Find Mental Health Providers Across Illinois

I was very fortunate to have found Sandra H. Kath-Lanterman by chance. She is very professional yet seems to be your friend at the same time. She has made a difference in my life. I know she will continue to touch others lives for the good if they give her a chance. The Summit Counseling Group is lucky to have her as a member of their staff.

My girlfriend had a mental health crisis and we didn't know what to do, so we gave this facility a try. Adrian and Nikki (sorry if I misspelled your names) were extremely helpful! She is now feeling much better and I am not sure if it would have been this easy without their help!

Most unprofessional ‘care’ I have received. Dr. Ibrahim knows next to nothing about the medications she’s managing and when you try to advocate for yourself they either ignore your concerns or treat you like a child and attempt to scold you. Patronizing and condescending messages. No regard for your schedule or store hours when requesting refills. Would rather treat existing pathology by adding more based on a leading interview with a half baked conclusion already decided. When I did request a transfer of care they tried to set me up with someone with even worse reviews and if I read correctly was under investigation for some professional misdeeds.

Dr. Azhar has been extremely helpful for me over the past few years that I’ve been seeing him. If I have any concerns I am able to just call the office and he will work with me without an appointment if he doesn’t feel that one is necessary. He can be hard to get an appointment with, but I only see him every few months so it hasn’t been a problem for me.

A family member has been here 3 times. The nurses, doctor and staff in the hospital were amazing during the initial intake and stay. They took great care of my family member, who participated in group and individual counseling and was able to communicate regularly with us. We really liked the psychiatrist on staff who provided care during the stay. The caseworker also really advocated for my loved one and was amazing at facilitating a spot in a good inpatient program that was well suited for her specific needs. We would definitely recommend seeking care here!

If you are considering Healthcare Alternative Systems (H.A.S.), I strongly urge you to look elsewhere — any other provider will likely serve you with more professionalism, accountability, and basic respect. I was referred to H.A.S. for a standard outpatient program — a simple 20-hour requirement — and what I experienced instead was a chaotic, mismanaged, and clinically questionable operation. My repeated requests for signed agreements, discharge documentation, and written justification for “higher level of care” recommendations were either delayed, ignored, or handled with condescending excuses. The program itself is disorganized, and the staff are either overwhelmed or simply careless. Despite attending group sessions, I was penalized for absences based on their internal record-keeping — even though they had no formal tracking mechanism communicated to clients. Their reasoning for discharge was inconsistent, vague, and built on incomplete assessments, including: • Positive alcohol test results that had no contextual explanation • Clinicians labeling me as disruptive for participating while working — despite never being told this was an issue • “Confused thoughts and erratic behavior” cited without a single formal diagnosis or mental health evaluation All of this culminated in their attempt to escalate my case to a higher level of care, which appears to be a convenient way for them to generate more billable hours rather than actually support clients. This is not a facility that works in the patient’s best interest. It is an assembly-line operation, quick to discharge and slow to respond — unless you’re threatening legal action. I have every email, record request, and contradiction documented. If you value your time, your sanity, and your legal standing — stay away from H.A.S. There are far more ethical, organized, and respectful treatment centers in Chicago. This one should be audited, investigated, and publicly held accountable for its practices.

It's not a good, genuine overall experience, especially Doctor related. Doctors are all indoctrinated and do not believe in the appropriate method to treat patients in a long-term manner and without hesitation. It's hard to believe that a person attends this establishment in hopes of getting decent at best medical care. Staff are decent people, but the doctors are a whole different story. I feel sorry for people in that city.. The medical/health care system is broken in that state. They are completely misinformed and misjudge a patients past medical history and evaluate you on a very inexperienced level. Meaning Illinois-

I’m writing this because I want Shameka White PA-C to know how much she was genuinely appreciated by both patients and staff. She consistently treated people with kindness, patience, and respect, and she truly listened to concerns rather than rushing through appointments. Her compassion and professionalism made a real difference in the experience people had when seeking care. Providers like her are rare, and anyone who has the opportunity to work with or be treated by her in the future will be very lucky. I hope she truly knows this.

Such a great experience here! The staff was kind, professional, and made me feel comfortable right away. My cleaning was done thoroughly, and I would absolutely recommend this office to anyone in need of dental care!

