Kaiser, Don't Deny
Patients need access to timely and consistent mental health services
Patient Stories
What Kaiser provides is not mental health care
Published Wednesday, March 27, 2019I am a therapist. The number of Kaiser patients I see coming into private practice therapy to pay out-of-pocket is ridiculous. People with serious symptoms such as self harm, depression, personality disorders, mania, and so on are being seen every six to eight weeks at Kaiser. In San Jose, Kaiser refuses to give patients outside referrals for therapy even though they are not able to meet the needs of the patient in-house. What Kaiser provides is not mental health care. It is not even close to the standard of care needed.
