    When I first started TMS treatment, I was in a really difficult place mentally and emotionally…read more Walking into appointments day after day could have felt overwhelming, but Maleah and Sara made Neuro Wellness Spa feel like a place of comfort, hope, and healing. What I will remember most isn't just the treatment itself--it's the way they showed up for me every single day. They greeted me with kindness, listened without judgment, celebrated the small wins, and offered encouragement on the days when I needed it most. When you're struggling with depression and anxiety, having people who genuinely care can make a bigger difference than they may ever realize. Maleah and Sara have a rare gift for making patients feel seen, valued, and supported. They never made me feel like just another appointment on the schedule. They took the time to get to know me as a person, and their compassion helped make one of the hardest chapters of my life feel a little less lonely. Mental health treatment can be vulnerable and scary, but their warmth, professionalism, and genuine care created a safe space where I felt comfortable showing up exactly as I was. The impact they had on my healing journey goes far beyond what their job description requires. Thank you, Maleah and Sara, for your patience, your kindness, your laughter, and your unwavering support. I am deeply grateful for both of you and for the role you played in helping me find my way back to myself. Neuro Wellness Spa is fortunate to have such extraordinary people on their team.

I just finished my third round of it and it's made such a huge difference in my life. I'm basically anxiety free! The staff is great and the office is kept clean.

They truly want to help you here and make their care accessible. If you have thought about trying TMS you should definitely get ahold of Neuro Wellness Spa!

I started with Jennifer recently in looks for an EMDR specialized therapist that took my insurance. Her website was very enticing and seemed to be a good fit with how she advertised herself. I began using her services and quickly I found out she was not a good fit. I wanted to give her some time to see if the rapport would build. I am someone who does not have a set schedule and she highly pushed for a weekly appointment. I also work with another therapist who does not take my insurance but absolutely have seen improvement and help with that one, so I was dividing time between the two of them. I am also in the travel industry and do NOT have a set schedule so my schedule changes weekly; some weeks are busier than others. I told her weekly would not work with me, and bi weekly would be best. She canceled the next appointment and I would continue with the following week. The following week ended up I needed to travel and needed to cancel that appointment as well. She makes you sign a cancellation policy which states cancellations you pay out of pocket, which is standard if you are cancelling 24 hours or less. I canceled my appointment 3 days prior with ample time within policy guidelines. I immediately got an email for rescheduling and I stated I would not be able to reschedule due to overloaded schedule. She then proceeded to tell me that since I cancelled I would have to pay out of pocket 140$ since she gave me a "free bee" cancellation already. Again she did not, that is when I told her I was switching to bi weekly because I did not want to continue weekly with her. I truly believe she is in this profession for self gain and not to truly help others. In 15 years I have never had such an absurd canceling process like it is a blood oath to go to a therapist that you reach out to for help. Do yourself a favor, unless you want to be burdened and bound to this therapist. Seek someone who truly wants to help and not find a way to take your money at any means possible. If you are seeking someone's services, you shouldn't be forced to. If you seek a hair stylist and you cancel an appointment within respectable amount of time, do they force you to go and get their services? No. I felt like I was in another forceful trapped relationship with my therapist. It's a NO for me.

And that same level of kindness and quality care was what got me through the toughest 30 days of my 39 years alive. From Anthony and Taj helping me get to the bottom of my mental health issues and subsequent substance abuse, to Mario, Q and the rest of the support staff always cheering me up with a smile, compliment, or other kind words that gave me a sense of self-worth and purpose that I hadn't felt in a long time. I was extremely close to going to another facility but had a really bad phone call with their Director of operations and made a last minute pivot to GL. In a way, I'm so thankful for how poorly that call went and got unsupportive he was because otherwise I'd have gone there and not experienced everything that Gratitude offered me. If you're reading this now, you're likely in a place similar to where I was on March 3rd. Scared, guilt-ridden, humiliated and humbled. And while I deserved to hug the cactus for the poor choices I'd made, the support, administrative and medical staff gave me a sense of self-worth and determination - without which I could very well still be in the dark cloud that my life had become. I have a long road ahead to get to the life I, and my girlfriend, deserve but feel I've got the best head start and confidence to make whatever time I've got left on this earth the best it can be. You got this - all it takes is having faith in yourself and the team at GL that will guide you through the process of detoxing, getting sober, and uncovering the tools within yourself to make a full recovery.

