They set up a care plan which allowed me to work on problems I was having. Each staff member was supportive and encouraging. I would recommend Halcyon if in a crisis situation.

Up right now at 1AM from Night Terrors that I have because of HELLCYON. I have 2 claims with CDSS…read moreand 1 claim with JFS Victim's Advocate Services because of the traumatic experience and physical infections I received from this facility. During my stay there I was pressured to cook and clean for 14 people- beyond the standards of food prep and regular chores. The food was rotten and expired most days. There was barely hot water for 3 dayd to shower and clean with. Because of the unsanitary practices I was treated in the ER with a bacterial abscess on my foot, bacterial cellulitis, & Hypokalemia from vommitting & diarrhea caused by stress and illness. I had to call 911 emergency services on the overnight Staff when I was experiencing untreated physical and mental health problems. Once first responders came- the 2 overnight staff and assistant director Cassidy Pacheco had LIED and said that I was "suicidal". This false statement caused me to be in an unwanted 5150 hold. I went into Halcyon voluntarily and left the facility involuntarily once I spoke up about the mistreatment and pointed out the Program Director/Facility Owner Priscilla Grossman's expired license posted outside the Psychiatrists office. The psychiatrist from "Rady's Children's Hospital" refused to give me the medication I came in with- instead giving me only Benadryl for PTSD panic attacks for 3 days. After I was discharged and went to pick up my belongings. Half the medication that was expected to be returned was not. I was told that by Director of Nursing Carmen, that once I took Benadryl that gave the facility a right to "discard" my medication. I have spoken to numerous people who's previous claims of abuse and malpractice weren't believed at the time. This facility is a dual diagnosis facility and unfortunately Kaiser sent me to the wrong facility because I don't have drug/Alcohol abuse issues, but being there for over a week and witnessing/experiencing the failure of the mental health pandemic was eye opening. I have insurance and was treated terribly here. Most clients here are homeless and don't have insurance. Most of these clients never speak up because they won't be believed or it's "better than being on the streets". Is it, if you are at risk of serious infections and worsening mental health? No, it's not! Halcyon Center DO better. Community Research Foundation (CRF) whom is the non profit organization overseeing this hellhole DO better. I hope this facility is either shut down or does a serious self construction with a non corrupt director/assist director, more competent nurses and clinicians who are ACTUALLY available, an OMBUDSMAN or Client to Provider middleman, fair distribution of donated food (not staff stealing all good food and giving clients moldy bread and bad meat to cook), and to meet all legal and regulated standards with just a little ounce of morality and human decency to those less fortunate or trusting you with their/their loved ones health!

I am sorry this is such a long review. It needs to be said. This is our family's story about this…read morelousy woman. This woman should never be allowed to work with children. She is a narcissist and does not care about her patients. In our case, our children? Not only had she been a doctor for less than 3 years at the time. She had called the police 6 times on her clients, who found out about her nefarious ways. I was skeptical of her when we decided to send our children for therapy during our divorce because she kept referring to custody when it should be about coping skills and co-parenting. Custody between the parents is handled in a family courtroom. I questioned her ability, and she did not like that at all. She couldn't control herself. She stood in front of the door and made slapping motions with her hands in front of my face instead of assuring me that our family would be ok. She said, "How would you feel if I walked into your business and asked about your capabilities?" Then, because she was so mad, she did something that became so destructive to our family. She had to call her liability insurance first to see if she could get away with it. I properly requested my files, and so did my ex-husband. It took her two months to finally send them to me (he got them in a week). She produced three clinical notes, which said different things about the sessions. We had to hire an attorney and take her deposition along with her daughter"s. After they were taken she contacted our attorney to change it TWICE. She was subpoenaed to testify (not in our divorce) and was so scared to do it, she said she was going to be "out of the country" during all the hearing dates. Then she was impeached for lying to the judge. The DOJ, CPS, and a well-known forensic psychiatrist found her actions to be abusive to the children. Other families testified that she talks about other people's cases during family sessions, which violates HEPA. Her daughter, the receptionist, testified that Dr. H bills insurance for sessions she never had and tells people she doesn't take insurance for specific tests she has to send away for results. Then when they pay cash for them, she mysteriously never has the results, and she calls the police. She has been reported multiple times. I see there are other reviews about how much people like her. There are so many different doctors out there who are not bad seeds. Why take the chance on your sweet children and their privacy?

Dr. Hovsepian and her team are awesome!…read more When I first came to Dr. H my son was the target patient. She was able to assist me with him. Together we were able to get my son an IEP in the 10th grade! Anyone who has dealt with San Diego schools know that they have been known to dismiss some children as defiant rather than a learning disability. He was able to graduate, what parent would not be thrilled! And then there is me. I was experiencing a life of going through the motions and doing what I thought I was supposed to be doing as a wife, mother, and employee. I was unhappy and did not know how or what would make me happy. I was smoking 1 and half packs of cigarettes a day, overweight, never exercised, in a miserable marriage, and stuck in a position at work with no advancement. My husband and I decided to split and I had no idea what to do. I sought Dr, H again, but this time for me! Through therapy I am what I currently have coined Version 6.0. Over the next couple of years I have changed everything in my life. I survived a divorce and I am at peace and I make mindful decisions about what I do and who I choose to spend time with. I have earned my BA, quit smoking, I exercise, yoga, and meditate. In the process I have lost weight and am the healthiest me I have ever been, body, mind and soul! I made all these amazing changes with Dr. H's caring and support! Thank you Dr. H.

