Community Mental Health Authority of Clinton, Eaton, Ingham Counties

“I suffered a traumatic experience and I really needed therapy but do not have insurance, from the phone calls to the intake to the therapist I ended up with, everyone at CMH has been really helpful and nice. Waaayyyyy more helpful than 988 was, that helpline is a joke. The appointment making and intake process were both pretty easy and they definitely worked with me to come up with what I would be charged, I was happy with what we landed at. The security at the building is always nice, have never had any issues whatsoever. The therapist I ended up with is great. They have been very helpful and have really helped me get control back over my life. They are also flexible with me if I need to change days due to work. I am very happy with the service I have gotten. I will say that to start I was a bit apprehensive since they did not have great reviews, but my experience has been stellar. I would definitely recommend them if you need some help, or if you don't have much money or any insurance, they have quite a few different therapy programs and they will help you get into what you need. I go after work hours so I do not have to miss work, which is great.”

“Life is a special, special journey where CMH stands for "See My Healing." The road has been tragic, yet somehow my care providers and I have come to the miracle of LTD - "Lowest Therapeutic Dose." I take the minimum necessary to keep me out of the psych ward since March 2019. I'm given countless opportunities to have a voice and even get paid. CMH provides diverse services to me from case management to psychiatry to a drop-in to a clubhouse. I haven't always, but now I love the services I receive. Don't give up when it seems no one understands. God made the miracle of you. Everything can turn around. "Life is not over at disability." Give CMH a chance.”

“The mental health system in Michigan is a joke. The fact that you can involuntarily send someone to a mental health treatment center without their consent is insane. These folks tried to help but their psychiatrist was rapidly diagnosing me in less than 15 minutes. It just shows that we need more guidelines and controls to prevent people from being placed into a system where they will just throw prescription drugs at you to solve a problem.”

“Called three different times to try and make an intake appointment. Didn’t have insurance and was refused even making an evaluation appointment. No money, don’t even bother. Kind of defeats the purpose”
