UNC Department of Psychiatry

"This program provides services that are inarguably valuable and greatly needed in our community. Individual people there genuinely care and want to help. Unfortunately, the clinic’s overarching policies/restrictions regarding particular aspects of care/medication management handcuff its ability to appropriately and/or effectively treat patients suffering with anxiety/PTSD/personality disorders. Approaches to care are rigid, relative to those of outside institutions I’ve had personal experience with, and the program’s inability to treat patients as individuals — with individual psychiatric requirements/concerns — makes it difficult for me to recommend to those who are in need of a nuanced, more complex treatment plan. If you’re just searching for open group therapy sessions or community engagement, this is a wonderful resource. But if you’re in need of an empowered individual practitioner, properly equipped to help you navigate illness or learn to cope with symptoms/mitigate risk factors, then you might start out looking elsewhere."
