TESTIMONIALS

“TMS has literally changed my life. I began feeling more like ‘me’ after the first week of treatment. I have had depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts for over 30 years. I didn’t even really remember who I was without those things. I tried everything I could think of to ‘get better,’ which did help, but now I know I needed TMS treatment to become myself again.” 
Patient recipient at Freedom Behavioral Health Solutions
 
"...I could not afford treatment... Amazingly, I was awarded financial assistance to receive treatment, and it was absolutely transformative. It has me regaining my life, my happiness, and so much more. It has saved my family and friends from the distress they experienced witnessing my decline, and it saved them from many of the ramifications my illness caused. The impact that TMS treatment has had, made possible only through the financial assistance I received, is beyond words. Similarly, my sincere, heartfelt, overflowing gratitude for all those who made that possible is beyond expression."

"The Charities [LightMHK] is an amazing source of community support. Behavioral Health care is crucial during this day and time, and having [LightMHK] to help access these services could not be more needed. What they are doing for our mental health community is priceless. Seeing the client's face when you tell them that they have been taken care of is one of the most heartwarming experiences. Seeing them take that breath of fresh air and feel that instant sense of relief says it all."
Ursula Pohlman, Freedom Behavioral Health Solutions

"I want to extend our deepest gratitude for the grant assistance you provided. Your generosity has made a profound impact, directly benefiting 18 individuals. Thanks to your support, several clients were able to continue their therapy sessions despite significant financial challenges. Others were facing overwhelming stress due to high deductible insurance plans, loss of insurance, or financial hardships that made it impossible to pay deductibles. This grant has alleviated a great deal of that burden."
Diane Clark, Ethos Therapy and Life Coaching

"Twenty-one patients were able to attend a total of 82 sessions as a result of the [LightMHK] grant."
Michael Welsh, Cornerstone Family Counseling

"The LightMHK grant funds we received are already being put to work, allowing multiple clients facing financial barriers to continue healing when they would have otherwise had to pause or delay treatment.  When you're in the middle of deep work, you need to be able to stay consistent.  As a small private practice with limited resources, we are so grateful!"
Kathryn Thompson, Pathways Trauma Therapy

“LightMHK’s Mission and impact on the Greater Manhattan area is necessary and invaluable. I want to personally thank the organization for their impact on our community’s mental health care. At Pediatric Associates, the LightMHK grant is being used to improve access to behavioral health care, through a program that supplies research-based children’s self-help books to families. When one of our pediatricians identifies challenges with anxiety, sad mood, or stress, our behavioral health team will work with the pediatrician to offer advice and helpful materials to the family immediately. The funds received from LightMHK help me reach a personal mission of helping as many children as possible with different levels of clinical service. Many children will benefit greatly from this first line of service made possible by LightMHK.”
Matt Wassom, Pediatric Associates
 
"This [LightMHK] grant represents more than funding--it's a lifeline. For incarcerated individuals, this grant will allow access to critical mental health care that can be the first step toward healing and rehabilitation. Through this grant, the partnership between Riley County Jail and Pawnee Mental Health has strengthened a shared commitment to treating mental health with dignity and compassion, ultimately building a safer, healthier community for all."
Terra Upham, Pawnee Mental Health
