Mental Health Providers in Louisville, Tennessee

My daughter was here last year for roughly 4 months. She has been struggling with mental health issues for a long time, since experiencing a death of someone very close to her several years ago. After several acute psychiatric hospitalizations, numerous psychiatrists, and therapists I thought it was finally time she needed more help then what she was currently getting. I found The Village and the website and everything looked perfect. Speaking to the staff at first seemed like it would be a great fit. They make this place seem very structured and focused on helping the kids, but once my daughter came home and even while still there I started noticing it was not this at all. I honestly believe this place traumatized my daughter more than when she went in there. She has told me horror stories of how dirty the bathrooms are and nasty the cabins are. She constantly talked about how much bullying there was there and when she would try to talk to her therapist about it she would just tell her well would I be working here if that’s how this place was. Looking back I wish I had pulled my daughter out of there as soon as I was hearing her therapist say that. Around five months after getting out of the village, there was another incident and my daughter ended up having to go back to residential and I refused for her to go back to the village. She instead went to Mountain Youth Academy and the difference in the two places is night and day. My daughter truly was a new person coming home from MYA and she was only there for about two months. If you have options, don’t choose The Village.
