Lesley Hartman & Associates Inc.

Terrible experience with Lesley Hartman. Paid close to $3000 up front for their DBT program and completed he 1st 3 modules and payed $150hr for bi-weekly counseling . I had to leave on a out of town business trip for 2 months and gave them 2 months notice that I couldn't attend the final module. Asked if I could attend their following module and they denied it, kept the money, and ignored my emails and calls. Asked to speak with Lesley and kept getting lower level staff who just repeated their rigid policies. They are milking the most vulnerable and insurance companies in a cash grab, look elsewhere for DBT!

My first DBT module was not the best experience. I was frustrated that they don’t do direct billing or some kind of payment plan. I mean, your average person does not have $1000 just sitting around. I did not like the facilitators, as they made the environment feel like an elementary classroom and I often felt patronized. At first, I couldn’t get over how they require you to be on camera for “confidentiality reasons.” How would they ever know if there isn’t someone else off-screen in the room? I eventually got over this and just accepted how silly it is. I had no intentions of continuing into the next module with LHu0026A. Though when I found out the next module would be taught by different instructors, I decided to keep going. My second module was much, much better. Jessica H. and Sarah M. were great. They made the environment much more comfortable and were very personable. I sincerely hope LHu0026A go back to in-person sessions, because I think we’re losing a lot of the experience and benefits of being in the same room as the group. The cost also does not appear to reflect the money they’re saving by not having us in-person.

Kendra Blackburn who is a counselor there is amazing. I wish my medical plan covered counselors but it only covers psychologist unfortunately .

I am attending both group and individual therapy here and have never had a better relationship with the faculty of any mental health treatment center. You get back what you put into therapy. They are incredibly helpful and very supportive.

I waisted my time, and money here, for online sessions, and they couldn't even sign a reimbursement claim, prior to starting the online sessions, before I opted out, and completely lost any interest in their treatment. Misleading, money grabbing treatment, that totally defeated the purpose of anger management, or DBT therapy. Mindful Therapy's in Dartmouth is highly recommended offer these cash grabbing associates.

I had an extremely positive experience with Lesley Hartman u0026 Associates. I would highly recommend this practice, especially Jessica H. Their DBT program was well worth the time and money I put into the treatment.

Had an assessment done by Jessica Parker which caused more anguish and frustration than anything. I did end up getting a diagnoses but I had to chase her the whole time. She would push appt, push deadlines, not respond to emails, and use personal excuses for her delays. Anytime I called her out for this, she would apologize, but then do the same thing again. A year later, I reached out to have paperwork filled out, and she said she could help, and I now find myself in the same boat, chasing her for appts and not having her respond to my emails. For a professional organization in this field it blows my mind how Unorganized, inconsistent, and unhelpful she is, I've given up!
