I had a super great time. The staff, including all therapists and nurses, were amazing with handling my personal needs while also attending to my fellow group members. The food is amazing, and free of charge for patients which I enjoyed because it was one less thing to worry about. I was skeptical about attending group therapy as I am a very shy person, but it proved to be extremely helpful in getting me to be more social and comfortable, while also getting me the tips and tools I need to be successful in the future.

I loved going through the 12 week program, it’s not for the weak and they push you to be honest and authentic with yourself. The therapists were all amazing, Cassandra was the highlight of each day coming in here as well as part of the reason I stuck it out for the amount of time. It’s also cool to be in a group setting and listen to all the different perspectives, young and old, there was no separation due to age. I would definitely come back if I felt I needed more assistance with my mental health because this has become my second family in a way.

Thank you so much Loma Linda for this program. Cassandra my therapist is so amazing she really helped me learn to cope with anxiety and depression. I’ve gotten so many tools here and I am much healthier mentally. The group therapy setting is so helpful. I had a whole team taking care of me from drs to therapists. I’m so grateful. I recommend this to anyone who wants to grow!!

My experience with the Partial outpatient behavioral health program was absolutely amazing. It was dynamic with all the different clinical therapist and my psychiatrist Dr. Green was caring and took the time to actually talk and be compassionate towards my issues. My main therapist Stacey was so insightful to what was going on with me and my emotional states I would not have been able to get through without being I. The group I was placed into. Thank you Loma Linda Murrieta for this wonderful program and for showing that I am capable of self love and compassion.

Sincerely,

This program is the most in depth program.My therapist Cassandra was very in tuned to my needs and growth emotionally. This program WORKS , I would highly recommend it to anyone going through mental health issues. The care they provide is a five star care that even Includes lunch. I'm healthier today than I have been in a very long time. I have better skills to handle what life throws at me because of this program! Thank you Loma Linda BMC!

If the thought of taking control of your mental health feels scary, exhausting, even unattainable LLBUMC is your life raft. They deal as a whole body and soul program. The therapists (shout out Cassandra!) treat you with respect, no matter your sex, age, or level of illness. Group therapy means you build community and find common ground. It means you are guided by the therapist as much as you're showing them and how you're needing to be supported most effectively. I cannot speak more highly of the staff, they are kind and understanding and still know when to push back on you for your own progress. The daily lunch is a godsend for people with dietary issues, it helped me rebuild an appetite and that fueled my healing. Trust the progress. Truly.

The amount of positivity in this place is indescribable. It's so beautiful. I made so many friends and am happy to now call them family! I may be done with the program, but the skills and the people I have met will always stick with me forever. This is literally the best program for anyone looking for group therapy. Stacey, my main therapist in the Discovery Track, was absolutely brilliant. David, another therapist who works there, has such an intelligent mindset and really knows what to say all the time. There are so many more people I haven't mentioned, but I love these guys so much! Thank you guys for an amazing 8 weeks! 10/10 would recommend to anyone needing help with depression, anxiety, stress, and / or more! ❤️

It’s been some time since I completed the Courage program at Loma Linda, and I’ve had some time to reflect. The review I left originally, while accurate, seems insufficient now. Going through this program is the best decision I’ve made in recent memory. The compassion, the empathy, the wisdom, the genuineness, and the humor of the staff in this program is unlike anything I’ve experienced for most of my life. They will push you, they will challenge you, and they will do it with compassion, and genuine care. They taught me so much about myself, and they taught me how to look inside myself and actually begin to make sense of what I find there. These folks at Loma Linda University Behavioral Medical Center are truly deeply caring individuals, with ceaseless wells of wisdom to share. They will meet you where you are, and if you engage with the program, they might help you learn how to meet yourself where you are.

This program saved my life in more ways than I can count. The staff are all phenomenal human beings who genuinely care, and Daniel, David and Mielad have been particularly instrumental in the progress I’ve made in this program.
