I have never given a business a negative review but I am very unhappy with the way this place does business. My daughter is depressed after the death of her boyfriend and I made several attempts to call and schedule an appointment. They have no receptionist and never returned my calls, even after I said that if they are not accepting new patients to please let me know. We have insurance, but I also would have been able to pay for each session if that was the problem. For counselors, they don't seem very concerned with someone's mental health.

This place is very unprofessional and i
wouldn’t suggest it at all. i’ve called 6 times
over the past three weeks and each time i’ve called i get sent straight to voicemail and i’ve left a voicemail with all my information each time and i’ve never received a phone call back. for a place that specializes in mental health they aren’t doing a very good job at helping people in need. what if i was suicidal and they never answer my calls? if they want to run a business saying they can help people with mental illness and not answer anyone’s calls then close it down. i called another counseling

If I could give zero stars I would. I have attempted to contact Counselor Linda Heiden Childers twice in the past two weeks. When you call it goes to her voicemail asking you to leave a message with your contact information, which I did, I never received a phone call back either time. Very unprofessional. If she can't return a simple call, then what makes her equipped to provide a patient with good mental care. UPDATE: After posting this review I did received a return phone call from her. I'm not sure if she was aware of this review or it was just coincidence.

I have been to Southside Counseling Associates a few times now and can honestly give them five stars. They offer counseling services for many needs and have several independent practitioners here according to the brochure I picked up from the waiting room as well as their website.
I have personally been seeing Richard (Rick) Payne and am happy so far. He is easy to talk to and has been quite helpful. I found him through a Catholic psychologist whom I could not see because of my insurance issues. Thankfully, Mr. Payne is able to take patients with insurance through the Healthy Indiana Plan. Prices
