Reviews of CMHA Durham (Psychiatrist)

Jasper Mokus

The NPLC is an incredible clinic. I was referred to the NPLC at first for the smoking cessation program. Thankfully, at the end of my 10 month run I am now successfully cigarette free! Thank you NPLC for the support! Without this program, I would not have had the funds nor the emotional support to begin this journey let alone successfully complete it. Recently, I have been accepted to the NPLC for trans care. The nurses are kind and considerate. They explain in depth and answer any questions you may have in a very timely fashion. They are diligent and are working closely to monitor my disability during my transition. Thank you again, NPLC, for having professional and compassionate trans care!

They helped me become who I am today. From a young man I worked hard to become a peer support as well as other opportunities. I am so happy they have such amazing staff and clients

I had great help before the woman I worked with went on maternity leave. Successfully accessing information to all types of programs to help. However it's the other places that say they can't help or they have no room or too much meeting the criteria and then some that it's too much for these help programs like cope that turn one away when they're at their wits end ready to take their own lives.

Recently went to CMHA Durham as a walkin. Referral services on site. Informative and knowledgeable staff to guide me through the mental health system. Educational day programs and case management are helpful for those who need some assistance while living with mental health. I would recommend going to CMHA Durham for services related to mental health.

this place is a cesspool for bullying BY the staff TO the clients. I was a regular attendee of their youth drop in program and this one staff named James would just constantly make fun of clients that were in the program. he would target certain youth more than others and he was a complete jerk. Lot of the people in the program have special needs dude, its not cool at all to act like that. It looked like he was doing it to look "cool" and "funny" for the female staff that worked in the drop in too (the female staff certainly enabled it and did nothing about his stupid antics) The food was good and the entertainment was fine (video and board games) but this was not a nice place Reply - I see the "owner" replied to me. No thanks I certainly dont feel safe talking to anyone about this, i'll pass. I see someone else on here has complained about him too and judging by the description it definitely sounds like the same James. If several people are having a problem with the same guy then maybe you should do something about it

I am proud to work for this organization. All CMHA Durham employees are very invested to the vision and are motivated to help people move forward. We are offered lots of training options, excellent benefits that include wellness days, and our CEO visits us regularly providing recognition and listens to our ideas for improvements. This is truly an amazing place to work.

I came here for help before pandemic started around four months. No serious help was received before and after. Cronavirus was being used as an excuse to be lazy even though theres tons of people comig in with court orders. Somthing i dont have. I had to treat myself with sliver nitrate for hypergranulation tissue. This clinic is still apart of my suffering each and everyday * yes thats right im still suffering 2years plus* even though i don't come here. The reception & The nurse practitioners effected my life that much. This is a censored post. Otherwise more would be said. I dont recommend coming here ever. Dont bother asking for help they dont have your best interest of health in mind. Unless its court ordered even then i think people still get unprofessional treatment.

A vital piece of services for my mental health. Gone through drastic, changes, especially the 4th floor. Being very adaptive in these times as well as before, the alterations have been inclusive in its evolutionary development. Now, the Recovery College. Which is greatly appreciated. The classes based on CHIME framework, each class will be based around each letters. Representing- Connectedness. Hope/Optimism. Identity. Meaning. And. Empowerment~! ♡♤

Less than happy with this clinic. They never answer the phone, are horrible at returning calls, and you should expect to be transferred between np's often. Ok in a pinch, or when Ontario doctors cherry-pick and refuse you as a complicated case, but not what I expect in medical care. This is not a review of mental health programs or services, it is a review of the nurse practitioner-led clinic only!

???? Jus a lil advice of you're actually looking to get some serious help hit up the hospital becuz these peeps here check google b4 they respond to anything you tell them & leave you in total distress for week long periods... I was told they had no blood work results yet I was able to get them & I was holding them in my hand printed out, yet they still could jot find the results! PATHETIC PLACE TO GO FOR HELP!! ????

I have been struggling with mental health issues for about the last 2 years and was finally hospitalizated recently. I guess I fell through the cracks at Lakeridge and was never set up with after hospitalization resources. Luckily I found this resource on my own and was told I should have had a visit while I was in Lakeridge. Anyways, the staff were so pleasant when I went into the Oshawa office a d they pointed me towards some programs that may be beneficial for someone in my situation. I haven't followed up on these yet as I'm waiting for some other appointments, but needed to share my good experience with going into the office. Thanks for the warm welcome.

Excellent service programs. It helps to have these services in the heart of the city,lifting stigmas. Remember people ; Mental Illness DOESN'T discriminate & DOESN'T give you a date .

Concerned Parent

My child had a bad experience with James (young man with glasses and a beard), a case manager at CMHA Durham that was working with my kid. Very smug, arrogant and a know-it-all. My child was not comfortable at all with his behaviour. Hire staff that are more down to earth and can relate more with the people you're supposed to be helping. Thank you.

Awesome place, awesome people ????????

A family member encouraged me to go to CMHA. It’s been the best decision I’ve made....so far.

Gerry Taillefer

Tried to apply for a volunteer and it wouldn't let me submit the code, evening doing it 10 times. Can someone please explain how to go about applying properly

Steve T

It's either their way or the highway, nice approach, considering all the people I've met that need services like this, they all agree this place isn't worth spit.

Concerned Patient

I read below it says share concerns with privacy officer but there no sense because nothing gets done by her. I agree with a lot of the comments below especially about primary care the NP Stephanie who runs the clinic is not very nice and honestly am surprised she was ever put in that position. If Stephanie does not like you then you get not very good treatment. Also bullying the client is very normal as well. Very little response when complaints are put in other then to blame the patient.

They don't answer the phone I was in the office and called the front desk and the women twirling just let it go and said that they had other stuff to do while she is playing on her cell phone.
