The staff not only have the professional credibility but personally as well. I never dreaded coming to a group session because they were always fun, full of conversation and welcoming. It really is a great place for someone new to recovery!
I have had two children receive care from Andrew over the recent years. He listens, and seems invested and caring. I am so happy to have found him; the counselor who was working with my kids provided his name among others. Making an appt and communication through the portal is very convenient also.
I had a near death experience 2 years ago and Dr. Mary Hanigan and her team have provided me with the most excellent care and attention during my healing journey. They listen with attentive and compassionate ears, apply years of expertise and wisdom, and do all of it with professionalism, integrity and excellence. These practitioners are at the top of their field and can be trusted with the most complex of situations. Thank you for the excellent care!
I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible care and support I received at Great Plains Mental Health. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was met with warmth, empathy, and professionalism that instantly put me at ease. The entire staff, from the receptionists to the providers, showed genuine compassion and treated me with the utmost respect.
