Providers For Healthy Living

I go to Stephanie Williamson virtually, and I absolutely adore her. I am a firm believer that everyone can benefit from a safe space to talk things out, whether you think you need medication or not. She is always pleasant and makes sure that she thoroughly explains why she is considering any changes in medication. Stephanie also has an amazing sense of humor. She is the first medication provider that has ever made me feel like she cares about me.

Stephanie is a caring provider that creates a safe space for patients to have autonomy and learn about how to improve their mental health and well being! Highly recommend !!!!!

I realize that five star reviews are rare, and even too obliging for most places, but Providers for Healthy Living genuinely aided me with coming as far as I have with my feelings and self esteem more than any other clinic, and I always felt that I could talk to my therapists about anything and they were always there to listen and help, even when my parents were never there for me. Unfortunately I was dismissed from my medication management there because I was struggling with my anxiety and kept going to the ER with severw trouble breathing and had to go back on my SSRI against my prescriber's wishes. I know my body better than anyone else and how i feel. Since then, I haven't had severe panic attacks even though I still struggle with PTSD and large memory and attention issues. I only blame myself though and gained a lot of tools to make me a better individual from Providers.

Editing this because a year ago when I posted this they called me and just asked me to delete the rating so it wouldn't bring down their "reputation". I didn't find out now that that is unethical. The providers did not listen, were unsympathetic, incorrectly diagnosed me, and just sucked. Nurse Shipman told me to stop being hysterical and calm down when I scheduled an emergency appointment because my provider was not available. I did have very good experiences with Provider Kelsey Russel though. Just overall very negative experiences with the LLC. The staff should be more trauma informed, and educated on ADHD in adults and girls, and understand how harmful it can be to assume "drug seeking behavior". I am glad I am established with another provider, because PFHL does lots of harm and little good.

It is not enough to have good doctors in the practice, it is equally important to have kind and friendly staffs. I’m extremely dissatisfied with the office staffs and how the communication letters are formatted. If a practice is dealing with mental illness of its patients, empathy and communication is essential. The patient care includes physicians and their office employees.

Note: I'm revising this review because the owner and office manager reached out to help me with my experience and I was very pleased with their assistance. I truly loved my provider she retired and have enjoyed my interaction with my new provider! There was a communication difference between myself and some of the office staff members which was later addressed when I sent feedback to Providers for Healthy Living. I am glad that I no longer feel the need to find another provider as the location is excellent with great parking and a very nicely furnished office that is comfortable for patients. **Please note that it is important to be on time for appointments, and give plenty of notice if you need to make changes. That is standard courtesy, which I respect.

I could not be happier with Providers for Health Living, LLC. Nicole has done more to help me in the few months I've been a patient there than several prior providers have over the course of more than 2 decades. My appointment wait time is almost nonexistent, everyone in the office is always kind, and the office environment is clean, up to date, and comfortable. I'm not to my forever perfect place as far as head-space is concerned, but I am confident the care I'm receiving at Providers for Healthy Living, LLC will continue to move me in the right direction. I would recommend them to anyone who needs emotional/mental health care.

Wish I could leave negative stars! This place is a scam! I had multiple issues with them in regards to scheduling. Numerous times I went in and they said that I wasn't on the schedule. The counselor saw me on a couple occasions and knew I was scheduled but the receptionist didn't have me on the schedule. I had to cancel my appointment on two different occasions because I had fuel lines that were leaking on my truck. I called and cancelled my appointment on those two occasions. The one I cancelled a couple days ahead because I knew my truck wouldn't be ready. The other I had to cancel the morning of because I had picked my truck up from the shop only to still have issues. It wasn't a problem for them to have scheduling issues but I wasn't allowed to. Not without being billed! They now have sent multiple charges to my credit report. I can only hope that even if one person reads this and goes elsewhere I've saved someone of potentially the same thing.

Edit: the response to my review I think definitely sums up the tone of my appointments l o l. This is my first review I have ever written because I feel so dejected after my experience here. It has been unfortunately my first negative experience in seeking mental health care. I felt ignored, and none of the people I talked to took the time to learn about me or my situation, and made no attempt to hide their thoughts that I was “faking it.” I greatly wish I was never referred here by my doctor.

Going to start with all the general office staff were very nice and helpful as they can be when being the messenger. My experience with Wes Weidle the physicians assistant at this location was beyond horrible. I had just come from inpatient and was looking to find a provider to take over my prescription. There the team of drs diagnosed me with bipolar type 2, borderline, and ADHD. I was put on a mood stablizer, Trileptal, that has helped me immensely. I took medical leave from work intending to return in a month. When I explained my symptoms and hospital experience to Wes, he was very certain that I do not have bipolar, because I was still able to sleep at the end of the night despite there being a decreased need for sleep. Okay, whatever, I'm really not too hung up on what you wanna call my diagnoses. He also said that the group as a whole does not rx Trileptal, which again okay. I asked about a different mood stabilizer, and he said, "we have absolutely no reason to put you on this consistent with your diagnoses. You should try an antidepressant." Even though the previous medication did *wonders* for me. I said no due to previous bad experiences with SSRIs, and he immediately took this as defiance. He said he would write a return to work letter for me. And we held off on med changes until we had genetic test results. After this I had called and asked to transfer to the psychiatrist, so I could see someone who is not a year out of grad school & has more experience actually prescribing medication. I was told this would be an internal transfer, and that it has been denied by Wes because I "was just mad that he wouldn't prescribe the specific meds". On the second visit, we looked at the genetic test results. Of the 20+ antidepressants tested, only 3 were "cleared" for me where as about a 1/3 of the antipsychotics would work and almost all of the mood stablizers including the one I had previously been on. Which is consistent with a bipolar type 2 reaction to medication. He still refused to rx me a mood stablizer & attempted to insist on an antidepressant that does not have a generic despite knowing I am not currently working. I recluctantly agreed to a children's ADHD med. During this time, my mental state declined significantly. When my work did receive my return to work letter, it had actually made no formal recommendation on whether or not I should return to work. When I spoke to the office manager about this, she sent him an email. The return email, which she read to me, was rude and petty. He was comfortable diagnosing me with borderline personality disorder after 2 visits but not giving a formal recommendation on my ability to work, which is beyond crazy. I was told echoing another reviewer who has bpd that there are no medications for bpd, which is simply untrue. I was told Wes confirmed with Dr. Hawke that I do not have bipolar, and when I asked how a doctor who has never seen me & is receiving information from a biased perspective can diagnosis me, I didn't get a clear response. I had my therapist of 3+ yr reach out to Wes herself to better explain my symptoms. He did not return her phone call. When I mentioned this, they simply asked for an email or fax "because he is back to back with clients all day". Like literally any other therapist including my own. Wes has no regard for a patient's individual health, no desire to work and coordinate with professionals outside of this office, and essentially used borderline personality disorder as a synonym for "difficult and defiant." If you have any strange concoction of mental illness outside of depression or anxiety, I absolutely do NOT recommend them, and it is my firm believe that Wes Weidle should not be prescribing medication to anyone. If you are looking for places to go for medication, I had much, much better luck at Equaitas. They were able to get me in same day, openly listened to everything I said, and were more than willing to coordinate with my therapist.
