Just an update, I went in and met with their intake counselor, and have an appointment with a therapist for an assessment. They make you do an assessment with a therapist before they'll let you see a psychiatrist for some reason. I was scared to death but my family member was with me and the intake person was a very nice and sweet person who didn't push me at all. And listened to me and reassured me they won't push me to do anything I don't want in terms of treatment. I hope that turns out to be true. I was very clear about what I do and do not want.
I'm dreading the actual appointment but at least it can't be as awful as my first psychiatrist was! I went and left my own negative review of him and I hope it keeps someone from suffering like I did.
