CHI Health Clinic Psychiatric Associates (Lakeside)

I've been a client for about 6 months and Peter Cusumano is a wonderful therapist. I'm very comfortable speaking with him and always feel more relaxed after our visits. We are able to speak about so much more than the usual therapist and patient topics. I hear stories about his life and a lot of things we share in common. I'm able to get things unloaded, but I also feel like I'm visiting with a friend. I've seen a few therapists in my time and most were all business and very scripted. I knew right away Peter (Pete) is genuine and has true concern for people as a whole. I look forward to continuing to work with someone who takes the time to listen to what I say and genuinely cares. Thank you, Pete.

This is going to be a hard NO for me. I actually thought Marie Ganiev, APRN was going to be a good psychiatrist my first two visits but I quickly realized she is your garden variety psychiatrist. Do these mental health care providers understand we struggle that's why we are coming to them for help. She honestly made me feel in my third appointment as though I was unable to receive the help I needed due to my outer exterior I built to protect myself from lifelong trauma. Also, I am extremely sensitive to medications & I worry about the side effects due to my anxiety, and after one medication she prescribed me she more or less dismissed me from trying anything else saying I wouldn't take them anyways. You shouldn't assume, just because I struggled with the first one. It's actually not my fault that that medication did not sit well with me. I could go on and on, but let me just say this. "Shame on you, Marie and all the other mental health providers that treat us this way." This is why people with mental health issues cannot get help or do not want to get help. I'm sure there are some good providers out there somewhere, I have yet to find one in my 39 years of life. This will be my last time trying to find out. I will never again try to receive help for my anxiety, as I have learned 90% of mental health providers are unempathetic, dismissive and do not have your best interest at heart. Hence her telling me that she was highly worried about my well-being and then gave me a card to somebody else but was not concerned with scheduling a follow-up. Again, shame on you. I have a pretty good head on my shoulders, so I'll be fine. I feel very sorry though for the people that are not as strong as I am and we're on their last string of hope when reaching out for help. That's who I feel sorry for.

Kacy Walther initially comes across a pleasant, thorough medical practitioner.. In reality she is a sub-par, second rate RN and her support staff is beyond incompetent and would consistently call in my prescriptions to the wrong pharmacy MULTIPLE TIMES.. I chose to change medical providers which required me to have my mental health medications filled one last time by her until my first consultation with the new medical provider - SHE CHOSE NOT TO WITH NO OTHER REASONING THAN PURE, UTTER SPITE TOWARDS ME.. She was the only person (doctor) who had the power to do the right thing by bridging the gap and providing me my mental health prescriptions, however, she incomprehensibly decided to make me suffer by going cold turkey for two weeks until my upcoming doctors appointment with a new provider.. Not only is this behavior reprehensible, its downright evil and spiteful.. Avoid Kacy and avoid CHI by all means necessary!
