Harsha Behavioral Center Reviews ( 146 )

  1. Such a traumatic place. I was here at 17 & was treated so terribly! I left with more trauma then I had going into. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. Stay away from here

  2. Front desk acts like it is such an inconvenience to return a missed call. Acted like she didn’t even care about the well being of my child had an attitude and dismissed my worries. Positive she put me on hold instead of transferring me to …

  3. Not allowing a person to smoke cigarettes during one of their worst times I’d cruel! That being said if I didn’t smoke I would go there again but because of the smoking policy I’ll never go again

  4. Do not bring your children here!!!! All they want his your money…The wanted to medicate my son and he wasn’t aggressive, disruptive or didn’t want to harm himself or others…They got mad because I wanted to get him discharge!!! Don’t go there!

  5. Called Harsha to get my son seen for physical and mental behavior and they told me they won’t see him!! Seriously that’s what this place is for and they won’t see and autistic child with physical violent outbust and psychological issues?? Will no one help my child?!

  6. Unprofessional, under staffed, and did not get all of the clothing back. Therapist never called for any updates or information. Our teen came out angrier than when he went in. This place is a joke!

  7. For the time i was there it was under staffed. But the people working were super nice and helpful i say they need to get more hands on stuff for some kids that are better with that coping skill.

  8. This place is awful. I was there in 2015 for a few days. I was there for SOCIAL ANXIETY and they put on my record that I self harmed and was suicidal. False things like this can really mess up your future and I’m extremely displeased I …

  9. After having a family member needing help here, the rest of the staff were great, but Courtney had an extremely bad attitude from the start. Very rude to all of us, from the literal second of seeing us.

  10. Michelle is amazing She was very consistent with always checking in with me and letting me know how my daughter was doing !!! All the staff do a great job with communication!!!!

  11. It’s a hot mess the techs are really nice but staff can sometimes be slow and lazy and the doctors definitely didn’t really listen to me and I got mis diagnosed and put on meds that made me super easily agitated and I personally would rather never step foot in there again

  12. I watched my brother leave for this place on Tuesday evening for “rehab.” He was released on Saturday morning. No alcoholic is better in three days…period. He was asking for a cigarette before we even got 10 miles. What kind of “rehab” lasts for only 3 days?

  13. Awesome facility Michelle Wetnight is the best care coordinator and does an awesome job, she makes sure those who need taken care of are! Best therapist there would be Stacey!

  14. If I could provide a lower rating I would. Harsha is essentially a rec room where they have orderlies that babysit at-risk teens. They allow them enough time to Max out the insurance benefit (usually 3 to 5 days), prescribe them an ssri, …

  15. They lie to children telling them you will be here for 8 more days when the admitting nurse said he would be released Saturday threatened to call cps if removed early. Kid was not a threat to himself or anyone else. Client was released to …

  16. Stacy was great during training for ASD, efficient, positive and highly informed. I asked a million questions and I feel like I could’ve asked a million more without bothering her!

  17. I was put in for PTSD nightmares, but my papers say I was admitted for suicidal and self harm ideations (not true) …I have bipolar disorder, Generalized Anxiety, depression, PTSD, and mild OCD. I’m well able to function (mostly) normally, …

  18. It pained me the entire time I was there. I was there with 14 other adolescents from the age or 13-17. It was horrendous. No one was receiving help, and they had us all on different anti depressants and we had psych evaluations while there, …

  19. 0!! They allowed my friend to get bullied during her time there. Pick literally any other place. Not helpful, actually can be harmful. The people that work there make me sick.

  20. This place was warned about my triggers and what I do when triggered prior to accepting me. Once I arrived at the facility the staff could not accommodate what sets off my triggers, and instead of trying to reduce the triggers they just …

  21. Both my sons have been here and the staff was amazing and listened to my concerns and those of my sons. I’ve had a positive experience every time! They were even flexible with visits as I lived three hours away and worked full time and went to college full time.

