Guidance Center – Bradford

Extremely hazardous, avoid at all costs.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I attended this place as a child and a couple people in my family did and all they did was dismiss our generational trauma from substance and sexual abuse/ abandonment and… make clients feel isolated from their own autonomy and care. I became a behavioral therapist myself in New York and this place is THE SADDEST EXCUSE for intervention you could possibly go. You deserve better.

My experience at the Guidance Center was very straightforward and effective. The wait time was relatively minimal, and the nurse who I spoke with was mellow and considerate. The workers at the front desk were helpful,… and approachable. Dr. Farris was very understanding during our evaluation and made me feel heard. They are clearly trained well in their fields and ensure that patients are comfortable in their presence. Overall, it was a great experience and the environment was very professional.

These people need guidance from a lawyer

I feel that the Guidance Center is very unprofessional. Not only did they misdiagnose me for years, I basically felt they never helped me. I have been going to Dubois since 2003 and avoid them at all costs. A note… unfortunately I had to get a different provider since last summer. Another person here said they obsess over your weight. Yep. Put me on a med that I gained 100 pounds on. They blamed it on me. Once I was taken off the med I lost it. I don't think they continue to get any caring or knowledgible doctors. I urge people to go elsewhere and advocate for yourself. At one point there were some people there, ( not doctors) that helped me. Those people aren't there anymore. I feel bad for the Pitt Students that feel that they have nowhere else to turn..... there is a bus that goes to Pittsburgh...

I have never been treated so discourteously by a “professional” therapist in my life. We took our daughter there for therapy prescribed by her psychiatrists. After the intake, we saw the therapist briefly to set up… appointments for treatment. After waiting 4 weeks for the appointment, the day finally arrived. We went for the appointment today at which point we were told by the therapist #1 that she could not see her due to insurance issues and #2 that she didn’t believe that the therapy was “appropriate.” Your therapist needs therapy folks. My daughter who’s usually oblivious to the way adults act even said how rude she was. Not to worry about us, we will seek the appropriate EMDR treatment recommended by her Specialists elsewhere. I would not take my dog here.

The Guidance Center in Bradford PA has went WAY down hill in the last years... This place has been a safe haven for me for years, NOW I can't even leave one appointment feeling any better than before. They treated me… like I don't deserve help from them and pressured me about my diagnosis, I was so distraught I left before the session was over the Dr was nearly belittling me. Disgusting.

Nothing can ever be done in a timely manner here. Called for meds making a family member suicidal and got a response THREE DAYS LATER despite the urgent nature. Have been trying to get ahold of my medical records for a… while now and took a week of calling just to get someone to answer the phone. Don’t go here if you want consistency in your services.

Never in 35 years of going to that building have I ever been more pissed off than I have been today since when is it okay to make a 83 year old woman with dementia pee in a cup before being seen for a psychiatric… appointment and being told to tow the company line that it's company policy to make an 830 woman have a urine test before being seen by supposed doctor never coming there again never I will find another doctor that does not treat my mother like a criminal

I am trying to join the military and needed to go see my doctor again and get some paperwork and instead they didn't even let me come in to talk, they just gave me a definite no to both things I asked for and sent me on… my way. Very unprofessional and I recommend to absolutely no one.

Great place for general therapy. Needing to get help for adhd with a CRNP or dr the opposite of a good place. They will drag their feet to test you, push pills with no alternative therapies, OBSESS over your alcohol… consumption, judge and label you 50 minutes or less after meeting. I had a much better experience at Dickinson, however they stopped having zoom. Such is the challenge of living in rural America without great insurance.

Awful service, would not recommend. Has no care for anyone

I have always felt comfortable and cared for, cared about.

great place

I love the fact you guys charge me over $100 for not even 5 minutes worth of therapy and only two times I went you guys were very unprofessional and very disrespectful. Insulted me about the way I dress and the way I… look and judged me non stop instead of helping and trying to push tons of pills into my system that I don't even need

FYI: Medical Marijuana Users are required to test negative for marijuana prior to obtaining Adderall rx, even if you have an existing Adderall rx. They do not tell you this up front.

This place is very unprofessional feeling. I went 3 separate times with over an hour drive to do something they had 0 knowledge on and the first time I went they told me person was sick and never informed me until I was… there. Second time the desk lady didn't tell them I was there. And the 3rd and final time they told me they didn't know what they were doing and would learn together and got 35 minutes in and they had a fire drill so I didn't even get to finish filling out paper work. And then they tell me my insurance covers it and the person is switched so it would, nope full bill and they send it to the incorrect address multiple times until I correctly received the final notice with only a week and a half to pay. 0/10 would not recommend this location. They did give me a gas card for wasting 5 hours of my time for the first two issue visits.

Wow, they straight up LIED to me. That's very unprofessional and extremely inconvenient on my end. I'm talking about a very detailed LIE which ended up being untrue completely. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Called for 2 weeks to attempt to make med changes for my child. Receptionist refuses to put us through to anyone to get these changes made. Says they are not an emergency clinic and to go to the ER. ( emergency rooms DO… NOT make med changes) 2 weeks later and calling every day and still no callback for help.

Always busy and doing what they can for the area

I see Dr Singh at the Guidance center. Her and her Secretary, Kathy are two of the nicest, most understanding and help ful people that I've ever met. I am so thankful for them.

If I could give 0 I would. Did not receive calls back like I was told I would. Intake dept is somehow never there to schedule appts. I wanted to switch to a female therapist and still did not receive a call back to… handle it days later. Do NOT recommend.

Many people from the guidance center are awesome especially Mike B. I would recommend this place highly.

I called almost 3 weeks ago to make an appointment. They told me they would call me in a few days and I never got any call back. I will not be dealing with them, very unprofessional and dont seem to really care about… you.

They obsess over your weight, screw up your appointments which leave you a month sol on meds that aren't working. You could be in the office picking yourself bloody because of your anxiety and they'll tell you that you… don't have anxiety 🙃
