2 stars for him) Back to the support staff, all offshore except the office manager. There is often a language barrier, like when the billing department called and asked to speak to "Doe Jane" instead of "Jane Doe" and referenced my recent visit with "Smith Mary." I usually need to call twice before someone answers the phone, and need to leave several messages before the provider gets them. On 2 occasions, I had a conversation with the NP where I mentioned trying to reach her several times and she said she never got a message until that day. Another time, the receptionist called and said, "[NP] wants me to tell you that she had an emergency and left early. She won't be able to call you today, but she will call you tomorrow." The provider hadn't been informed that I was looking for her. And didn't call back until I had left 2 more messages and spent 2 weeks thinking that she was purposely avoiding my calls. Another time, I left 2 messages for and emailed the office manager over the course of a week. When I called the next week and said I thought there was insurance fraud happening, she called me back immediately. Billing practices were explained in different incorrect ways by the billing department and then the office manager, both of which led me to believe there was insurance fraud happening. When I finally spoke to the NP, she explained it in 30 seconds and it made sense. Yes, the NP is good, but she doesn't operate alone. I stuck with her for nearly 4 years, but I finally got fed up with everyone around her.