  22. My 84 year old Aunt with dementia was sent to Harshaw for what we were told was an act of aggression in a nursing home the end of July. Her 86 year old husband did not understand what happened or what was to happen. My Aunt walked, …

  23. Did wonders for grandaughter. I called to check on her two to three times a day the nurses and secretaries were very kind in giving me updates.. It was comforting talking with them as I was 150 miles away. I truly appreciate the Harha Center.

  24. I wish i never EVER let the hospital send my child here!!!! When i realized it was over 4 hrs away from our home, and not having reliable transportation to visit (on top of my child crying and begging to be closer to home and felt more …

  25. When I went their I made amazing bonds with the other kids that I would have never of been able to. This place reminds you that everyone has problems and things aren’t as bad as they seem. Your experience there really connects with why your …

  26. Harsha provided excellent mental health treatment. Care coordinator Michelle was kind and easily accessible, and Stacy was very therapeutic and answered all my questions.

  27. Michelle is amazing at her job as a care coordinator, she puts her heart into everything she does and always puts a smile on everyone’s face. Thank you Michelle and Stacy for all you do at Harsha.

  28. pulled my son out. dropped his psch meds cold turkey and shoved new ones in him setting off a 2 day long aggression episode which he had never had before, then had to sedate him to a zombie. 2 days of calls to multiple answering machines …

  29. We have had a wonderful experience here. Michelle was great to talk to and was very open about my child’s progress. Any other staff that I talked to were pleasant and always answered any question when I called.

  30. This place is truly a gem for the mental health community in Indiana and even Illinois. Dr. Harshawat truly cares about his patients and is an expert. I was impressed with his extensive knowledge and past experience as a PMDD researcher, …

  31. Working for Harsha has been an amazing opportunity. i love my job, co-workers, and superiors. Our staff is professional and so caring. Has definitely been my favorite job yet. The job is very rewarding.

  32. I liked the facility
    However, I was a patient there and they “accidentally” gave my personal items to another patient that was being discharged and now can’t locate them. My …

  33. My 12 year old autistic son was treated at Harsha for 2 weeks. All the staff showed great care and compassion. This was a very temporary fix to a long road of behaviors and aggression. We felt like he was well cared for and safe.Our only regret was the lack of communication with the treatment team.

  34. Harsha Behavioral Center has a good reputation, not only in our community, but throughout the state. From the top to the bottom, and bottom to the top, the staff are onboard with providing the best quality care to their clients. I would …

  35. I have worked for a few long term care facilities and have utilized Harsha for some of our residents. My wife’s grandpa even went there when having issues. I can’t say enough good about the place, staff and the care they give. I have …

  36. Place is great for my son helped us tremendously they go far and beyond best place that we have found yet my son has been in many places there’s such shortage of good help out there Bree who does referrals my son needs residential treatment …

  37. The crew at Harsha are a very professional bunch. They know what they are doing. They are great at communication; especially Michelle. She will go above and beyond to cater for you and your needs. Two thumbs up keep up the good work!!

  38. I went here 6 months ago. I was hit all the time by other patients in this facility, and no one did any thing. And I tried attempting and one of the staff said they wouldn’t tell. I am better now. But only because I moved on from him and learned that I was getting better for my self, not for any one else.

  39. I was a patient here in 2018, I can say that it is a horrible experience. The staff were mostly okay some issues, there was no communication on my treatment plan or therapy. I never received one on one therapy like my family wanted. Near …

  40. Absolutely horrific. I stayed for 7 days. The staff and nurses were aggressive. There was this little boy, age 11, and if he said something they didn’t like they’d put him in the restraint chair. Staff behavior was horrendous. None of them …

  41. The ladies at the front desk are so polite and understanding. Paul is awesome also and make sure we get every thing we need. I have never felt so welcomed before. Very happy with our experience

  42. The only negative thing I have to say about this place is the DBT therapy. They made me sit in a room for 8 hours & take notes for a mental illness I don’t have, because I showed one or two symptoms. Other than that, food was good. Staff …

