Dana introduced CBT to me and also uncovered some more serious core issues. She helped me get sober and guided me gracefully and gently through every challenging crossroads in my life. I owe so much of my happiness to the work we've done together. If I could work with her 10 hours a week, I would, but I suppose I have to share. *eye roll*

I've had the opportunity to work with Dana over the last 5 months on a range of issues like…read moreanxiety, relationship troubles, dealing with childhood traumas, etc. Her garden studio has been such a pleasure to visit, and I've always felt calm and at ease there. Dana herself is incredibly kind, non-judgmental, and easy to open up to -- I looked forward to our sessions as one of the highlights of my week, and have seen so much growth within myself even in this short time. Starting therapy is one of the best things I've done for myself, and I feel so fortunate to have found Dana.

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.

I did an appeal to get it taken off and she refused. Her answer was I said it. Yes, I said it in a discussion not everything shared needs to be in the medical records either. Felt like she did it in a mean-spirited way. Would never go back to this low energy type facility. Their appeal process is a joke and obviously sides with their staff.
