HORRIBLE ALL AROUND…read more I don't even know where to start. To put it in simple terms, the people at this place worked directly with Lauren Brock of the advocacy group to violate my client rights and engage in many ethical code violations. I am traumatized from my experience. All they did was cause immense distress by creating a toxic and unstable environment, tell me one thing and do the other, then gaslight me when i'd get frustrated. They held financials over my head constantly in order to comply with their orders, and often made me sign ROIs i was no comfortable signing. All my private therapy sessions were relayed back to Lauren Brock, someone i did NOT want to sign an ROI for. All they wanted was a paycheck from my wealthy father knowing he was willing to pay as much as it took to "cure" me. Horrible. Their "amazing" psychiatrist also put me on meds that made me gain 30-40 lbs, i was pushing 170 at one point, and all i was told by the team was that i am showing signs of an eating disorder for trying to restrict myself and lose weight. They then proceeded to put me on an SSRI to "manage the dysmorphia" despite me having a literal BIPOLAR 1 DIAGNOSIS. That's actually insanity to me. Anyway, they lied on my discharge forms, took months to correct it, and then didn't actually correct it. In fact Laura made it seem worse than it was before. They also were extremely difficult to communicate with when my corvette got stolen off their property. Accountability seems to be a difficult concept for them to grasp despite non stop preaching that to me for over a year. My car was a 55k corvette, it's nothing special. and it was stolen at the BW house... Now what if someone decides to bring their 200k luxury vehicle? If you're charging us so much money you'd think you'd keep the house secure. With all this being said, Jeff, Dr. Aye, and nurse Kay are the exceptions. They were the only genuine people who actually cared about helping me, but they had no power or room to do so because Lauren and Laura Berman were running the show. Stay away from these people if you want real help for mental health or substance abuse. If you're a parent looking to support your child, STAY FAR AWAY. they will manipulate you. they will cause such a huge rift in your family dynamic while placing the blame solely on your child. it creates resentment and a lack of trust. My family dynamic has healed tremendously since I was able to escape this place and show my father the true reality of this place. We haven't fought since. Yet under their "care" there was fights every week, we barely talked, he didn't trust me, i didn't trust him, and everything was purely transactional between us. Wonderful dynamic you created guys! Be proud of yourself! Please note this is all alleged until proven to be true in court.

(This is my review for the SF office, but I am sure it is relevant here as well. I have a suspicion…read morethat this type of behavior may allegedly by systematic) My experience at The Camden Center, which I entered in 2022 seeking help for what I initially believed was Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and PCOS, proved to be deeply concerning. I left feeling worse off, largely due to what I perceived as significant issues in diagnostic clarity, treatment approaches, and financial interactions. Here's a detailed account of my journey: 1. Diagnostic Clarity Concerns: During my time there, the clinic director, Dr. Reina Remigio, expressed to me that she did not believe I had BPD. However, upon my discharge, my records, as I understood them, continued to reflect this diagnosis. I was also concerned that documented symptoms I experienced, such as mania and insomnia, which can be indicators of bipolar disorder, seemed to be overlooked. It was disheartening that a later independent assessment by another professional was able to provide a clear bipolar diagnosis in a single session, something I felt The Camden Center struggled to achieve over several months of treatment. Looking back at my Camden Center medical records, I found no documented evidence of me displaying classic BPD behaviors like "I hate you don't leave me," "fear of abandonment," or "lashing out." 2. Questions about Treatment Approaches: I was prescribed herbal supplements for PCOS, which I felt was not an evidence-based medical approach for my condition. Additionally, I continued to be prescribed Lexapro even when I was experiencing symptoms that, in hindsight, I now understand could indicate bipolar disorder, which SSRIs like Lexapro can potentially worsen for some individuals. It also felt confusing to continue Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when my BPD diagnosis was being questioned by the clinic director. 3. Concerns Regarding Financial Discussions: My case manager and other staff members engaged in what I experienced as aggressive discussions about their overnight program. Despite my clear statements that I could not afford this program, I felt consistently pressured to enroll. This approach felt more like a sales tactic than a focus on my individual patient-centered care. 4. Formal Complaints Filed: I have since submitted formal complaints to the relevant California licensing boards regarding my experiences with Dr. Reina Remigio and Jacqueline Marcil and the overall care and financial pressures I encountered. To Prospective Patients: Based on my experience, I strongly encourage you to: Demand diagnostic assessments in writing and ensure they are consistent with your understanding of your care. Be cautious of treatment recommendations that feel financially motivated. Remember that a clinic's "prestige" does not always guarantee the quality of care or a patient-centered approach. Non AI prompt: I went back and forth on how safe it would be for me to share my medical records, and yeh it puts me in dicey territory. But here is the reality, most reporting to the proper boards rarely results in actually disciplinary action. Just look at the 8 passengers case, that therapist had been reported multiple times and was able to maintain her license. The system protects bad therapists and bad psychologists. They can charge you exorbitant amounts of money and when you show them how you aren't better they can say like "well you consented to this treatment". As a patient you aren't safe. So yeh, I am putting myself in a bad situation because what happened to me at this facility damaged me and my family members. They knew I was struggling to pay for the program and they told me they would help me get better, and while they did provide some help, it was not 35k worth of help, maybe 1k at most. I would never do to someone what Jacqueline and Reina did to me. I would never take advantage of someone in that way, just for 35k. My life is worth more than that. The bipolar symptoms were obvious. There is no excuse to have ignored my repeated requests for an assessment and there is no excuse for a facility that charges 35k to have repeatedly overlooked bipolar disorder when I was displaying almost none of the unique identifying traits of BPD I can't include private discussing with other psychologists regarding the misdiagnosis as that is protected or something, IDK. So I am including my medical record showing the proper diagnosis after leaving Camden.