  43. This place is a joke! My daughter was put there to get help with medication. She had been there 2 other times in less than 10 months for suicide attempts. They send her home with no medication and say her diagnosis is manipulating behavior. …

  44. My step daughter left here literally a zombie. Couldn’t even walk, couldn’t speak, we had to help her into the house. Then we realize her shoes are missing. Then we read her paperwork and they’re calling her by another name. They called in …

  45. One star ONLY because I had too! My sweet grandmother was sent here for two weeks. She was currently in a nursing home due to dementia and due to “behavioral issues”(which we never exactly got the final words on what exactly she did..) she …

  46. I was a patient here for a few days, and it was the worst few days of my life. The techs do not make you feel welcome and they did not give me the help and support I needed. The nurses were not very helpful, and none of the staff looked …

  47. My 11yo daughter was discharged from here completely snowed, unable to recognize her own parents, uttering grunts and sounds, with tremors in her arms and hands from being completely over-medicated. She also had crusted sores all over her …

  48. My husband was in Harsha’s Savera Geriatric Unit for Alzheimer’s behavioral care and received excellent care by true caring professionals. The doctors do amazing work here and the staff is all wonderful. Luke would call me every day during …

  49. Michelle Michelle!! She has been just super this week! I’ve received a call every day with updates and info about how things are going for my son, and she is always positive and encouraging! She believes in what she does and it shows! Thank you, to you and all the staff at Harsha for doing what you do!!

  50. Harsha just allowed me to pick up a patient without asking me for identification, even after I told them they didn’t ask me; and even though they had never met or seem me before. Thier RN was incredible rude and condescending over the …

  51. Worst decision I have ever made for my son to take him to this facility. Lack of communication I called multiple times and was told contractionary information. Out of 6 days I spoke with a doctor once even though it was requested multiple …

  52. I have nothing but great things to say about this facility! Great staff and doctors who really know their stuff! One person who especially sticks out among most is the Care Coordinator, Michelle. She is easy to communicate with and is …

  53. Harsha Behavioral Center OUTPATIENT services is a JOKE. Their staff is RUDE, and VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. When working with parents with children who have mental health issues, compassion and understanding should be one of your strong suits. …

  54. We heard about Harsha Behavioral Center through word of mouth from nursing homes in Illinois. In our area, nursing homes are no longer sending patients to St. Louis, because St. Louis failed them including my father. My father is in the …

  55. My 11 year old son stayed here after self harming. We had been waiting for months and months for a psych eval and he was in therapy prior. Once he was here, they did the psych eval right away and we had our diagnosis. The psychiatrist …

  56. Having to make the decision to put your child into a facility is difficult. But getting the opportunity to speak with someone like our Care Coordinator Heide, was a true blessing. She called us every day to give an update and helped with …

  57. My niece went here. They didn’t bath her for FIVE DAYS!!!! They said she refused her medication. She is under the age of 18 and they never contacted the parents about it. They would promise to let her call in evening and half the time it …

  58. I have worked in a professional manner with Harsha now for close to four years and I am very pleased with there partnership. Harsha has gone above and beyond to assist Team of Mercy in times of need for our survivors. I have watched them …

  59. Just got discharged from here. Most of the techs are good at their job. Some seem like they’re there just to collect a paycheck. Sometimes I felt like I wasn’t being taken seriously and was spoken to like a child. Other than that, no complaints from me.

  60. Stacy was very knowledgeable and helpful regarding a situation we had in our family. She listened and understood exactly where we were coming from and helped guide us in a good direction.

