Mental Health Providers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana

As with anything in life you ONLY get what YOU put into something, including mental health. I WAS skeptical about embarking on this with Beacon only because my inpatient stay many years ago with them was forced. Everyone that I have encountered in my 3 day a week day program has changed my perspective. From Mrs. Lisa, Alyssa all the way through Ms. Jessie and Patricia. I'm enjoying my days a lot more.

Very concerning that the employee that does screenings here does not understand the basic difference between a psychologist, psychiatrist, or a lcsw etc.

Horrible, they keep making me pay for this class and when it time to join I don’t receive no email or nothing for me to get in contact with them I have to text their email like 40 times horrible business

The doctor I saw, Kwame Buabeng, tried pushing his religious beliefs on me. I told him I don’t practice religion and don’t really believe in some sort of higher power. He began to explain that it wasn’t right and that I needed to believe in something. While it is everyone’s right to practice whatever religion or non-religion they would like, as a doctor it is NOT your place to try and push beliefs on your patients. Also, I expressed concerns with the medication he wanted to prescribe, saying that some of my family has been on the medication and I was worried that it could have the same effect on me. He blatantly disregarded every concern I had, not explaining a thing to me about the medication. Then I was walked to the front desk and pressured to schedule another appointment. I could be at my breaking point, at rock bottom, and I still would not schedule with them. DO NOT schedule with them. This is a big city; there are plenty of psychiatrists who will treat you better and who will actually care! This was the worst experience with a doctor of this kind, with the terrible bedside manner and the intimidating vibe that the place gives off. I will never recommend in a million years that a person go to this place.

This is an institution that has been ordered by State government not to promote important vaccines. Why is the State so desperate to watch its own citizens die? Because if the people who need public health die then they can cut more funding. I am sure all of this arranged by some dudes on a golf course somewhere.

let their student to do the work. But these students will make up plots to make a simple problem to be a complicated one for adding content of their thesis. They are not honesty doctors. Don't waste your money here.