The facility itself is very cute, for lack of a better word. It's unassuming from the outside, but…read morelooks almost like an old Spanish-colonial style house in the main house with a kitchen area for patients and a koi pond in the outside sitting area. In terms of care, I really enjoyed being a patient here. This was my first experience as a patient in PHP/IOP. I was a patient for three months, dealing with mental disorder that impaired my functioning in work, school, social life, and self-care. You are assigned an individual therapist to meet with weekly and/or a case manager. You can request to switch individual therapists if you don't feel a good enough rapport between yourself and your assigned therapist. The group therapy schedule is pretty static week to week, but there is almost always a choice between two groups, so you have some ability to "customize" your schedule. I didn't enjoy all facilitators, but I enjoyed most and learned a lot about how to manage and process my emotions/thoughts/behaviors/traumas. The psychiatric team put me on the first medication combination in my life that really worked for my specific set of symptoms. They are courteous and attentive. They remember even non-clinical details about me when we meet weekly. Mission Harbor is also much more affordable (in my opinion) than other centers offering similar care. I paid my insurance's deductible--with which Mission Harbor provided flexibility due to my personal financial hardship--and the team was diligent with handling my disability insurance claim in a timely manner. I would recommend Mission Harbor to anyone looking to seriously challenge their mental disorders and carve a path to a better way of living and thinking! I would even readmit if I felt I needed the care and support again.

The next most important reason I chose 1Method was for their commitment to an exercise program that was built into the weekly schedule that included the guidance of a professional trainer who worked with me to build new habits that have stayed with me. I have stayed sober since August 25 of 2019 . I am grateful to live at the beach where I ride my bike every day and prepare healthy, real foods for myself and my family, because those things helped me build new habits that were foundational to my long term success.

As a young woman in my 20's, I always found it particularly challenging to find a therapist who blends wisdom and experience while being able to relate to the millennial mindset and unique challenges we face. I was fortunate enough to find Sandra on Psychology Today and I'd recommend her over and over and over again! She's empathetic, wise, spiritual, and chameleon-like in her approach - meaning if she senses you need more structure and coachy type assignments and books and podcasts etc, she's overflowing with resources. But she never pushes them on you. She's extremely professional but also very approachable and flexible. Unfortunately I had to stop seeing her since I moved out of state, but I can't speak highly enough of her vigor and passion and unique approach to therapy!

I had to miss my second appointment due to a last minute urgent situation and they charged me over $100 and told me I couldn't see my therapist until I paid it. Then they immediately started texting and emailing me constantly to pay them to the point it felt like harassment. Then they promptly sent it to collections and tacked on another 100 for the hell of it. I talked about financial stress in my first session and how much I've been struggling and they did this the second session lol. Anyway, they just want your money, steer clear. Also, they respond to and gaslight every single person that raises valid concerns about them on here. If you're antagonizing 15 different people about the same issue they all have with your business, you might want to reflect on your propensity for deflection and blame-shifting behavior. Maybe do some box breathing exercises, or journal about it instead.

I've read that the reason you don't need a license because you don't provide counseling. That seems pretty strange, considering you treat people with addiction and mental health issues, because the one thing this young man needed was direction under your care, and you failed him. This family now is irrevocably broken. I cannot imagine the pain Cindy Crawford felt the moment she got used that her only male child was gone, but I do know with sudden loss and grief is like, so I do know that cry. It's time you closed your doors and re-examine what you're doing, and maybe just become a spa. Because making so much money on other peoples pain and suffering really is a kind of exploitation. Cindy Crawford and Randy Gerber are not addiction, experts, and neither you, but if you were not so greedy were perhaps impressed with treating someone with celebrity, that young boy might still be alive. I know his sister will be an only child, and she will go forward with this unbearable, loss and grief because you were not up to the task. And now this family is shattered. Rest in peace Presley. You deserve so much better than what you got.
