Echota Behavioral Health – Tahlequah

Very poor intake. I have to find another place to assist me because they don't seem like they want to help me.

Wouldn't recommend this place for ADHD or ADHD suspecting patients. The psychiatrist here believes it essentially doesn't exist and is just a misdiagnosis of bipolar and requires bipolar treatments. Not to mention(from… hearing others experiences) it just so happens to be his favorite diagnosis for female specific patients. Take that information as you will.

I love every single person here! They are so great, they really treat everyone with respect and love. It's so much better than the alternative.

Best place by far. Dr. Peyok was amazing he was the Dr. To figure out my autistic sons meds.. went from non verbal to verbal under his care

The doctor didn’t listen and was unprofessional. I don’t need to know how his ex wife was crazy. He insisted I had symptoms I don’t.

These people are the Opposite of Good Mental Health Really don't deserve even one star

Horrible. I was seeking therapy for severe anxiety, PTSD, severe depression associated with BPD. Everything seemed off somehow. When you walk in, the receptionist may or may not be there. And when walking with your… therapist, it sounds, feels like there's no other people in the building receiving therapy. Never got to see a psychiatrist Was accused of calling an employee and threatening her/him yet they would not let me hear/see any proof of this. Now they will not accept ANYTHING FROM ME WHATSOEVER. HOW PROFESSIONAL IS THAT?

This place is absolutely been amazing for myself and my husband, Dr Jones and my counselor are amazing people!

*STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND* After 9 months of waiting for care, all I have been met with is argumentative doctors, other medical staff and receptionists whom are extremely unprofessional, and a few whom are very… aggressive... Not the environment anyone with mental health issues should be in, EVER. The doctors there do not “believe” in ADHD. They claim that ADHD is not a real thing, it is just bipolar disorder. They have been the most unhelpful healthcare establishment I have ever been to. They never have enough staff, appointments get canceled almost every time and have to be rescheduled for things like “not having enough staff” or “employee appreciation day” when they don’t even have enough staff to see the patients. This whole experience has been a complete nightmare, and my mental health is much worse than before it was when I started at Echota Behavioral Health. Another employee there, (Jennifer, who has also berated me online) accused me of calling another health care establishment that one of the doctor’s is affiliated with, which I DID NOT do. She even admitted she just heard it was something that she had heard, but my name was nowhere brought up in it. She just randomly accused me. They lied to me about how they would further my treatment plan, and purposefully cancelled my appointment at the last minute for a medication refill- and they thought it was laughable. EXTREMELY unprofessional people. There is absolutely no respect for the patients, they’re too busy snickering and talking about other patients, etc. I went to 7 therapy appointments, but never learned any further coping skills, or anything. They prefer to talk about themselves and other patients rather than the person there to receive services. I have reported them and will continue to follow through with the UKB to ensure these people lose their jobs.

Spent a year here with 3 different therapists because they can’t seem to keep them employed here. 30 minute sessions which is hardly any time for meaningful rapport or skills to be taught. They have a major issue with… counter transference, if you do not agree with a therapist they will kick you out of the session. Pretty unethical agency overall. Will be submitting a complaint with the Oklahoma health authorities. The administration is a joke, they will tell you they will call you back never do.

I have tried to see a counselor here for over a year now. I was placed on a year long waiting list and went through their intake process about two months ago. I was told that I would receive a call back in two weeks to… set up an appointment but that hasn’t happened. When I called to check up on when I would be receiving a call I was told that my counselor would get back with me but nothing, I was told that the head of counseling would get back with me and nothing. I was told that the counselor was getting his office set up and would call clients soon, then I was told that he was already seeing clients and would give me a call. Still nothing. I still haven’t seen anyone and still haven’t received a call. They didn’t help my husband and his conditions have only worsened under their care. I won’t be seeing them.

I couldn't be happier with the help I've received here. The people that work there really care about helping others.

Unsupportive, understaffed, underqualified. I finally wanted to make big changes in my life, start making big moves. I came asking for help and was told again and again and again that there were no counselors available.… It was a very discouraging experience that forced me to seek help elsewhere. I want anyone who needs help to take the initiative to turn their lives around, but I fear this is not the place to attempt a fresh start and will only turn many back towards hard spirals. If this applies to your situation or that of a loved one, please seek help, just not here. There are professionals who want to get you well, but they simply are not at this location unfortunately.

Very unprofessional environment, they don’t treat people with respect. I wouldn’t recommend.