  61. As an EMT who is often tasked with bringing patients to Harsha, I’m always impressed with the level of care this facility provides. They’re always willing to list to our reports, and factor in our observations. I feel safe leaving my …

  62. Most caring team. They provided help to my daughter. Since being in there we have seen improvements in her. Even others are able to see them. They did keep us informed. The Dr herself called me, and the therapist was very helpful. Therapist …

  63. It had been years since I required an inpatient stay, but after the year 2020, I ended up in the adult unit on January 1st of 2021. Having a pretty extensive history with the mental health system, I was truly impressed with the staff in all …

  64. My daughter has been there a few times . It’s always clean , she brings all her belongings back home ( which is amazing!) They work hard with her and are very responsive! Breanna has been her care coordinator and she is wonderful! She …

  65. My partner worked there until she had a no fault car accident .They fired her told her the job would be there when she was all cleared and they lied. She was on 6-3 because of our children and they did not offer or give any hope of it …

  66. From the facility to the staff I was impressed but the personal calls everyday from Michelle everyday with updates on my child were great. She was upbeat and a pleasure to speak with. I want to thank all the staff for their hard work and …

  67. i just got discharged today and it was fine most of the time except when patients kept freaking out and almost all of the adolescent unit got sick from the raw chicken. kaitlyn is the only person besides my therapist britney that i felt …

  68. I worked here for 3 years, and it definitely has it ups and down, only reason for 3 instead of 5. I got to work with some AMAZING people while there though. Breanna on the child unit was one of them. She’s always so nice and caring with the …

  69. Don’t have anything to compare it to but they helped me a lot and treated me very well. Good setup. Great people who I hope to never visit again lol If life was a video game my mental score drained to about 1. But they bandaged it up to a …

  70. Great communication and coordination of care!!! I was very nervous when my daughter needed to receive treatment so far from home, but every one there has been wonderful, especially the care coordinator, Michelle – who is awesome and called …

  71. Their staff varied from kind/intelligent to rude/stupid. My brother-in-law ranged from over-sedation to (documented) given the wrong medications. He received no essential medical care at Hersha. One especially rude staff person refused to share her name with me. My brother-in-law died shortly after his Hersha stay.

  72. If it was possible to get zero stars I would! I can say my child did not die while they were there but that’s about all I can say that’s a positive. It’s just another place that’s all about money they lied about her having a prescription at …

  73. I sent my 7yr old daughter back in June for a week over behavior issues. Her psychiatrist highly recommended this facility and I agreed to let her go. They did help us with proper diagnoses, but they sent her home worse than she went! They …

  74. this place is terrible. the only reason i’m giving it a 2 star is because some of the techs, specifically Godwin, Nina, Divine, and Coryanne. they actually cared about the patients. but, the communication here is horrible between therapists …

  75. Harsha has provided our family with nothing but sincere compassion through this difficult time. Stacy, Bre, and Natalie go above and beyond to communicate and keep us informed on how our child is doing and what is happening during care. …

  76. This facility’s staff have changed my family’s life in so many positive ways. There aren’t enough words to say how kind, caring, professional, talented and knowledgeable the people here are. They are such blessings. Thank you Stacey, for …

  77. In my opinion, Kaitlynn should be adolescent lead, because she does plenty more for the adolescent unit then Mike. Mike is hardly there at all, and when he is, be does practically nothing. Kaitlynn entertained and directed the patients and …

  78. I had best experience working in this hospital for 5 years. They take very good care of patients as well as employees. Administrative staff are very competent and very supportive. The facility is equipped with excellent resources, very …

  79. I was admitted twice, once in the child unit which had people ages 4-12 and once in the adolescent unit which had people 13-17 maybe 18? When I was in the childs unit I was 12 and admitted for being suicidal and had no history of substance …

  80. I just have to say that Stacy and Bree and Derek have been wonderful to speak to over the phone! This facility has kept me in the loop unlike the last facility my son was at! I feel like he really is getting the best care possible and they …

  81. I went there this summer because I was suicidal the staff were nice enough but this place really does care about money and nothing more I came out and 3 months later I’m still suicidal thanks for nothing Harsha, the first night they didn’t …

  82. I would not recommend this place. If you are having a difficult day and struggling with your mental health you will be harassed. They called the police on me claiming I was suicidal, this was far from true. I called to inquire why they …

