(03/02/25) DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS WOMAN!!! SHE'S TOO…read moreBUSY!!!!! and she's RUDE. A counselor is supposed to create a safe space to talk and have each party open up amongst other things. She was shrewd (Not respectful) and yes, seemed "too busy" (mentioned over and over that she had other people that wanted help) or "too popular" to help our family after we ALREADY on-boarded with her! We decided to go with her and yes do paperwork to get us signed up. Again her bedside manner is RUDE and our whole conversation lasted maybe 5-7 minutes. Respect is a two-way street and I did NOTHING but try and obtain services with this person just have them be judgmental about me within less than 5 minutes. And again mention over and over that she had alot of other people that wanted help. Is this how most therapists talk to patients on an initial call????? People don't get on here to complain just because. We all have very busy lives and would rather be doing something else than calling a professional out for being RUDE and wasting peoples time. She was POINT BLANK discouraging towards me. She mentioned several times she ONLY works with clients that want to save the marriage and that she has a alot of other people that need her help besides us..... on our first telephone call. Yikes!!!! My husband and I wouldn't have done all the paperwork and kept calling YOU for a session if we weren't ready...... She was condescending and wanted to make sure we were ready to do "the work", which I said I was willing to do. We even waited almost a month to even talk to her and made sure to fill out all her required paperwork...... Again worst Therapist I've ever encountered. Not caring, not supportive, talks down to patients and people looking for her help, just not nice or helpful in anyway ..... Do yourself and your spouse a favor and find another therapist. Very Biased. Not a neutral therapist at all. I was simply looking to work on communication and wasn't even given a chance to speak about any real issues or have a real session. I've done therapy before and this has horrible. Hard pass!!!!!!!!! RESPECT IS A TWO WAY STREET. WHICH IS WHY WE DECLINED TO WORK WITH HER AND ALREADY FOUND ANOTHER MORE QUALIFIED THERAPIST. Her credentials mean nothing if she cant hold a respectful and meaningful conversation with people - maybe she needs more up to date training. I'm sure she graduated A LONG time ago. Yes maybe she was a good therapist and once was nice and helpful therapist long ago - but her most recent reviews are in FACT bad and rightfully so! ***Update: (03/04/25) She also came on here a day later and tried to lie/bash me and say that I was using "accusatory language" and that she declined to work with our family when in fact I DECLINED HER SERVICES after how RUDE she was on the phone - what kind of counselor does that on a first call!???? 18 years of experience .....You think she might be a little nicer to people on the phone looking for her help. I do want to save my marriage but not with this woman's help. She did NOT respond to me KINDLY, and in fact I DECLINED TO WORK WITH HER after the way she spoke to me after 5 minutes. Go ahead and giver her a call and see for yourself. Make sure you trust who you have come on board to help you and your spouse. I never have been talked to like this in my life by any doctor or therapist. I will be Filing a complaint with California Board of Behavioral Sciences. Horrible treatment and dialogue. Plus we already found another therapist on-line and HE was very helpful and took the time to meet with both my husband and I. Good luck to anyone else out there looking to work through stuff in your marriage, dont just go with anyone especially this lady! Update: 03/10/2025: This woman came on here again and tried to defend her rude behavior and again make false claims. For someone who is too busy to help others - she has alot of time to come on here and keep making remarks about me... AGAIN DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME CONTACTING THIS THERAPIST. I've already found help elsewhere and it was truly a blessing in disguise.