These…read moreplaces are good at getting you to lie to yourself and others that you are ready to get clean. I noticed I lied to myself and others that I wanted to get clean even though I truly didn't want to get clean. I wanted to get high every day, every hour, every good second. They smiled at me, patted me on the back, praised me like a saint, and even got me free Starbucks from nice people all because I ACTED like sobriety was MY beautiful goal. I got better, much better now that I am honest with myself as well with people. This place taught me that and MOST OF ALL - BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF!!! Do not question or think differently or challenge anyone true to Alcoholic's Anonymous or Narcotic's Anonymous meetings they require you to attend. It's so insulting to an atheist like me. It's torture!!! Nevermind my beliefs. F 'em! My beliefs are rubbish and frowned upon. I also had a serious sleeping issue. I've been tired all my life since 4th grade and it turns out I have had undiagnosed sleep apnea for a very long time without proper medical equipment to help me get a full night's rest. I was "lazy" to them. Others understood I think... I clearly understand that I met remarkable counselors there. Some I disappointed, some emitting false compassion or even apathy. Fortunately it was the nice handful of counselors that I knew wanted me to make it. Unfortunately I dismissed and took for granted their persistent helping hand. I truly commend and honor Ms. Antonia, Orlando, Trey, Brittany, Patty, and Leah. They are the only reasons why I'm giving 4 stats instead of 2. It is so true what they say - Through failure , even a couple dozen failures plus a willing mind comes success. I fumbled so badly here, left AWOL twice and never came back. I tried to come back but I was not wanted or welcomed. That's fine. I learned from those two experiences nonetheless. On a side note, the guys are so bleeding horny, they can come off as rapey off site, away from the facility. Also, the females clients love frivolous drama and no wonder they go out and relapse almost as pitiful as I did relapse. If they focused more on themselves than others, specifically other females, they could discover themselves and only themselves. Not use useless facts or false allegations as a distraction to not fulfill their need for self improvement and face their flaws. It's hard but doable.

    Hello, My name is Jacqueline, and I was recently discharged…read morefrom Del Amo Hospital on July 4 at approximately 06:00. I was hospitalized for postpartum depression and placed on a 51/50 hold. Initially, I was terrified and didn't know what to expect. As a nursing mother, I had many concerns about being separated from my baby and maintaining my milk supply. Fortunately, many members of the staff helped make a very difficult experience more manageable. I would especially like to recognize Raymona, Shirley (with piercings), Jocelyn, Deborah, Diego and Ryan. They were kind, attentive, compassionate, and professional. They treated me with dignity and empathy during one of the most vulnerable moments of my life. Other staff members were also kind, and I wish I remembered all of their names so I could acknowledge them as well. For the most part, the rooms and common areas were kept clean, and I felt that patients were generally treated with respect and listened to. Unfortunately, I also experienced a very frightening and traumatic interaction with Nurse Tatiana. On my first night at the hospital, she withheld my breast pump despite my repeatedly explaining that, as a breastfeeding mother, I needed to pump every three to four hours to avoid pain, engorgement, and potential complications. I first requested my breast pump around 19:30. but was not given access to it until approximately 23:00, despite making multiple requests and returning to the nurses' station several times. During that time, my left breast became severely engorged, I was leaking breast milk, and I was in significant physical pain and emotional distress. I cried in the hallway because I felt helpless. Rather than showing compassion, Nurse Tatiana approached me, stood only a few inches from my face, and repeatedly asked in an aggressive tone, "Why are you crying? What have I done to you?" Her demeanor was intimidating and made me feel frightened. As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and domestic violence, this interaction was especially triggering and left me feeling unsafe. Fortunately, three other staff members intervened on my behalf and insisted that I receive my breast pump. I am grateful for their advocacy. When I later asked Nurse Tatiana for her name, she refused to identify herself and was not wearing a name badge. After asking several times without receiving an answer, a kind Asian nurse with her hair in a bun provided me with Tatiana's name and explained how to file a grievance. I submitted a written grievance before my discharge. I respectfully ask that this incident be thoroughly reviewed. Please, look at the cameras and verify what I am telling you is true with other staff members. I believe Nurse Tatiana would benefit from additional training in trauma-informed care, compassionate communication, and the unique needs of postpartum and breastfeeding patients. Patients admitted to psychiatric facilities are among the most vulnerable members of our community, and they deserve to be treated with patience, dignity, and respect. Before becoming a stay-at-home mother, I worked for seven years as an immigration case manager serving vulnerable populations, including individuals with severe mental illness, substance use disorders, and those with extensive criminal histories. Regardless of a person's background or circumstances, I always believed every individual deserved to be treated with respect, professionalism, and compassion. That same standard should be upheld in a behavioral health setting. I also noticed that on my belongings inventory, Tatiana wrote the word "chonis" instead of "underwear." While this may seem minor, I found it unprofessional and inconsistent with the level of professionalism patients should expect. Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns. I appreciate the many staff members who cared for me with kindness, and I hope my experience can help improve the care provided to future patients, especially postpartum mothers who are already navigating an incredibly vulnerable time in their lives. Sincerely, Jacqueline
