I don't normally write reviews but I really feel like I need to warn people about this place...this is the most unprofessional therapeutic program I've ever been involved with and that says a lot because I'm 53 years old and have gone to therapists off and on all my life!!!
Anyway, I was seeing Donna Beebe about once or twice a month for about 8 months. I wanted professional help in dealing with my difficult mom. Her advice was okay but a bit questionable at times but I still continued on seeing Mrs Beebe nevertheless.
Anyway, I don't really live very close to the facility so I had some issues keeping some of my appointments but if I was unable to make it I would always call and usually tried to give plenty of notice. Last week I had car problems so I had no choice than to cancel out the last minute. I explained the situation to the lady at the front desk and I said I'd call back to reschedule...but when I called back to reschedule I was told by the same lady at the front desk that Donna Beebe closed my case due to too many missed appointments and that I'm now banned from going there again, which in a lot of ways may have been a blessing anyway ...because like I said, I did not find Mrs Beebe particularly helpful anyway nor did I find the place run very professionally!! Most the times I went there there was nobody working reception. It just seemed very unprofessional however, I think it's beyond unprofessional but actually completely unethical how Mrs Beebe closed my case like that! I had no clue that she even had an issue with my attendance as she never mentioned anything about it to me in any of my sessions so I had no clue this was a problem with them! In the past when I've gone to professional therapy if the therapist was unhappy with something I was doing she would discuss it with me in a session but as I said, Mrs Beebe never mentioned a word to me about this but instead she did the very cold, rude and cowardly thing and just closed my case without warning which is actually considered a form of abandonment...which is a violation of a therapists medical ethics!
Anyway, I decided to call the next day to speak with Mrs Beebe's supervisor to file a complaint but once again the same lady at the front desk said that there is no supervisor and that instead I could address my issues with her as she is the office manager. Keep in mind that this "office manager" is the same lady that leaves reception unattended on a regular basis! So I proceeded to explain my issues with how Mrs Beebe closed my case and this "office manager" told me that since I signed a form agreeing to not miss x amount of days that Mrs Beebe had a right to dismiss me anyway she pleased! I told this " office manager" that they have left me no other choice than to file a complaint with the proper medical board...which is precisely what I'm in the process of doing now but I thought it be important that I also warn anyone that is considered going to Carolina Counseling to look elsewhere! As I said, In all my 53 years on that planet I've never experienced anything so unprofessional in a therapeutic setting before! It's places like this that give therapists a very bad name!
As the saying goes, unfortunately in life you get what you pay for and I only went to this facility because my medicaid covered it but it's obviously a joke of a place with the bottom of the barrel therapists. ..that's if that is what these people are anyway? I'm questioning whether they truly are therapists since it's ran so unprofessionally! My best suggestion is...If you can afford a professional therapist go to one ...it's better than saving money and dealing with this garbage or if you have absolutely no other choice and have to go here do NOT see Donna Beebe as she will coldly close your case unexpectedly if you miss a session! I'm just grateful that I was not in any serious depression when she did that to me! I'm just imagining if someone was suicidal and they had Mrs Beebe as there therapists only to have her abandon them like that! Absolutely despicable! Therapists are supposed to be caring and understanding but my experience with Mrs Beebe and Carolina counseling is just the opposite! She and this facility need to be investigated and shut down! Disgraceful! read more
