When you call in, you get a receptionist who cannot forward any calls. This results in not getting answers immediately . Staff seems caring but there were many staff changes while my son was there, which resulted in many pages of treatment. The kids constantly complained about the quality of the food ..many meals wete inedible, so they are offered sandwiches as a substitute, which consistency of bread turkey and nothing else .nit the most tasty sandwich ..for the amount of money they charge for treatment, they could afford to hire a better chef .

Newport Institute changed my life, I went to the Cerro Vista house at the lowest point in my life…read moreand I was immediately surrounded by staff that made me feel cared for and protected. It was a safe environment where I was able to learn how to cope with my trauma and deal with life's struggles in a non self destructive way. The therapists, the care coordinators, the counselor, the dietician, every single staff member there made me feel like there was hope and they all helped pave the way for me to still be here today and not just surviving but truly living and chasing after dreams

We've done counseling before and enjoyed it, but Susie is another level of professional. I loved how structured each session was. Susie was always prepared to have us talk thru something, there was always a game plan! She would give us a practical tool to help us do so to where we were able to effectively say how we felt while the other person listened, and roles would switch. My husband and I have used these tools any time there's conflict. Susie modeled how to empathize with my spouse, which was helpful for me. I was able to vocalize what was upsetting me because she offered a safe space and asked me the important questions. We would keep going to Susie forever if we weren't moving out of California. Invest in your marriage, in yourself! Oh and I was even able to bring my 14 month old when I couldn't get someone to watch him. She had age appropriate toys for him to play with too - that was wonderful!!!

I am so grateful that Susie has been my therapist since early 2018! I have found her to be…read moreincredibly supportive, non-judgmental, and responsive to my changing needs. She has tenderly guided me through the hardest times of my life, and works with me to establish goals so our sessions are productive. Her patience, understanding, and generosity of spirit have been a great comfort to me, and I can honestly say that I have walked away from every one of our sessions feeling better, even when I wasn't sure beforehand that I would. She follows up with me after treatment, provides resources to further support me, and checks in with me from time to time, which I appreciate. Her demeanor immediately puts you at ease, so even if you have never been to a therapist before, it's easy to talk to her. Thank you for everything, Susie!

I found Tim after looking and calling several places due to going through an episode of social…read moreanxiety affecting me at work- "I need help," was what I told him over the phone. I left a voice message, and he called me very soon after. I remember feeling a sense of comfort and calmness after speaking to him bc he seemed genuinely interested in helping me and also accommodated an appointment to see me as soon as was possible. In person, about 2-3 days later. Because it was social anxiety, I knew I wanted to see someone in person. So we met in person. His office is plain and he had the word "believe". It was simple without distractions. I needed this, bc the days that followed were walking into this place of collapsing my thoughts and feelings. Tim's approach is simple and it's realistic. But it is only simple for the very reason: that Tim is extremely passionate about the subject and therefore knows it very well. Therefore going through the sessions you begin to learn concepts and in the process you begin to learn about yourself, your reactions, and how correction is possible. It's realistic / common sensical and when you realize this, you feel hope that change is possible. Hope is important, bc it's the right step to begin rerouting your thoughts, highs / lows and find a balance in life. Tim is passionate about this. Tim as a person is not only knowledgeable and professional, but he is kind and generous. Generous in sharing information- to teach you as much as he knows and he is also generous with his time. Never rushing you or holding you to a minute maximum. In him you will find a wise and emphatic man, bc of this, trust emerges and you will find it easy to open up. Thankful for Tim!

In fact, it was 3 years of therapy that, looking back, really on helped me in the first month to deal with the initial reason for seeking help. I which I would have known about Self Help back then and probably would've saved years of therapy that was going no where. From my very first session with Nancy, I felt there was real progress. I got insight to my learned behavior from past experiences and how that affected my reaction/connection to the world around me. Both my internal and external reactions continued to shape the present experiences that caused continued fear and guilt that was paralyzing. I wasn't myself. But with Nancy's guidance, I learned more about my internal processes and that understanding empowered me. Through each session and "homework assignments" I gained new confidence and regained control to bring about a positive behavior change that allows me to enjoy myself again. I also brought my adult son and my husband to these sessions and it has helped them as well. Also, although these sessions were not covered by my PPO insurance I was able to get reimbursed through my Healthcare spending account which is a huge plus. They are very punctual, professional, and responsive. Though sometimes they don't answer the phone right away, they usually respond within the hour when I leave a message. They are very clear about their no show policy at the first visit. They are respectful of your time and they expect respect for theirs as well. I've been to over a dozen sessions and never waited more than 5minutes for my appt. I've had to reschedule twice and never got charged a no show fee because I notified them at least 24hrs in advance. It is a professional practice for excellent self help therapy.

I never got a call back not even the day after. This place is extremely unprofessional & clearly does not care about their clients, just the money. A simple message saying they couldn't see me would've gone a long way. I was left alone and emotionally distressed. I would never recommend this place to anyone.
