The staff is professional and engaging.... to be fair they are more like family. Melissa , Mo, JT and Nick are absolutely the best. They support the clientele in anyway possible. There is not a better place to go if you are serious about recovery. The clients are amazing as well. We function as a family and everyone helps to support one another no matter what problems we may have. Everyone has a story and no matter how docile or extreme your story may be you will find multiple people, staff and clients, who understand and sympathize with your situation. So a giant thank you to the amazing staff at Aspire, and yes even to you Melissa... You are all amazing.

My…read morerelationship with friends and family were not good and I didn't know what to do or what would help me. I was referred to Caroline through my physician and I am so glad that I found her. She's helped me see things in a different way. She's given me great advise that I think about often and most of all, she encouraged me and helped me rebuild my relationship with others. She was the one person that I could open up to about my thoughts and feelings and she helped me overcome my anxiety and fears about life. She was there for me during these transitions and for that I am truly thankful to her and blessed that we crossed paths.

Our high-functioning autistic adult was trapped in severe, debilitating anxiety for years. At the…read morestart of therapy he was on two antipsychotics and two mood stabilizers at the same time--just to function. We had already spent more than a decade (and hundreds of thousands of dollars) cycling through countless therapists, psychiatrists, and programs all over Los Angeles with no lasting improvement. What made us reach out to Steve Kassel was his past experience with high-functioning autism combined with his expertise in EMDR and other brain-based, biologically informed therapies. The results were nothing short of miraculous. Over the course of treatment, the crushing, debilitating anxiety gradually lifted and, astonishingly, completely disappeared. What's more, we were even able to safely taper and eventually discontinue every single medication--something we never thought possible. Mr. Kassel wasn't just effective; he was the first and only mental health professional who was able to connect with our individual. We genuinely believe Steve Kassel is a gift to individuals suffering from anxiety. He helped our family member in a way no one else could, and for that we will be forever grateful. We can't recommend Steve highly enough.

Cary Quashen is a God's given Blessing to me. He's taken me in under his wings. He is so friendly. I felt an immediate relief the day I met him. A family member brought me in. After detox I knew my next step had to be After-Care Recovery. Actions is the perfect place to become yourself again. I promise that you and your LOVED ONES. WILL GET BETTER. I can't express in words how wonderful MY LIFE IS NOW. I am in IOP, Intensive Out Patient Recovery Program. I am in groups Monday-Friday 9:00am-3:30pm. We process all day. And I see my very understanding, therapist once a week. Im am 83 days today, Clean & Sober = sober-minded. They are teaching me Not to Use or Drink. I didn't realize what I was doing by ruining my Nueotransmitters in my brain. And building such unhealthy Pathways in my brain. The Addiction is also numbing the pain. Behaviors are our Feelings and Emotions that still aren't Healed yet. ACTIONS is the best in the west..lol. Life will return to not acting out in an Off-Balanced nature. And you will heal and have a fresh needed start. We haven't ever lost ourselves completely. They are here to support and teach us that living Sober and Clean is Rewarding and Long-Lasting. Im going to become a MediCal Peer Support Specialist Certificated worker. All family and addicts and alcoholics can get certified through this program. Cary Quashen was happy for my growth. I could not have done this without Cary taking me in. This pic of Cary reminds me of the day he drove me home in the heavy rain on January 2nd 2026. And at that point I knew I was going to be saved from my life of Caios. Come in with us. Ill be here 6 months to a year. Greatful and all my Respect to All Of You...we dont have to suffer alone. Talk to Cary or any one of the staff members. When your ready their here with open-ended full recovery...it will have a wonderful life long affect for positive things to happen in our lives. See you...Debbie W
