I was hesitant about the group therapy aspect, but I have ended up loving it. The environment is so accepting, encouraging, diverse, inclusive, and safe to share as much of your story and challenges as you'd like. The group therapist, Deja, is phenomenal and provides amazing therapeutic care and has helped me process and overcome so many things I never thought I could/would. I also received medication management from one of their PMHNP providers, Sheela, who truly listened to me and immediately got to work on how to support my stability and mental, emotional, and physical health through medication and other supports. They provided case management services as well and gave me an extensive list of resources I could utilize to further support my journey. The individual therapy sessions I had with Deja were so helpful and supportive, and even the front desk staff were so helpful, responsive, and supportive. I simply cannot recommend this office & their providers enough.

I would very much recommend this place to anyone looking for help regarding mental health issues…read more But I think it is incredibly important to understand that there are many branches of mental healthcare. This place specializes in psychiatric care. Psychiatry is the medical specialty devoted to the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental disorders. Psychiatry is usually comprised of both a psychotherapy, and psychiatric medication aspect. If you are looking for a different approach than one that involves being put on a psychiatric medication with therapy then I suggest you find a place that only does therapy. Or bring up concerns to a provider here. But it has always been my experience that the providers at this clinic have prescribed within reason, and for the right reasons. In the interest of being non-bias I looked up provider profiles on ProPublica to check for potential conflicts of interest. I found that one provider's most prescribed drug is Ambilify. While that could potentially be a sign of influence from pharmaceutical money. The statistics are self reported to ProPublica and is something that they have been candid about. Also Ambilify has been shown to be an effect add-on medication for many manic depressive mood disorders that has no generic alternative currently. ProPublica only shows the top prescribed brand name medication so in all likely hood it is because of the lack of generic that there is even a ProPublica record for a provider from this clinic. My provider has always been honest and forward with me about my treatment and has gone out of their way to accommodate me so as to benefit my treatment. So if you are looking for psychiatric treatment then I'd recommend this clinic. But be informed about what you are receiving as treatment. They provide therapy in commonly with the addition of medication, to the best of their professional medical expertise. Don't judge performance poorly if you expected something different than psychiatric care from a psychiatric clinic. Ignorance of what psychiatry is and isn't, is not grounds for a poor review. I believe that other patients probably think positively of the care provided here as well, but with a public stigma attached to mental health it isn't something people tend to want to give a review about. So please don't let a bad review dissuade you from seeking help from this clinic. I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the providers at Associates for Psychiatric and Mental Health.

I have been actively engaged in therapy for my adult life, and seeing Jolene weekly since 2019.

If you want a knowledgeable, kind, caring provider she is at the top of the list.

I followed my psychiatrist when he switched to Pacific Phoenix as I really enjoyed working with…read morehim. He led to me being diagnosed and medicated, which has greatly improved my life. I have been on the same medication, with one increase in dose, for 1 year and 3 months. He is currently on leave, and I have not had an appointment in some time. I submitted a routine refill 2 days ago and was informed today that Pacific Phoenix would not authorize my medication without a new appointment, with a new provider. I learned on the phone that I need to make an appointment every 9 months for authorization on my medication, and they waited until my prescription was almost out to bottle neck and prevent me from refilling. This was NEVER communicated prior. This is a medication that gives withdrawal when not taken, as a physiatrist office should be well aware of. If this process had been communicated and given ample notice in advance, that would have been fine, but now my health is jeopardized, and I will likely have to take time off work to deal with an oncoming preventable illness. It feels like an act of greed, and that they do not care about the wellbeing of their patients. Would NOT recommend.

I have experienced some very dismissive psychiatrists in the past, but here at Pacific Phoenix TMS, I felt heard, and I felt like they actually wanted to help me. The office manager is always willing to help out whenever she can. And the receptionists are always so helpful! I highly recommend this practice!

Took my son to see Natalie Chambers & she saw him for 6/2017-12/2018. My son suffers from…read moredepression & is special needs. Regarding his diagnosis for depression, it wasn't Natalie whom made the diagnosis, nor, at any time refer him to a psychiatrist or medical doctor for treatment. My son was prescribed with anti depressants from his G.P. when he mentioned his extreme depression & thoughts of suicide. As a mental health professional it is mandatory that she report any possible life threatening/suicidal tendencies a patient is exhibiting to another professional and/or his parents or guardians if he consented which he does & would have if it was necessary to discuss his treatment with me. However, Natalie did NO SUCH THING! As a matter of fact with the exception of PAYING THE BILL Natalie & I had no contact whatsoever regarding my son's progression with his mental state. It seems to me that when a child of 16 is having thoughts of suicide it would warrant mandatory reporting, or, at the very least referral to further treatment, &, at the very least collaboration of SOME TYPE between Natalie & a prescribing medical doctor since his depression is organic & medication is the only option for an organic depression, especially, as extreme as my son's is. In May of 2018 my son went to OHSU CDRC for full autism spectrum testing, &, only after a full day of numerous types of testing the ENTIRE team of drs. urgently recommended a higher dosage of my son's antidepressant meds due to its intensity that it effected EVERY aspect of his mental state/capabilities to a degree that it wasn't possible to get an accurate result with any/all his tests. Natalie had been seeing him for almost a year & NOT ONCE did she address such an OBVIOUS issue that a panel of doctors who saw him for a 6 hour day were able to diagnose & address with my son, &, myself the sense of urgency to raise his dosage asap because of their deep concern over his suicidal thoughts & lack of motivation in every aspect of his life. It seemed to me that Natalie was more concerned over my insurance coverage than anything else. If I could rate 000 's, I would.
