CMH saved my life. 2 of the 3 psychiatrists I have seen there have been awesome. My adolescent therapist was amazing, and my current therapist on the adult side is wonderful and very helpful. The front desk staff is very kind and they learn your name and get to know you. You're not just another client to them. I am always called in for appointments promptly, and if there ever is going to be a wait I am notified of why and how long I can be expected to wait. My only complaint is there isn't that much seating in the waiting room so on busy days I have to sit next to people I don't know (not always
