I can't stand the way they treat the mentally ill. My therapist wasn't great at all she talked more about herself then anything. As for the group on cherry street. yeah it's a really bright idea to bunch a group of bipolar people together and the staff are not nice people they are there to collect their money they could care less about the people.

Better Places to work – As a former employee of South Bay Mental Health in Brockton I found several things to be very frustrating. First I too was told that there would be plenty of referrals. I was also told that they would try to keep me in the Abington/ Rockland area and maybe have some cases in Brockton. However this was not true... Most of my cases were in Brockton and I didnt mind so much because I loved my patients. Secondly supervision meetings were extremely frustrating for a number of different reasons. Having no e... read more

Unethical for patients and employees – I am writing this for any therapists out there who may be doing a search on South Bay Mental Health Reviews. There used to be quite a few valid and negative ones on a site called Job Vent that have been deleted. Turnover rate is very high at this company. Clients often commented to me that I was their third or fourth counselor. Therapists are often just out of school and given cases way beyond their limited experience. Supervision is given in group form once a week (which you are not pa... read more

I could have gone to the vet and had better treatment – As a frequent flyer of the mental health system, I found South Bay to have less than acceptable services. My therapist was nice but frequently completed her paperwork during the session which I found distracting and unprofessional. I suffer from Bipolar Disorder and wound up in a full blown manic episode because I couldn't see the psychiatrist when I needed to. I could have just had my medication increased but instead I wound up in the psych ward because I thought I cou... read more

Unethical – Same review as "Fed Up with SBMHC" All written is true. Read before you work for or receive services. 

Fed Up with SBMHC

Unethical – Please read this before you work for, or receive services from, South Bay. Counselors are poorly treated and the turnover rate is almost 100%. Clients have to see one therapist after another because everyone keeps leaving or gets fired. Do you know why counselors spend your sessions doing paperwork? Because they don't get paid outside of the session. That means if you are approved for 12 sessions, you can count on at least 4 being solely about paperwork and most of the other sessions as well. SBMHC keeps pumping ... read more

Worst experience in 20+ yrs – I've received care for over 20 yrs for depression and went to SBMH because insurance covered it. This has been the *worst* experience I have ever had. My therapists were fine, but newly out of school and were not therapeutically supervised (met w/ a supervisor 1x a week to discuss productivity, it would seem rather than particular issues of clients). I was told that in order to see a prescriber, I needed to be in therapy a month. After that month, they would not submit a referral until I obtaine... read more
