Waccamaw Center For Mental Health

“I am not sure why there are bad reviews. But my daughter receives treatment here and the staff has been above and beyond and everyone has been friendly. It's been a long journey trying to find the right treatment, and this place has been a blessing. I would recommend over and over again. People need to realize mental health practices are hard to come by and people who take their time to help others isn't an easy job. So if someone is rude, maybe think for second, that they might be going through something too. Help isn't always suppose to be easy but it's a step that will lead you to a better path. I'm no counselor just an egineer mom.”

“I received treatment here. It was nice that they have a sliding scale, for financial struggles but that's about the best thing I can say. The front staff are not kind at all, especially on the way out. except for the girl at the check in desk. Then I finally get back there. They put me on a bunch of meds that I did want to try, but then treat me so weird when I'm experiencing side effects and refuse to come up with any suggestions that don't sound worse, and Everytime Im having an normal, real life reaction to a very sad or difficult thing I've been through, my therapist won't talk to me, she cares more about her paperwork, and only acts like a therapist when I start crying.both my doctor and my therapist also threatens to put me in hospital or asks if I'm suicidal when that wasn't even thought about or brought up even. My sister died. She was killed in a car crash, I don't want to die. I miss my sister why is that so hard to understand? I'm paying you to understand. Jesus. Don't go here.”

“The worst, most unprofessional , uncaring and inattentive staff. My daughter was sent here after an incident and more often then not times her therapist only gave her 10 minutes at most but still charged for the full hour. When therapy was provided it was ineffective and more harmful then good. Grossly overpriced. They will push for you tonhave multiple sessions a week. Do not waste your time and money at this facility.”

“A darker lady with short hair who was not working the front desk but kept coming in and out was extremely mean. The wait was incredibly long, and they do not have a good onboarding system for new patients. I had to see four different people and never even made it to a therapist before feeling so uncomfortable that I had to back out. On top of that, the building had a strong cigarette smoke smell, which made the experience even worse. The waiting room was also freezing. And they made me fill out the same form twice and asked me the question on the forms.”
