Top Psychiatric hospitals in Falls Church, United States

I have been really impressed with the help my son has received here, especially with Dr. Haroon and his social worker Pearl. She has kept me informed without compromising his privacy. This, I hope, can be a turning point in his life. God bless all involved.

HIM Dept is in need of new management, badly.
If you're looking for a peaceful office to work in stay clear of this office. Its a 3 ring circus right now and full of negative energy due to a staff who was never qualified to be there. May God protect us all from having to go through what I did..
A nightmare!!!

If i could rate zero stars I would. I was brought here August 2021 my stay was for 30 days. It was bearable until 1 week before I left, in the morning, I was approached my a tech who asked if i had been taking showers. I said not yet and I went to go take a shower. She unlocked the door of the bathroom while I was naked taking a shower and I shouted what are you doing and she said "You don't know how to take a shower right" I threw all the rags I was using at her and she left. I felt beyond violated. She was an 5'7 african woman she had a black curly wig dark blue scrubs. She needs to be fired.

Definitely would not recommend working here. It's a toxic place to work!!! I worked here as a Psychiatric Technician for 10 months and recently had to quit due to continuous bullying and retaliation from one particular charge nurse. Of course other factors played a part as well, such as the abuse of power some of the nurses use towards techs and other nurses. The extreme favoritism and lack of equality from charge nurses/management to staff that allows for certain staff members to get away with certain unethical things. The staff here are highly aware of what goes on but choose to keep quiet and talk amongst themselves due to fears they may lose their jobs. Many of them are also there just for the retirement plan or suffering through it until they find something better. Additionally, the lack of response from higher management when concerns are expressed is mind blowing. I literally had a nurse unit manager state "my concerns are TOO long to read." I guess that's why things will never be addressed for those that choose to speak up. Anyways, when thinking about working here, proceed with caution. I wish I would have read these reviews before affiliating myself with this employer. The reviews are all true, be careful bringing your loved ones here is all I have to say. This place truly creates a hostile work environment partly because of staff and management.

P.S. The condition of the facility should raise some serious health concerns. The air conditioner does smell horrible. The vents look like they have not been cleaned since the place opened. The light fixtures are on its last leg ready to fall on someone. The mold that grows here is very concerning. Truly, I feel this place needs to be shut down or new management and staff needs to be hire. But please, if the employer is reading this, don't just hire people to have bodies on the units because the facility is always short staffed but hire people that actually have a passion for the field of Mental Health. Also, this employer needs to start looking into why they are always short staffed and resulting to mandating over worked staff members to stay because frankly, the low retention rate is bit problematic.

The things expressed here are true. DO NOT bring your loved ones here!!! If you were ever a patient at NVMHI and you were mistreated, if you worked there and you were mistreated by staff which played as a hostile work environment, I suggest you get a lawyer because everything that happens at NVMHI is not a ok and it is against human rights.

This place is HORRIBLE. never recommend going here for help. Staff are abusive mentally and physically. Place is really unsanitary, like I mean black mold in the showers unsanitary. Food has no flavor/ care/ love/ or taste. None of the staff cares enough to help you. Doctors lie to you and give you the wrong meds. Unless you like all that stuff NEVER GO HERE.

This hospital is one of the worst places our love once can be hospitalized.

My son was there for almost 6 months and each time I will go see him there was always something going on.

The nurse’s don’t care about them, they let patients fight each other and just started at the and asked each other “who you think is going to win” I witnessed this fact.....

Another day I took some snacks for my son and a MAIN nurse was telling my son which candies he was going to keep for himself, I asked why he was taking my son's candy he replied I-was just joking but he had them in his pocket, that got me upset and asked to return them..... he just laughed.

A lot happened and I’m hoping that my son won’t go back to this miserable place

The place is a joke. They don’t really help much. Abusive to the patients and the few good staff they have. Most of the doctors are Narcissistic. So you can only imagine what happens when you try to have an opinion or stick up for your self. Smh keep your family out of that place. Trust me I know. I was held there for over 5 year on an NGRI charge with out a mental illness. Forced to take medications I didn’t need. Lied on by the doctors. Fabricating thing a didn’t say so they could send me to Petersburg maximum-security mental hospital. Evil satanic, MK ultra tactics with a smile to cover up cruel intentions. Experimental Trial and error medications the will probably drop your white blood count one day.
