My heart is beyond grateful for the commitment SoCal Adolescent Wellness made to our family from the very first phone call. We didn’t know what to do and they patiently and expertly guided our next steps to find a therapy program perfectly suited for our child. It was evident in every interaction with this team their passion for and goal to find health, wellness, and healing for every person who comes to them. This team changed our family’s life for the better.

My child has been in the IOP at So Cal Adolescents program for 12 weeks now and we are coming to an end this week. Our experience within this program has been nothing but a positive one! From admission with Kyle who is an absolute pleasure and very responsive and helpful in the admission process, to Lauren one of the therapists at the HB location. She was fantastic, she was very attentive with my kiddo and had creative ways in therapy to get through to him. My kiddo really benefited from the smaller group setting, he has been to a few treatment facilities before and Socal I can say he has taken the most away from. He loved the music therapy and occasionally they had pet therapy as well. The times also worked well with school schedules which I really liked as a busy working parent. Also from the parents standpoint I enjoyed the Tuesday parent meetings with Sean, I like hearing parent input and learning what my teen is going through from a parent perspective. All in all we had a great experience and for the parent that is looking for help for your kiddo,please, please don’t hesitate if it’s not from Socal please get it somewhere!

This service literally saved our family. My daughter was having a lot of difficulties adjusting to Middle School and her ADHD was really affecting her ability to concentrate in class, and interact with other kids. In working their process we developed better coping and communications skills as a family and my Daughter has really blossomed. She is much better behaved, and has a real set of coping tools to deal with life’s challenges. We are still working with her to improve her grades, and motivate her to do more physical activity, but i have to say it’s like we have a new kid. The program is very holistic. So it’s not just the kid that grows, it’s the family. Lastly, they also do medication management which ends up being almost as important as the counseling.I can’t recommend them enough!

I appreciated the staff and IOP services at SoCal Adolescent Wellness immensely. After a couple of years watching my teen struggle with depression, getting more severe, while seeking help in various ways, I persuaded my teen to try the intensive outpatient program at SoCal Adolescent Wellness. My teen was concerned about the amount of time it would take in the schedule, but once started, was more willing to attend the IOP sessions than to attend school. The staff have been so good with communication and follow up, and I have felt they are very accessible. Through the IOP, my teen has worked with counselors and peers and a psychiatrist, and having that coordination and integration has been a relief. We have a lot of work to continue to be able to feel happy and healthy, but SoCal Adolescent Wellness is supporting my teen and I am hopeful for continued progress.

SoCal was amazing for my family. The people who work here are so understanding and eager to help in any way they can. We had gone to a lot of services before coming here and nothing compares. Even if they aren’t the right service for you, they will help you find the right service. I can’t recommend it more highly.

Watching your child struggle is suffocatingly unbearable, and succumbing to the reality that you, as their parent, are not your child’s actual need is unnatural. I had no idea where to begin. The entire SoCal Adolescent Wellness Lake Forest team genuinely had our back from day one, and I did not have to navigate this on my own anymore. My initial call was a breath of fresh air! Kyle’s efficiency and knowledge matched his patience and intent to understand our needs. He explained insurance coverage, had the answer to every question I asked, and then scheduled the assessment free of charge! It was no surprise the assessment team was outstanding too. We had all the information we needed to move forward, a decision made confidently. My son has now finished the 12-week IOP program and continues to work with his therapist. He is growing healthier each day and has gained more understanding of the life we all deserve. I offer my experience and give all my faith to whoever may need it. You can put yours all in; trust me! I can’t recommend this program, their care team, and providers enough.
