I really have grown to "love" (appreciate) Dr. Yanamadala the more time I've been his patient. I…read moreused to think his approach was rather abrupt and somewhat off-putting, but I've since gotten to know him and appreciate his directness. I have also done the TMS therapy at Lakeside to help treat my depression, and I feel like it helped. I still take a low-dose, mild anti-depressant. However, shortly after I completed the therapy, I went through really really trying times caring for my father until he passed, and I likely may not have been able to handle the stress and cope with loss time as well, had I not gone through the TMS therapy. So, I recommend it, especially if you have really struggled with depression. Also, I might add that no one at Lakeside pushed this in any way- no email or mailer ads. A few months after I had spent time doing Intensive Out Patient group therapy (after a few days in the hospital), Dr.Y merely asked if I had tried before and if I was familiar with it and suggested I do my own research to decide if I would like to try it. The team looked into my insurance and assured me that it was 100% covered. Overall, Lakeside Behavioral Health has been an excellent mental healthcare clinic provider for me, and I would recommend them to anyone asking. Plus, a major bonus is that Dr. Y does telemedicine, so I don't have to come in for my appointments.

Conner who works for the Lakeside Office is a horrible person to try to speak to. He speaks to…read moremental patients very rudely. He has no compassion or concerns. He is a very bad representation for a Mental HELP facility. Conner should not be allowed to work with the patients. Not only did he harass me over the phone until I showed up at the office on Union. He locked the door when I arrived and told me that the doctor would no longer see me, due to Conner's behavior? I have looked at a lot of Lakesides reviews. It does seem like the office staff & Conner are a big problem for some patients there. I recommend everyone read the bad reviews first! It seems Conner has done & said some horrible things to the former patients at Lakeside Behavior Health.

I really appreciate the extra reading material she suggests, and always look forward to our session. I'll admit, I was reluctant to even try therapy when I was in a place where I needed it the most. So glad to have found her, she has converted me to a believer!

The environment was lovely, very relaxing.

My SIL went to Theresa and had such a bad experience with Theresa accusing her of mistreating my…read morebrother (which btw they have a very loving, and healthy relationship of 15 years, i should know since we hang out every week, and have seen my brother grow into a much happier and very successful person with her). I have a psych degree, as well as working in psych for 8 years, the way Theresa treated my SIL was accusatory and extremely unprofessional. She kept trying to use religion based practices even after my SIL told her she is not religious. After the very harmful and accusatory way she treated my SIL we are struggling to convince her to find a good (or even halfway decent) therapist. Opening up to a stranger is already scary and leaves you vulnerable and to be accused of being a terrible person is just reckless and harmful. This seems to align with the other 1 star review which I showed my SIL to give her some validation. I hope my review can help someone else since my SIL is terrified to post.
