I have been to several treatment centers so I have seen the way things are done at different places and I can honestly say this place is the best. Everything I ever wanted in a treatment center. Every single staff member is so kind, empathetic and helpful. My therapist was amazing.. she listened and guided me and helped me figure things out for myself without judgement. My case manager helped me take care of things with my job and the dentist and everything I needed. There is only 6 clients so the groups were really intimate and comfortable. The group topics also taught me a lot. Not to mention

My family member had experienced very traumatic mental health issue. Without going into details, I will say that our family needed to find help immediately. After spending time calling quite a few of the facilities, I learnt that sometimes there is a waiting list. Also, often, even if you have a PPO insurance, many of them are not interested in working with the PPO. (They would rather have you pay up front and get your reimbursement from the insurance yourself). Also, few of the places I called sounded like they didn’t care much. When I called the Socal Empowered, I was surprised to receive a

After coming here to work on my mental health, i can say that this place is amazing. when i came here i wasnt sure how much i would improve or change. i stayed here for about 40 days, which seemed like only a couple days, and after leaving i felt like a completely different person (in a good way) the house itself is beautiful & the scenery outside in the backyard is gorgeous, looks like a forest. very peaceful. the group therapies are very comfortable and at least for me it was easier than expected to be vulnerable and actually work on what i wanted to work on. the individual therapy with lisa

SoCal Empowered, my personal review.
As we know mental health is a very complicated thing. Its always a case by case situation unfortunately it could take days, weeks, an even years starting with the right therapists. Finding the best psychiatrist to help manage your mental health it can often be intimidating. At first your insurance company may offer a long list of potential providers, but how do you know if they are any good or actually have your best interests at heart only thinking of where the next payment is coming from or how good your insurance actually is. Which it makes people like us

If you or a loved one has mental health issues, So Cal Empowered is the place! My daughter went in for 40+ days following a suicide attempt. She went in literally hating life, and came out my sweet little girl again, ready to go to a step down program and get her world back in order. They treated her with dignity and compassion, and gave her the medication, support and therapy she needed. We are beyond grateful to So Cal Empowered and all of their staff... Thank you.

My daughter has been battling depression for several years, then came substance abuse. SoCal had been a blessing and a new beginning for ALL of us. I highly recommend their help and services to anyone in need. I am eternally grateful for all they have done. She is doing very well now and loving life (most of time) again in Cali. Thank you SoCal!!

My son has struggled with mental health issues for the past 5 years. He has been to 4 rehabs, 4 mental hospitals, and 4 different residential treatment programs over the years. We were referred to SoCal Empowered and finally have seen a breakthrough with his mental health! The environment at SoCal made him feel comfortable and he could be his self. It's a home environment so it made him feel "at home." The staff became his friends and they answered any questions I had very quickly. They found a step down program for him that would best suit his needs. I would recommend this place to anyone who

SoCal Empowered has exceeded expectations when I was seeking treatment two years in a row. The first time I sought help with my mental health, however given my resistance to changing my behaviors surrounding my addictive lifestyle I was unsuccessful in my first attempt to get sober. Knowing this place existed and was a good fit for anyone seeking hands on treatment from a staff who cares deeply about their clients and their success was paramount in my journey on the path to recovery. With ample space for a whole 6 clients (not a lot of clients) there’s comfort to be found here as well as excellent

Huge Huge thank you to SoCal Empowered for helping my daughter! This place is different from others in so many positive ways, I can’t possibly list them all. First and foremost, they are focused and committed to helping individuals with their mental health. JP was amazingly helpful to work with, before, during and after her stay. The staff at SoCal, are all highly qualified and very good at their jobs. I asked my daughter about her experience there and she said, the staff is very caring like she has never seen before. She really felt like she was listened to and heard and that everyone’s opinion
