Reviews of Center For Life Management (Psychologist)

John Lavasser

This is such a nice place. The waiting room is always well put. Staff is professional. The therapist that I saw was very patient and tolerated my ups and downs. She was wonderful. I wished that I had gotten something out some of the sessions. There were times where I felt like it didn't help, but it had nothing to do with her. I think my anxiety was at a level that was to much for me to focus on the things from the past and only worked on the present at that time, which was very stressful. I would recommend this place for people in the area

I cannot give enough negative stars, therefore this one star rating is a big, fat lie. There should be a black hole option. This place is a meat factory that sucks "clients" into its dysfunctional, psych-med-poisoned-void. Any decent employee doesn't last long there. My "case" (because I am a number in a system) is being (and has been) shuffled around so much no one I report directly to knows what's going on with ANYTHING. And honestly, even before my case was a pack of playing cards missing a few hearts and spades, the joker was running my deck and now I'm up excrement creek without a paddle.... in fact, my canoe has sprung a leak. DO NOT GO TO CLM. DO NOT SIGN UP. DO NOT BE TEMPTED. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Because once you get in you have given away your life. OH AND YOU THOUGHT YOU MIGHT GET HELP THERE BECAUSE YOU CAME AROUND AND ACTUALLY WANTED TO TRY AND KEEP ALIVE! (Oh, like me!) Don't. It's all caring and compassion until your intake worker gets your personal X on that paper. Next thing you're waking up almost ten years later wondering where you can go to get away from this place. (Oh, like me!) Speak up --- Get medicated till you can't speak up to question what's going on, and have to invest in larger drool cups to carry around 24/7, oh, my bad, i meant more like a thick bib coz you will be sleeping or otherwise incapacitated and unaware of your existence. ... DON'T BE ME! DON'T BECOME A SOURCE OF INCOME FOR CLM! Run away! You will never have to understand what I'm talking about heree then! ....but for those of you that do know exactly what I'm saying here.... My deepest condolences at the loss of any mental faculties you may or may not have possessed. Take them pills, sleeping beauty, coz there ain't no way out now.

I started seeing a psych there a while ago and was put on medication. At the advice of theirs, I decided therapy would be a good option. A couple years into therapy I chose to quit. Only after leaving did they inform me that to recieve medication, I had to see a therapist once a month. So I'm forced into therapy or I get booted out. It was nice finding this out after termination, then having your therapist refuse to take you back. No reason why. You can say they do NOT have my trust. BTW, I was doing deep, psychoanalytic therapy. One month later and my new therapist quit. Then I found out my ex-therapist, who brought me into deep waters, quit. Now I have no help to get me out of this harmful place I was put in. I have abandonment issues. A complete lack of trust in anyone, and severe depression. EDIT: My first therapist was correct on the need for therapy every 3 months. My 2nd therapist was ADAMANT that I needed monthly sessions. WRONG! He made me hate my 1st therapist for over a month for "lying" to me, until I finally saw my psychiatrist, who I've had for a while. She's the one that clued me in to what the rules were around there. My second therapist really did abandon me. Didn't transfer my case to anyone. Thanks, Justin. The one star review will still stay for everyone's severe lack of care and response. I really was close to being suicidal. I may give it 2 stars, but that would only be because of my old psychiatrist and new therapist. EDIT: Just got transfered again because they lack the skills. WTF?? Four therapists in 6 months. Looks like I'll be there for my meds only, with forced therapy jumbled into my "treatment". Fifty minutes talking about the weather should be fun. LAST UPDATE Okay, that's it with this place. My psych informed me yesterday that my therapist was "let go" the previous day. My head's been so messed ever since the first termination, I don't even know if I've signed papers with any of the other therapists since then. Another therapist with a lack of any termination. BTW, I talked about more than just the weather.

I would give them a zero also! They are nothing more that legalized drug dealers passing out xanax to drug addicts ruining lives and homes! They should care enough to get to the route of a problem and not just hand out addictive drugs.

I give clm a negetive 100 if i had too. I had a great doctor and this person left for reasons that are unknown cause the confidential and go through alot of turn overs you would believe. i have gone through more and more and still these people leave. Very good ones at that. PLUS i would not go there cause the people whom have permission to see your file should be confidencial BUT the owners of CLM think they have permission to look at your file thinks its ok. AND ITS NOT. they did that with me and my daughter. the owner looked at my files and thought it was ok. that ago's against HIPPA LAW. just be careful . i NEVER SIGNED ANYTHING that said this person can go into my files. I am goin to seek a lawyer and go from there cause what this person did to me and my daughter was uncalled for.... thanks clm. i have been with clm for over 20 yrs and you do this to me. dont think so. so please be careful for now and future cliets at CLM

If i could give this place less than a star i would. Please anyone in serious need of some help stay away from this place. They are all frauds especially Barry i scream at people who ask simple questions. You tell this place you think about ending it and its like they try to push you over the edge. So once again if you need any kind of help i beg you to place stay away. For your own good.

This place took everything from me, ruined my future by branding me depressed, they locked me in a hospital with a bunch of psychos taking away my god given right to bear arms without even knowing it. i no longer feel passion for anything after my encounter with them, my experience would surely make a great movie but i wont be around to tell that story, i simply cannot face it. my blood is on there hands along with the nh police, i never did anything wrong and i regret being a nice person in life. you can all sleep quietly at night now knowing this computer nerd is gone, your all heros.

Case Managers antagonize and harrass the client instead of thoughtfully providing services.

AWFUL PLACE!! Ignorant people and no help

Kimberly Reasor

If I could, I would give ZERO stars! Paid a lot of money for numerous appointments with no results. My brother-in-law went there ONCE a week for months (with no progress) and finally had an "intake" psychotherapy appointment after 3 months. When someone is suicidal, they need more IMMEDIATE help than that! They can't prescribe any medication, so if you have a mental disorder that needs medication, don't bother going to CLM. And once a week treatments, that is a joke. We moved him to NJ where he can get better care. CLM was not helpful...not quite sure who they would actually be good for, perhaps someone who just wants to pay a lot of money to chat with someone if that makes them feel better. If you are in crisis, do NOT go to CLM.

The doctors and staff are caring compassionate and really help our community.

Just dropped 165 bucks to get lied to by the "Good Doctor" at CLM. Honestly about to just go back to jail instead of dealing with this. It's court ordered. Putting work in jeopardy to see this doctor. It's not like I'm getting benefits from the government. They seem to think me not working is better. I pay all my bills with no help and buy all my food for two. Litteraly going to CLM is putting my health and living at risk. They also have the worst customer service I have ever experienced I am very dissatisfied. The names Dean Shean. Edit just called my lawyer about you guys.

I am a client here who suffers from an array of disabilities including schizophrenia. I have been a client at CLM for many years. Throughout this time, I have seen many of my team come and go. It’s not always easy meeting new people, but they always seem to be wonderful in some way. I have nothing but positive words for this organization. Either I’m lucky or there’s something great about the healthcare in The Merrimack Valley area... Regardless, I am very thankful! Everyone from my case manager, to my therapist, to the nurses who deliver my injections, to my medication nurse, and the front end staff who schedule my appointments are and have always been nothing but respectful, helpful, and patient when it came to my treatment. There aren’t many places I am aware of that assist in behavioral health, so I am grateful to have found this organization, and I hope nothing changes.

I would give them 0 stars if I could. Please go somewhere else if possible.
