WCP is luckily to have Dr. Elizabeth Mongillo Herman. Literally the most compassionate and…read moreconsiderate person I've ever known. Remembers so many small details about myself and others in my life and attentively listens to my struggles. With guidance from Liz, I've been able to piece together the massive puzzle that is the concept of mental health as a whole, and understand myself. Liz has helped me find compassion for my own self & actively advocates for compassion toward others.Intelligent, thoughtful and helpful in terms of healing and recovery. Extremely trauma informed with a wonderful sense of advocacy and communicative and collaborative with other healthcare providers to recognize patterns of behavior and symptoms. Liz has truly gone the length to help her patients. She is a skilled and knowledgeable Reiki provider as well- with an open and insightful view of energy healing, in addition to therapeutic treatment. Deserves some sort of global award or recognition but is simply too humble.

I sought care here and it was a horrible idea. during a mental health crisis, the therapist I was…read moresupposed to be working Pamela Denova, directed me to go to the ER with the understanding that I would be supported afterward. After following that guidance, I was left without medication support, held in the ER for hours without my physical pain management, and then discharged from care immediately after returning home--despite being told we would continue working together. On my intake phone call I told them about my PTSD and that I was currently in outpatient at institute of living. Which wasn't a problem to Jasmine the intake coordinator,, to get me to have an the intake appointment. Pamela Denova knew as well because I told her I went to partial hospitalization, and am now in outpatient. No one said anything that I could not be a patient of theirs while in a outpatient program. Not once was I told that til after seeing the canceled appoint. She didn't even have the decency to call me and tell me I was discharge or why. And she actually ignored my text and call. Before I went into the hospital, Pamela heard me tell her where I was at. She then promised she would be there to work on things when I get out, but instead she and mellahealth discharged me. During intake, I was also asked to revisit deeply traumatic experiences, including several severe personal traumas, only to be dropped from care the very next day. There was no transparency about whether this practice could provide the level of care I needed before putting me through that process. Or that they couldn't see me while I was in a higher level of care. Horrible policy. This experience felt like abandonment at one of the most vulnerable moments of my life. I would strongly urge others to steer clear of anything to do with anyone listed above.

My therapist uses MellaHealth for her billing and they have probably THE WORST possible…read morerepresentative in the billing department who has ZERO empathy, or understanding of clients with mental health issues. She treats people terribly and has absolutely NO heart for what people are going through. She treats you like a deadbeat, even when it's a simple clerical mistake, or if you have already made a payment. She constantly talks over you, and then hangs up on clients in crisis, after being responsible for putting them in that situation. Not at all what you would expect from a Mental Health Organization. They want your Credit Card information so they can bill you whenever they please. DO NOT GIVE IT TO THEM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. It's CLEAR that MellaHealth's only goal is MONEY and not actually helping people. Typical for American healthcare. I agree with previous posters, they absolutely stress you out more regarding insurance payments and billing mistakes that could be rectified simply instead of making it a anxiety inducing situation. STAY AWAY! DO NOT USE MELLAHEALTH!!

I was referred to Dr. Eddy for medication management by my therapist a few years ago. I admit that…read moreI was skeptical of med management vs. traditional therapy, but I find that Dr. Eddy is very informed and supportive. He is good at explaining the reasons for recommended medications or "tools" for a better, more productive life. He has an ease in his interactions that I appreciate.

First off, I must preface my review that I currently live in Vernon which, on a good day is a half…read morehour drive to Dr. Eddy's office...up to an hour on a bad day! That said, I would still continue as a patient of his regardless of the drive time or traffic. I see him for treatment of Adult ADHD and depression and his is head and shoulders above any other psychiatrist I have ever been to. He is professional, courteous and above all else, punctual! I cant tell you how many Dr.s i've had in the past who have made me wait, sometimes up to an hour, past our scheduled times. On occasion, i've even been taken early. He is young, personable, has a tremendous knowledge in his field and takes the time to explain how any prescriptions he writes work on the brain and any adverse side effects they may have. I dont feel like "patient 24601" during our sessions; he takes a moment to just see how i'm doing over all and asks about my family by name and now "...and how are things with your spouse and 2 dependents?" Definitely the best experience i have had with a doctor anywhere! His office isn't too far from West Hartford Center, which is a definite plus for when I need to get some shopping in before or after an appointment!

I have been seeing Dr. Hovey for the past few months to strengthen my relationship with my partner…read moreand have been very pleased with the results. He is very easy to talk to and put my fears at ease right away. I was going to see him when I lived in Connecticut through the recommendation of another patient of his but I moved to California and thought it wouldn't be possible. He was able to provide sessions by Skype and I was thrilled. Through these sessions I have gained the tools necessary to work on some communication issues I was having with my partner and now have a much stronger relationship with not only him but other close friends and family. I am very glad I decided to take this step in my life and have been very pleased with the results. Much more work to go but am very happy so far.
