Mirmont Outpatient Center - Exton

I highly recommend the PHP program at Mirmont Outpatient Center. The classroom environment is made to be comfortable and quickly becomes a safe space. The patients are motivated to improve, and the overall atmosphere is very supportive. Most of the therapists are well prepared and genuinely helpful. On nice days patients will often go for walks outside or enjoy some yoga. One area for improvement: there was one therapist who was frequently late and openly acknowledged struggling with time management during sessions. She would have to set alarms on her phone and would joke about it. She was warm and brought a positive, youthful energy once sessions began. However the lack of punctuality felt unprofessional especially in a setting where patients are expected to be timely and prepared. All other therapists come to class on time and have their lesson ready to go this should be the standard. With more consistency in this area, the program would easily be a 5-star experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who is struggling. Just remember you get out what you put in.

The best. Better than all the rest.

I’ve been working with Erika Belskie at this location for about a year, and after working with many therapists over the years, I can confidently say she is exceptional. From the beginning I asked her to challenge me and provide brutal honesty. She has done exactly that while still creating a safe and supportive therapeutic environment. Erika is thoughtful, direct, and insightful, and she asks the kinds of questions that lead to real progress. She helped me navigate several very challenging periods in my life and remained a steady source of guidance when things felt overwhelming. She has a strong understanding of trauma and approaches it in a thoughtful and structured way. Over the past year, the work we’ve done in therapy has helped me gain clarity and develop a much stronger understanding of myself. I also want to recognize my psychiatrist, Dr. Barry Hoffman, whom I’ve been seeing for nearly seven years. He is attentive, compassionate, and committed to thoughtful care. One thing I especially appreciate is that he collaborates with my therapist so my treatment plan is coordinated and tailored to my needs. Finding providers who genuinely collaborate and focus on your long-term progress is rare. I’m grateful for the role both Erika Belskie and Dr. Barry Hoffman have played in my treatment and overall growth.

I had a very positive experience in the adolescent PHP program. All the staff, from the therapists, nurse, psychiatrists, the nice ladies at the front desk- are all incredible! The program was also very informative, engaging, and I took a lot away from it. I recommend it strongly

staff here are great and worked with me to accomodate my absences due to my disability; the medical staff listened to me and my concerns

I had a consultation with Lois Row and left feeling judged and unheard. What I wanted, they could not offer. I felt pressured into the PHP. I set up this appointment for the IOP but was told it wasn’t something they offered at this location and instead I’d have to travel to broomall (about an hour drive for me, multiple times a week for 6-8 weeks). I felt Lois was judgmental and created an unsafe environment. She often made faces in disgust or used a very passive tone to my responses. I overall did not feel comfortable or satisfied with the treatment I received. It wasn’t until the end of the hour and a half appointment when she told me the kind of therapy I need (one on one talk therapy) is not something they offer yet proceeded to sign me up for the IOP anyway. I’m so glad I decided to read the reviews as I am not the only one whose had a bad experience. I will not be attending any program this faulty offers.

I would highly not recommend as their php program has been detrimental to my health. Their therapists think it is ok to utilize attack therapy in group which is supposed to be dbt based. Judgements were allowed to be made, as the male therapist also involved himself in doing, as well as allowing other group members tell someone how they SHOULD be acting/reacting (ie they should be opening up about themselves in group and sharing). The therapist also do not enforce the group rules as a quote directly from their welcome packet is "no clothing...along with no half-shirts...." Unfortunately the staff did not enforce this and allowed a group member to wear the equivalent of a sports bra with a light cardigan over top that I do not believe could be buttoned or tied shut as it often was not.

Horrible place for neurodivergent folks. Tell them your triggers upfront as a survivor of Applied Behavioral Analysis, they ignore you and begin plastering them at the front of group discussion. You make them aware, they tell you to ignore them. It's like posting concepts from "pray the gay away", but for autism. I went to address this with Maggie, the supervisor, who was nasty, a complete 180 from the support during the admissions process. She told me she wouldn't talk to me until I discharged, so I did. You cannot feel safe in a place that triggers you. Trying to address this with Mainline Health yielded nothing. These people are predators, greedy predators. Stay away, for your health.
