Rego Park Counseling - Mental Health and Substance Abuse Counselors — Local services in New York

I do not recommend this place for counseling, it seems more for a place for substance abuse. If you aren’t a high risk patient it seems that they put you on the back burner. I was told that I needed an intake appt, then a follow up with a psychiatry appointment. When I went for the 2nd follow up with Psychiatry, they had me waiting there for an hour. When I made the appointment I waited a week and a half because they had no other openings. And I was there for an hour waiting because they had an emergency take in (which I understand) so my appointment was delayed. When the psychiatrist saw me, she had me there for five minutes and rushed me. Didn’t ask follow up question as to why I’m taking certain medications. Then I was finally booked for my third appointment to meet with my assigned counselor. When I get there, they tell me that my appointment was never booked. Even though they called and confirmed with me the week before. They ended up giving me a random person to give me therapy..super awkward (her advise was take long walks or exercise) …too then find out she will not be my counselor and that she was quitting that very day …very unprofessional. I also have my degree in psychology and social work. I know the ins and outs of of how an outpatient should run. No regard...

Well I would have to say at first I wasn’t happy being there due to the fact my job forced me to attend.. but after speaking with MIke who was very helpful and attentive to my Needs her recommended I see Sam for further evaluation..but after a few sessions with Sam I learned to accept my circumstances and realized I in fact needed her guidance support and advice.. she’s been a great help and I would definitely recommend anyone with substance issues to come to Rego park counseling to see SAM!! She’s the best at what she does 💪🏾 and a big shout out to Mike for making it happen for me thank all u guys at rego park...

I had a very disappointing experience at Rego Park Counseling with Anastasia, the psychologist/therapist. I booked multiple appointments and consistently waited over two hours sometimes even longer without being seen on time. It’s frustrating and confusing why they schedule appointments if they can’t honor them. The office is clearly overbooked, and at one point, sessions were even being held in the hallway due to lack of space. This is completely unprofessional and not an environment conducive to therapy. I do not recommend this place to anyone looking for reliable or...
