I had been a patient at BridgePointe Psychological and Counseling Services over a year. I have an…read moreunusual set of diagnosed psychiatric disorders, none resulted in body image distortions or addictions. Often, psychiatric services pigeonhole patients into treatment or therapy due to addictions and/or body image distortions. This one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work with me because my problems/manifestations require different care. I explained my concerns to BridgePointe regarding the nature of my psychiatric difficulties.They accepted me as a patient and I saw a separate therapist and psychiatric nurse practitioner who was the meds prescriber. Several months ago the initial therapist stopped seeing me, saying that he wanted to no longer see me because I quit a fatiguing, stressful part-time job before securing a new one. I have a new therapist. Within a month I secured a part-time position from a reputable organization that pays reasonable wages. Most work is done at home and participants report to the organization for two hours once weekly. Like many who are afflicted with mental health problems, I've gone on and off several medications over many years. Initially I thought that the nurse practitioner would work. She seemed caring in regards to my unusual set of psychiatric comorbidities and eager to try medications. We moved forward with a starter pack medication for a new drug. I ran into trouble when attempting to fill the prescription at my pharmacy. Because I am a Medicare patient, I was ineligible for the savings card some patients are able to use. The pharmacist said that I would need to pay $210 for a month's supply. Not happening. And the sample pack's final pill was that Monday. So I call the nurse practictioner's phone and left a detailed message explaining that I am in limbo on how to proceed. I placed my call on a Monday at 11:15 a.m. Her outgoing message said to expect responses Tuesdays through Fridays during normal business hours. So by Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. I hadn't heard back, so I called and left another detailed message explaining that the previous day I had taken the final pill from the sample pack and was unsure of next moves going forward. I still had not heard anything by 3:30 p.m., so I called the office receptionist and asked her to please have the nurse practitioner call me since I was in a medication crisis and my previous calls to her machine went unanswered. She finally called at 3:55 p.m. to say that I need to go online and look for a special form to be filled out by patients and signed by practitioners that would allow me to receive the drug for free or a reduced cost. I'm frustrated and this exercise of hunting down the elusive savings form is like looking for a needle in a haystack. A complicating factor is that the sample pack listed two pharmaceutical company names in partnership. It turned out that a third name absent from the packaging was the company responsible to issuing and reviewing the assistance forms patients needed to download, fill out, and mail in for financial assistance review. The staff at a mental health organization from a city I previously lived had the foresight and courtesy to already print the pharmacy-assistance forms so they were ready to give to appropriate patients. She said that she would set out another starter pack. So about 1 p.m. I pick it up and told the receptionist that I had further questions, and could the nurse practitioner please call me. The receptionist said that she was there with another patient and that I would get a call at a free moment. Again I'm waiting, and the hours go by. I don't receive the call until 4:41 p.m. I said that I had concerns about starting again on this medication because I didn't know how long it would take for the from I handed in for her signature would take until the prescription would be filled. The nurse practitioner is now upset because I don't understand that I'm not her only patient. Duuuhhh! I patiently waited 36 hours between my first call and actually speaking with her. I understand that she likely would be with patients throughout the day. But the time lapsed was excessive, esp for a meds emergency. She got testy when I said that I had concerns about the organization's ability to capably treat a patient like me who has numerous unusual psychiatric diagnoses. I said that I questioned her ability to effectively treat me. She said that she would discharge me as a patient because I no longer "trust" her. I said now I do question her abilities to treat (and dismiss) a patient who in just the past 48 hours had suicidal ideation, experienced fits of rage, shrieking episodes, and then the phone call suspiciously got cut. Mental health practitioners have a responsibility to their patients! If you find that you cannot in good faith continue treating a patient, help her/him make the transition to a new therapist/facility. I am now w/out needed therapy, meds. Shame on you BridgePointe!

With that being said, it's still easy for me to say, without a doubt, The Cincinnati Anxiety Center is by far the best behavioral health group I've ever come across. In my opinion, The Cincinnati Anxiety Center offers the most innovative and trustworthy therapy avaiable for mental health across the board, for adults and children alike. Truly a place that goes above and beyond your stereotypical therapy to bring you and/or your loved ones a personalized plan. A plan that communicates trust, care and hope. The Cincinnati Anxiety Center is also multifaceted based on their client's needs. They utilize only the best and clinically approved, state-of-the-art technology. And I could probably write a book about evening they have to offer, but go ahead and just look them up online to find out all of their services. Mostly, for me, they care. Not a marketing "we care about you," but care as a person who understands your pain. For me, even after missing appointments, I was never shamed. Never has my therapist given up on me. I've even been given a house call and meeting up outside their office, upon my approval, after having difficulty making appointments. They are there for YOU. One personal reflection I remember... It was a rough day. I only wanted to go to bed, but I when I got to my appointment, my therapist held out a nitendo switch controller and said "Let's see those Fifa skills." I have no gaming skills, so I didn't fare well, but I laughed. I mean really laughed! And it was the right medicine. I laughed more than I had for weeks. The Cincinnati Anxiety Center is superior not only because of their generous therapeutic options, great results and are an amazing group of people, but also it's the small things. Things like noticing when you just need to take a break and laugh.
