Poorly run facility that has very young staff with inadequate experience. Corporate run facility…read morein a sterile environment that is geared solely toward treating teenagers and not adequately setup to support adults facing real life issues who are admitted as part of the entire insurance industry scam that takes place these days. Be sure to adequately read all of the fine print during your intake process, as their admitting staff is very sneaky in the ways they pressure you to sign with them. It was like I was being prosecuted by two defense attorneys when I was undergoing my initial intake procedures with CBH - formerly insight. Read the other reviews on insight and you will get a true feeling of how the facility is still poorly run today. Care quality can be vastly improved, as one of the therapist is not even licensed and still trying to acquire their mandated hours while working on the job and providing treatment. The level of therapy is self evident and not up to par with previous therapist I've worked with outside of CBH. The actual facility itself is cold, grey and white in color inside and is essentially a former concrete warehouse turned into an office/therapy setting. Epic failure if you ask me. Their are three windows to the outside world from the inside, there are clear enamel covered concrete floors, and do be fresh white paint slapped on the walls to give the fake appearance that the facility was recently remodeled. C'mon now, anyone can apply a bandaid over a wound to hide the truth the lies beneath. The doors and sound proofing between therapy rooms are so poor that they have to use "white noise machines" to mask your therapy sessions from other clients to abide by HIPPA rules! Just buy areal solid wooden door and use weather stripping and endure your office doors seal adequately and add some carpet to each room and they will be more sound proof. It doesn't take rocket science to see that the facility management is poorly run at CBH. Kaiser Permanente and UCLA have better run and managed IOP programs if you do your research. It is unfortunate as the staff really try their best; however they really are just reading off scripts quite often in group therapy sessions and it's apparent when you are enrolled in the program that there is plenty of room for major improvement in their IOP program overall. Corporate run facility that is in the money making business, not healthcare industry! There is no empirical evidence nor data that can back up their claims that they are truly interested in treating each of their clients uniquely difficult mental health diagnoses. Some of their external staff has even mentioned that the Van Nuys facility is lacking far behind in comparison to the Pasadena, Los Angeles, and Manhattan Beach or Redondo Beach locations. There is definitely vast amounts of room for improvement in this facility. For the amount of money they charge your insurance, you'll never be able to receive that same expected level of mental health care at CBH.

Seriously amazing!! We participated in this program for a year with our teenage son and this team…read morebrought our family from a state of complete emotional chaos, to a place of love and harmony in our house. We all put in the work, and although it is tough sometimes, it is WORTH it! We saw our son's confidence grow, he was able to make friends for the first time, he was challenged in a loving professional environment and we all grew so much. Our communication is much improved and this team worked hard to make that possible. Before we started this program, our house was full of yelling, screaming, lying, slamming doors, suicide threats, running away, refusing to attend school, etc... Now, I'm here to tell you that no one is walking on egg shells anymore, this kid has straight A's in his Jr. year of High School. He is in the choir, does his homework without being asked, goes to school without complaint, and here are some real life quotes I literally NEVER thought we would hear: "Thank you so much, I really appreciate you" "Is it ok if I vacuum my room" (Almost fell over from this one) "Can I go to Six Flags with my FRIENDS?" His room being clean and grades looking good are just perks if you ask me. The real reward is seeing his confidence, hearing his laugh again, and how much love our home is filled with now.

Dr. Corena and the team display so much care and advocacy towards community members seeking psychological services (therapy, couples, children's therapy, etc). The clinic also provides immigration support with psychological evaluations for applications. Services are available in many languages (including Spanish) which can be hard to find at times. Services may also be covered if you've been a victim of crime & the team can help you apply for additional benefits. I've never seen a clinic go above and beyond more than ABHS. I've recommended this clinic to loved ones and friends, everyone. You'd be in great hands here.

This place advertises that it helps people with various issues, one of the specialties is family…read morecounseling. They claim to have "warm and supportive counselors". BULLSHIT! Our pediatrician and a therapist at Children's Hospital recommended we find counseling for my 5 year old grandchild. I knew somebody who went to Counseling West and he raved about their services and how much it helped him, he gave me the contact info, so I gave it to my daughter. What kind of an asshole tells a mother who is desperately trying to get her son help for a very real issue that "We don't deal with people and their custody drama?" I will tell you... a cold hearted human who did not listen. She did not hear that we have a 5 year old having panic attacks because he is so frightened. Does it matter that's it's coming from his father? I think not, what matters is he needs help to sort through this. This has nothing to do with a custody battle. It is no wonder we, as a society, are in the state we are in. People who need help, who seek help are not getting it. There are not enough mental health doctors to go around and in our case nobody has time for us. And then you have mental health "professionals" like this shithole, who over the telephone make a judgment about someone they have never met, about a child who desperately needs someone to confide in, and they turn their heads the other way in disgust. Shame on you for not listening. Shame on you for not recognizing that a 5 year old having panic attacks is a serious issue. And shame on you for being such a cold hearted asshole.

I was finally referred to a Dr. Lina Suchov of Encino CA, by Regal Medical Group and Humana (she accepts other insurance carriers). People this doctor is absolutely THEE best!! She relaxes you, has a very pleasant demeanor, listens intently and asks great questions to get all sides. I cannot recommend this doctor highly enough. She's just fantastic and me and my family member look forward to each meeting. Each time I go (3x's so far) I leave with a burden or issue left behind (I have a lot of issues so every time I loose or lighten that burden is a victory). I really don't have adequate words to describe how very pleased we are with her. People, if you have any kind of mental burdens this is the doctor to see. Many problems I have that I've discussed with her have been resolved because some of my issues she's had experiences with also. She truly is a great doctor. We just love her!! I give her 10 Stars. **********
