At Greater Lakes, we believe it takes courage to ask for help. We know you are likely experiencing many challenges already, and accessing mental health treatment should not be one of them.
Having everybody in here actually cheering for you really helps.
I’ve had therapy before and never really felt like it was helping. It just seemed like a waste of time. There’s just something about this place. I love coming here and I finally feel like it’s helping!
Me and my counselor are a pretty good team. She’s awesome!
When my counselor comes to work, she brings a little bit of sunshine with her.
My counselor’s voice on the phone is very welcoming and I appreciate how quickly he was able to respond and explain my situation!
I don’t know where I’d be without Greater Lakes. I have an amazing therapist and an awesome med provider. They both just get me.
I love how the Front Desk staff always remembers my name and who I am. It’s comforting and helps make the process of coming here a little easier.
I feel so very well understood and respected as a person with my counselor.
I look forward to seeing my counselor….a chance to sit down, open up and talk about who I am…I always held everything inside but I’m gradually opening up.
When I wake up on Thursday I think about what I’m doing that day and I go, ‘oh! Yay! I get to go see my counselor today!’ And then I smile the rest of the day.
You have helped me so much in ways you don’t even know.
I always feel respected by my counselor. I can tell he really cares about me.
The therapists and counselors were amazing. I feel like I got my life back.