Worst receptionist I've ever encountered, Brittany. Told me she spoke with my primary care provider but she didn't. She was extremely rude. Definitely not someone that you should have to encounter when sick. Rural health lost my husband and me as a patient because of the receptionist.

I honestly don’t know where to begin, Hoyleton Youth and Family Services has been an incredible blessing to me & my family. During an extremely challenging situation for my children and me, their team stepped in with compassion and efficiency, offering support without hesitation. A special thank you to Mrs. Andrea, who went above and beyond to ensure our well-being when we moved from our home. She consistently checked in on us, making sure we were safe, cared for, and had everything we needed. Her kindness and dedication made a world of difference during such a difficult period. Hoyleton’s commitment to helping families like mine is truly remarkable. I’m so grateful for their assistance and highly recommend their services to anyone in need of support.

I’ve had an extremely frustrating experience with this clinic due to repeated breakdowns in basic care coordination. After my child’s original provider rescheduled multiple times and then left the clinic, we were reassigned to another provider. Since then, getting a routine prescription refill for a psychiatric medication has been unnecessarily difficult. Multiple refill requests were submitted by the pharmacy and through the patient portal, yet staff repeatedly gave conflicting information—saying the prescription was sent, then later saying they couldn’t find any request at all. Front desk staff stated they were “messaging the doctor,” but there was no clear follow-through or accountability, and no one could explain why the prescription wasn’t being filled. As a result, my child missed school due to lack of medication. Communication was inconsistent, guidance on filing a grievance was unclear, and I was left doing the work of tracking and escalating what should have been a simple refill. Mental health care requires reliability and continuity. Unfortunately, this clinic did not provide that. I would strongly caution parents to consider whether this level of disorganization is acceptable when timely care truly matters.

They are so rude! The lady at the front desk did not want to give me her name because she knows she was in the wrong. I got the names of Sarah and Jarret Yu and they are so unprofessional. They do not care for their patients here. I will be switching my clinic. They canceled my appointment without letting me know! I cleared my schedule for that day and time for apparently no reason.

Horrible. Not only is it hard to find a psychiatrist appointment, when you finally get it, they would have you waiting for half an hour for nothing. I make an appointment waited three weeks for my first visit. Arrived 15 minutes earlier as recommended. Nobody approached me. I was in the waiting room for 25 minutes and was never called. Hope you don’t have to deal with this. I won’t ever come back.

If you’re a female telling your story and is in the room with DETECTIVE MCCLAY!! Make sure you have a man with you or a lady witness! Because he would make you feel uncomfortable by lying on you! Nothing was done about my case! He hasn’t reached out to me it’s been at least 3 years! If you sexualized me from my childhood just say so sick man!!! When I was explaining my story I would say “you know” now this man don’t know me from a can of paint! He had the nerve to tell me “what you’re not going to do is come in here and insult me” I said oh I’m sorry what did I say?! Well guess what y’all ?! He couldn’t say nothing! Want to know why?! Because I’ve never said nothing towards him! Now how did you get insulted over words that never passed my lips?!!! I’m not here speaking out against you, so why get offended! Well in the psychological world… it’s called A GUILTY Consciousness!! So thanks for giving me the heads up on how you really treat women behind closed doors! When I tell you I have been suffering from anxiety since that day, it’s not even funny! All of you will reap what you sow! Look me up by my name because you will remember me sir! I won’t stop until I get the justice I deserve!!! Also he didn’t even offer a female to be in the room with me due to what I was giving my statement about, to ensure I was comfortable. He’s dark skinned heavy set and very passively aggressive!

Mr.Allen may mean well and seems to be a sweet guy.. but he is a deeply ineffective counselor. I attended 4 family sessions with him and each session was more useless than the last. Coming to Allen's family counseling center did more harm than good. He should probably consider retiring as his process and approach is vastly dated.

If I could give zero stars I would. She does not listen what’s so ever and comes off like she just doesn’t care. Went in for side pain and she didn’t even bother feeling or listening to stomach to make sure nothing was swollen. The absolute worst! I wouldn’t take my dogs here!

Shawnee Behavioral health is a joke. Waiting months for an appt to be told it was cancelled over a phone call I had to make to them is ridiculous. Then to be told that they are scheduled 3 months out is even more ridiculous. You all should be ashamed of yourself and the way you handle patients. I called integrated health in Carterville and they got me in 3 days after I called. I don't not recommend the behavioral health services at Shawnee. Disgusting.
