Unfortunately, negative reviews are expected with this type of agency. If you look up the other places in town, they have similar low ratings from previous patients.

For the past 14 years, I have had the privilege of providing counseling services at Lakeland, and I truly love my job.

I’ve had several stays at Lakeland from when I was like 13 all the way to 17 and I’ve never had any issues. I was one of those kids that liked it so much I’d act out just to stay longer … I know that was bad but it really helped me in my childhood I always felt safe where home didn’t. I hate how all of this mess and negative reviews are out there it sounds like from the employees who could take this resource away from kids who actually need the help. The constant groups actually taught you things and they give you school wor... read more
