Our Approach

I began treatment for anorexia at LAOP after being hospitalized. Between daily nutrition counseling and therapy, I am slowly building a better relationship with food and with myself.

Thank you to the clinicians and support staff that supported me during my year-long treatment. I cannot express the amount of gratitude that I have for helping me through my recovery process. Although my profession is not in this field, you all have incidentally instilled a desire in me to share my story and to help others who are struggling with their own mental wellness situations. Again, thank you.

Our niece has been dealing with anxiety since before the pandemic and had started taking a turn down a scary path. We were there with her parents when reaching out to Beachside and what a tremendous help they have been in helping her deal with her anxiety and substance abuse. They have an amazing team there to support and who are dedicated to their clients.

After the death of my husband, I had severe depression and anxiety that I thought I was handling ok. It wasn't until my friends reached out to me about Los Angeles Outpatient that I realized it had gotten so much worse. The team of professionals working at the center have just really helped me with tools and techniques on how to deal with my anxiety and depressive moods. I'm grateful to this program and to my friends for recommending me to it.

Lest anyone who hears postpartum depression think it is not a real thing, my sister is living proof that it is. She was always so happy around my three children and couldn’t wait to have a baby of her own. She was as baffled as we were about her symptoms. The Meadowglade has made a huge difference for her.

I am so happy with the programs that Hillcrest has. My daughter has depression and the things we have tried so far were not really helping long term. Like many, we did our homework and found this very nice facility. Everyone is very friendly and caring here. The rooms are nice, even the meals look delicious. It took a little work, but she is engaging with the counselors and other people and is really making some headway. It will still be some time, but I am thrilled with her progress, and her positive attitude.

My daughter has never had the best relationship with mealtime, but I never imagined it would become a full-blown eating disorder. I am very grateful to the staff at Los Angeles Outpatient for giving her a safe environment to get better.

I've had anxiety my whole life, and since it's been so bad, I've been unable to acquire a good education or a career, so I've had to rely on my parents for financial support. Because of this, I've been dependent on them. Because I am an adult now, my parents have decided to put me in this facility so that I may work on being more independent. I am overjoyed that they decided to go with the Meadowglade.

Without Hillcrest’s compassionate staff, my daughter would not be with me today. They helped her gain the skills she needed to manage her depression and helped me learn to work with her. We still have rough days, but now we can cope with them when they come. Thank you, Hillcrest!

The best decision I made for myself was to finally get treatment for my addiction. It was the hardest thing I think I’ve ever had to do, there is no doubt about that. For quite a while I was too scared to even try to change that about myself but taking those steps has given me a new life.