{THIS IS FOR THE MADRONE LOCATION IN MORGAN HILL}…read more I had a truly positive and meaningful experience during my stay at Madrone Crisis Residential Home. The environment itself is beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by lovely scenery that genuinely feels like a place meant for healing and recovery. There are also plenty of activities available, which made my stay even more enjoyable--everything from knitting and crocheting, yoga mats for stretching or yoga, workout machines, art supplies for creative projects, beads for making bracelets, and a wide selection of books focused on recovery and substance abuse. What made my stay especially exceptional, though, was the staff. I want to give a heartfelt shoutout to Monsae, AJ, Ariana, and Ray. Each of them went above and beyond to ensure I felt safe, comfortable, and cared for. They were consistently attentive, accommodating, hardworking, and kind. Ariana, in particular, stood out for her attentiveness and compassion--she truly made a difference in my experience. The most impactful part of my stay, however, was working with Jen, the head therapist. I am diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and during certain episodes, I struggle with intense feelings of isolation and anxiety, often convincing myself that everyone dislikes me. During one particularly difficult hypomanic episode, I experienced a severe panic attack while alone in my room. The staff quickly noticed I wasn't acting like myself and responded immediately. They contacted Jen, knowing I felt safe with her, and she came to support me. Jen knew exactly how to help me deescalate when nothing else was working--not even my usual coping strategies like guided meditation. Her presence, understanding, and skill truly helped me through a moment that felt unbearable. I am incredibly grateful for her. I also want to thank my case manager, Lily, who was attentive, efficient, and proactive. She helped me get approved for benefits in a timely manner and consistently followed through on everything that was needed. Her reliability made a big difference in reducing my stress. Another positive aspect of the program was how manageable everything felt. The chores were simple and easy to keep up with, which made daily life feel structured without being overwhelming. The groups and therapy sessions were on the shorter side, but they were still effective, engaging, and thought-provoking, which I really appreciated. As for feedback, I do believe there are a few areas for improvement. It would be incredibly beneficial for new clients to meet with a therapist within their first week, as adjusting to a new environment can be very anxiety-inducing. From my experience and conversations with peers, this was not always the case. Additionally, while therapists were sometimes available for brief emergency check-ins, I believe structured, weekly therapy sessions should be standard and scheduled automatically rather than only offered upon request. This could potentially prevent crises like the one I experienced. One other observation is that some of the older staff members could be perceived as less approachable or more strict with female clients compared to male clients. I noticed that rules and accountability, particularly around chores and snack policies, were not always enforced equally. Creating a more balanced and fair environment for everyone would make the experience even better. Overall, Madrone is a wonderful place filled with caring, dedicated individuals who truly want to help. The sense of support and compassion I experienced made it feel like a second home. I feel very fortunate to have been placed here and would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a supportive and healing environment. Thank you, Madrone, for everything.

*READ THIS BEFORE YOU DECIDE WHETHER THIS PLACE IS FOR YOU*…read more I'm a recent client. I stayed at California Mental Health for 5 weeks. This was my experience. There was multiple instances in which HIPAA guidelines have been violated by Jeannie, the executive director. It's concerning to know that someone who has the authority to hold someone accountable for violating HIPAA guidelines is setting the example that it's something that is acceptable. I was in the kitchen cooking along with the chef, and clients/staff walking in and out. She admitted that she was at fault for taking a personal call at the dining room table and confirmed that she did in fact see that there were other people in the room while she disclosed a patient's medical history, including their full name.The HIPAA guidelines have continued to be violated even after I expressed their concern. There have also been microaggressions stated by this individual like assuming a client doesn't speak English because they speak multiple languages and stating they dont look like their ethnicity and specifying what ethnicity they "look like". More than often she is not updated on the patient's progress. There's a level of professionalism that is not being met. I don't believe it's appropriate to comment on one's progress without doing their due diligence to have the most updated information before inserting her opinion/suggestions. There is also a lack of communication when changes are happening. For example, when Norma, the in person therapist was no longer with California Mental Health it was never something clients were made aware of. All the clients were in the dark waiting for her return. Clients were told by the director that there was additional support coming in so that we would have more support. It was worded as if Norma would be coming back. The fact that she was gone was not acknowledged. There hasn't been a therapist in California Mental Health for six weeks. The accommodations and support on the website do not provide a realistic expectation of what it's like to stay here. Unfortunately, not every insurance covers clients to stay here so potential clients should make an informed decision before paying an insane amount to basically live in what felt like an Airbnb with roommates. Most of my stay consisted of no groups and down time. With that being said, the website should describe a more realistic expectation. Groups don't happen most of the time. There is a lot of down time to the point where you are better off renting out an airbnb at a more affordable cost. There is a lack of communication by both Jeanne and the program director, Josh. The staff is often unaware of changes and left in the dark about daily client activities. Josh is not reliable with client requests. It typically takes about a week of constantly asking before there are any art supplies approved/delivered. Example #2 Instead of fixing the master bathroom California Mental Health thought it would be appropriate to provide pliers to turn on/off the bathtub.Its interesting that they will confiscate any "sharp" objects including tweezers, but find giving clients pliers acceptable. This ended up causing a massive water spill which a client ended up fixing temporarily while the plumber came to the house. Example #3 Clients were also put in an uncomfortable living situation due to a new client consistently banging their head on the walls. Both the staff and clients expressed their concerns which were completely brushed off. We were all forced to deal with outbursts. It did not feel like a safe environment. Example #4 I was uncomfortable sharing a room with my roommate due to very intense outbursts and was put in a position to address the room change directly with the roommate even after expressed my concern. This led to a lot of tension in the house. The other client turned very passive aggressive towards me even after moving rooms. It is unfortunate that a place one goes to find peace there is an overwhelming amount of added stress. This is not a residential home I would recommend to anyone. I would like to take a moment to express my deepest appreciation to the A.M/P .M/NOC staff. They were all angels! If it wasn't for their kindness and genuine personalities I would have left. They went above beyond in all aspects.
