Westside Empowerment Center

"Horrible service. From my personal experience. They do not care about the patients, only the gov’t funds they receive from having the patient on their roster. I was a patient here for a little under 6 months and got no help whatsoever until finally I was dismissed. I made a very valid complaint that the person assigned to my treatment wasn’t helping my mental health and they were basically like ‘find another place then’. Just like that I was gone. Without my Meds to stabilize moods and the office refused to confirm my disorder and sign a form (which could only be signed by a medical professional.) I simply needed my reduced fare MARTA card back after it expired. My therapist, Rashanda was useless. She would actually tell me what I could and could not discuss during our sessions. If I said the wrong thing, I was being ‘difficult’. I was criticized for speaking up for myself. Her supervisor, Tameka, even more useless. With an unwelcoming attitude. They’re rude and inconsiderate. Initially, I was hopeful and thought it would be a good place to seek help. I was assigned a therapist and she was gone a week later before we even started our treatment. Next I was assigned a different therapist, Rashanda who was still in training. Training!!! And it showed. Talking to her was like talking to a random person without a psychology degree. “That sucks” in different wording was basically her response to everything. I did not feel comfortable with her as a therapist. I’ve seen a lot of mental health professionals over the years and this place is the first to treat me with such disrespect. I suffered from a relapse and went back to my old ways thanks to their mistreatment."