Healthy Life Recovery gave me something I didn't know I needed: time, safety, and a real chance to…read morerebuild my life. I was here for over a year and I can honestly say this program provided me with the tools and resources to save my life. One of the things that sets Healthy Life apart is that it's a year-long program. That year gives you enough time to rebuild a solid foundation, whether you choose to use it or not. So many other programs don't offer that opportunity. Healthy Life does, and that extra time is what helped me get steady in my sobriety. Another thing I can't say enough about is the staff. There is always someone you can reach out to, day or night, and they will respond. I've had moments where I was struggling or a friend was in need, and staff always showed up. That kind of care and compassion isn't something you find just anywhere. The BHT's were a huge part of my journey here. On my hardest days, they met me with patience, encouragement, and even humor. They knew how to show up for me in ways that lifted my spirit and reminded me I wasn't alone. Some of my toughest moments turned into turning points because of the support they gave. The groups taught me things I still carry with me, the therapists genuinely cared, and most of the staff are in recovery themselves. That in and of itself gave me so much hope, because I could see people who had been where I was and made it through. I never felt alone here. Bonnie, the clinical director, guided me with wisdom and compassion that kept me grounded through some of my toughest days. James, who keeps the operations side running so smoothly, is the heart and engine of this place--his work doesn't always get the spotlight, but it absolutely shapes the experience here. And Keith and Ryan, the founders, are not like other owners. They built this place from the heart, and it shows. They don't just sit behind the scenes--they're present, they care, and they make sure every single person who comes through here is treated with dignity. I never once felt like I was just a number or an insurance policy. I felt like a human being who mattered, and that kind of leadership is rare. Healthy Life became my San Diego family. From the day I arrived with my dog Apollo, who was welcomed like family too, I knew I had found a home. That sense of belonging has only grown stronger. Even after graduating, I'm still connected through the alumni group, which keeps me accountable and plugged into a community of people who want the same thing: to stay sober and live better lives. Today, I am over two years sober, something I never thought was possible. When I first came here, I was hesitant, unsure if this was the right step or if I could even make it work. If you have a loved one struggling with addiction or if you're reading this and you feel the same way--I've been where you are. All I can say is: take the chance. This program gave me a life I didn't think I'd ever have, and I'm living proof that it's worth it. Healthy Life Recovery gave me the foundation, the guidance, and the love I needed to get here, and for that I will always be forever grateful.

If it wasn't for Healthy Life Recovery, I'm not sure that I would be here to write this review. Words can't begin to express the gratitude that I have for the staff & program. I will forever be thankful for this experience.

Dr. Corbett may not be for everyone, but she has done wonders for me. I have been her patient for…read moreover a year and can attest she is absolutely empathetic and extremely observant. She does not kiss your ass. I don't pay people to do that. I see her to stay grounded and process situations in a healthier way. I have seen dozens of therapists for depression and anxiety issues. Dr. Corbett's methods do work if you pay attention. The science regarding cognitive restructuring and environmental conditioning is legit. I think she is a great balance to any prescribing psychiatric doctor, constantly reminding you about the positive impact of changes YOU make instead of giving some new drug all the credit. I highly recommend her to anyone who has not found the "right therapist" yet; she will be different, and that might be just what you need.

It was unsettling at first to reach out for help. I had a lot of reservations and felt as though I…read moredidn't really deserve it. There were many days in which I felt as though my problems just weren't big enough to really need therapy. Other days, I was too stubborn and in denial, thinking I could do it on my own. However, it was one of the best decisions that I've ever made for my mental health and stability. Taking that step and calling Serene Health helped me see that, no matter how insignificant you may think whatever you're going through is, it really isn't. They made me realize that, yes - I can do it on my own, but I don't need to. They are there for you in any way you need them to be. Serene Health exists for us. The process is simpler than I thought it'd be too, and they've been very understanding and accommodating from the start. I've never felt looked-down on or pitied. I feel heard with them. Personally, I can say that my therapist, Amy, has honestly been a Godsend. She's helped me get in touch with myself and let go of things that were holding me back - some of the things I wasn't even aware of until she helped me take off those rose-colored glasses. She took the time to really see me and didn't let any obstacles stop her from finding the best ways to help me. And it really helps that I'm able to talk to her from the convenience of my own home. This experience has rekindled that fire, that drive and passion to live again instead of just exist, going through the motions. I have hope again. Thank you, Amy. And thank you, Serene Health. I highly recommend reaching out to them.

Sorry I even asked my insurance for help, since I got assigned to Serene Health…read more I spent a total of maybe 10 hours in communication with 5 different people. No practical help. At all. I was a domestic violence victim, had emergency surgery and found out I had cancer all in the week. After an almost hour long assessment with housing coordinator, who I had to contact after 2.5 weeks (she said she would call me back with options in a week), texted me the number to a charity; one that I already tried a month prior. It's as if she didn't listen to me at all during the assessment for my needs. Then I needed my case manager to find out why my walker hadn't been delivered. Never did. I had to call on my own and find out the order had been cancelled and rework the whole thing. I needed help with transportation costs, no. I needed help getting OTC meds, no. At the end of the day I only got a headache from them Wasted my time when I was sick and exhausted. I did most of the contacting healthcare providers, resources and then have to report to case manager what I did. Cancelled as soon as I could and then harassed me with calls and texts until I told my insurance to get them to stop before I put in coercion complaint. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN PAID, NO THEM! Good Riddance.
