Our Approach

They are easy to talk to and always give the best recommendations. My mood and overall mental health have never been better.

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.

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.

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.

While I knew I was not qualified to self-diagnose, I knew enough to know something was just not right. I have always been a social butterfly. Over the last couple of months I had no energy for the activities I usually find such pleasure in and no desire to see my friends. Coming to The Meadowglade has really helped me to get a handle on the inner issues that caused the change.

The Meadowglades staff not only understands the many different levels of mental health disorders, they understand that each person is different and the approach needs to be specific for them. I went for help with my Bipolar Disorder because my traditional therapy just wasn't quite enough. The addition of more experiential therapy, like yoga and aquatic modalities has really helped my mental health.

I’ve been on and off different antidepressants for the last 15 years. When it seemed like the newest one wasn’t helping, my regular doctor suggested TMS and referred me to the Los Angeles Outpatient Center. It’s been about two months and TMS has helped so much. My symptoms have dramatically decreased, and I’ve had a much better quality of life.

The team of doctors and therapists are the best of the best. You can feel that they truly care about their patients and that they are people in crisis, but human first and that's what shows in the care they receive. We saw it first hand with the care and concern our daughter received and she is now thriving. We are grateful for everything Beachside Teen Treatment did for our family.

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!

After I described my situation to them, along with the steps that needed to be taken before I could start taking medication, they volunteered to help me. Fantastic physicians! Wonderful people who are also extraordinarily compassionate doctors.
