Report
I was originally told it was an 8 month waitlist, but about a month later they were able to see my son, who is 7. The therapist, Kristen(?), was amazing at the intake. I will update my review as we go through the process, but after fighting for two years to find a family counselor or someone my son could talk to, it was a huge relief to be taken in by this facility.

I started treatment here over 14 years ago, I left in 2014 with good reason. In 2018 my care was transferred back to LRMHC. It has been 3 years now and during this time I have had 3 different therapists, 7 different case managers and 2 different med providers. The turnaround at this facility is a great indicator for how they treat their staff and clients. God forbid you have a mental health crisis, you will get thrown into the annex at laconia hospital without question. Their "policies" are undermining and detrimental at times. The chief operating officer, Maggie Pritchard, allowed a covid positive

They do get some good professionals I've been seeing them for 13 years and got so good therapist and case managers but there is a lot of their employees that treat u like a paycheck and has been making my mental health spiral out of control and they refuse to listen and the higher up doesn't even have respect for their clients

Lakes region mental health center just took away my therapist who Ive been working with for months because Im not in their catchment area. They dont care what happens to me, they dont care about the relationship my therapist and I have built, they dont care that Im an RN working on the front lines during a pandemic, they dont care that I have nowhere else to go. I just have to go somewhere else. Individual therapists here are great, but the management, administration, and operating officer do not care about the people they are supposed to help, all they care about is