  83. It’s pretty awesome for a hospital. But y’all should put Kaitlin on adolescent lead instead of mike. In the 4 times I’ve been there mike hasn’t been on adolescent unit. Kaytlin would be amazing a lead
    Signing of-Angelina x 🙂

  84. They are wonderful. My daughter did amazing there, phone calls were prompt as they said they would be. Michelle is amazing she called every day to let me know my baby was doing well. My daughter ate good her only complaint was the soap was …

  85. It wasn’t the worst, but it wasn’t the best either. I didn’t get any of my clothes back the whole time I was there, and I only got to see a therapist once, even when I asked. There was also someone who had an anxiety seizure, and it took …

  86. This was by far the worst mental health facility I had ever stayed in. I understand it’s not a vacation but it’s also not a prison. We do not go there because we got in trouble we go because we need help. I was 17 and went on my own …

  87. My child has been here twice in the last 6 months and this past visit we have had the best people in contact with us! Michelle in admissions has been simply amazing! From keeping me up to date, to helping us get where we need to be for my …

  88. After having such a traumatic experience at another facility last month with my son, I am grateful for the wonderful place at Harsha Behavior Center. I have to say that Stacy, my sons’ counselor, and the doctor put my mind at ease today. …

  89. My daughter was admitted to the adolescent wing this past week for 3 days. She went in with clothing, a pair of Under Armour slides in case she wasn’t allowed to keep shoes due to laces, and a pair of Nike Air Force Ones that she just got …

  90. I 100% recommend Harsha, unlike the pavilion in champaign Illinois they truly care about you and getting you better. In the adolescent/teen unit we did meditation, multiple sheet on coping skills and how to deal with emotions, and would …

  91. It was good didn’t think I really needed it to be honest but it was a good get away from home food was okay lol made good friends though and imma find em.

  92. ZERO STARS!! This place lacks empathy. Trisha the therapist is the rudest person on staff and they are very incompetent. Apparently they didn’t know that a patient has the right to appeal their discharge if they feel it’s too early. She …

  93. I wish I could give this place no stars!!! Everytime I call because my family member needs the help you guys make an excuse about why they can’t come. I thought this was a mental health and behavior center. This town needs better metal health places!!

  94. I was here like a month ago I give this place a 5 star rating the staff here in the adolescent unit were amazing and the food was really great we did group with I enjoyed it and my counselor was very nice I forgot her name she has orangeish …

  95. this is the worst mental hospital i have went to a staff yelled at me for eating and i was put on lockdown in the room and no one would tell me why the food was okay but they made me do packets and i told them i was dislexic and then was …

  96. My son DG is a current patient there on the ADOL. HUGE thanks to Stacy the therapist, and the Care Coordinator. Last, but not least: Dr. Hinshaw the Psychiatrist who was able to PROPERLY evaluate, diagnose, and give the right medication to …

  97. I was admitted here in december and it was a really good place. The staff were very nice. But one thing that my family didn’t like is the lack of communication and that i didn’t get to see my therapist. The food was decent. But overall i give it 4/5 stars

  98. I don’t recommend this place at all. It’s terrible I was 9 years old staying here because I had suicidal thoughts, no sleep at all staff members were cussing at my 4 year old roommate because she wasn’t laying down on her bed… I was scared …

  99. I was a patient at Harsha when I was 17 back in January. This was by far the most traumatic 6 days of my life. Harsha is helpful only to an extent. There are few caring techs and nurses, but they are the reason I was able to get out of …

  100. This is in regards to the out patient facility. My son saw Paul Capell NP a few times and while I was mostly pleased with his over all care. We will not be returning to this facility or any of Harsha affiliates after the conversation I just …

  101. Ms. Stacy and the whole staff at Harsha are hands down the best. They have given me hope , and peace of mind with my autistic BPD child. Knowing he’s safe and they care and are highly educated on his autism mixing with his mental health is …
