A Transformative Journey with Discovery Center My teenage daughter recently completed the PHP the IOP at the Discovery Center and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the experience. From the moment she was… enrolled, I felt a warmth and understanding that was immediately comforting. Expert and Caring Staff: The team at Discovery Center is exceptional. The therapists and counselors are not only highly qualified but also incredibly empathetic. They tailor the program to fit individual needs, ensuring that everyone feels seen and heard. Their dedication to each participant's journey is evident in every interaction. My daughter spent so much time there, it was inevitable that she would make friendships and relationships even above and beyond the patient-therapist roles. My daughter would come home many times with stories about the staff members that went above and beyond their duties and would show how much they genuinely care about her and other clients. Community and Support: The sense of community within this program is something special. Group sessions were designed to be safe spaces where sharing was encouraged, but never forced. She made connections and the peer support was invaluable. Knowing she was not alone in her struggles changed everything. Accessibility: The program's structure was accommodating, with options for both PHP and IOP sessions, making it incredibly accessible. The flexibility was crucial for my family as it allowed us to balance the program with our daily responsibilities. The staff is beyond understanding with the clients/children with drop-offs and pick-ups, knowing that we all have lives outside of the program. Sustainability: Beyond the duration of the program, Discovery Center offers resources and follow-up support to ensure that the positive changes are sustainable. From workshops to alumni groups, there's a clear commitment to long-term mental health. Personal Growth: I've noticed significant changes in my daughter - increased self-awareness, better emotional regulation, and a newfound confidence. This program didn't just help her cope; it helped her thrive. In conclusion, the Discovery Center has been a beacon of hope and healing in my daughter's life. I would recommend this program to families seeking not just relief but also a path to a happier, healthier child. Thank you, Discovery Center, for not only giving my daughter the tools to manage her mental health but for also enriching her life in ways my wife and I never imagined.

This program saw me at my lowest points. Before coming, I didn't think I'd make it to the age I am now. I was in and out of their IOP and PHP programs, and thanks to the kindness of the therapists and staff, I'm now… doing so much better. Recovery is scary, and therapy for 3/6 hours a day is daunting, but ultimately this program not only changed but saved my life.

Although the mental health battle is never over, after 6 months here, I was sad to leave. It's now been almost 2 years, I never thought I'd make it to adulthood and big thanks to Laura and Brittany, I'm thriving.… Online, the building and idea of 3-6 hour therapy seems depressing, but in real life, it's life changing and interesting every single day.

Here right now it’s pretty sigma Maddie is amazing give her a raise and I love all my pookie bears please don’t dox me, Laura if you see this hi

Went here for about almost 2 years in between the iop and php programs they provided. In coming here I have met some of the most influential people I have ever met and a life long support system. I have seen therapist’s… come and go but ultimately the program taught me incredibly valuable skills that i take with me everywhere i go. Truly has been the most helpful treatment center to note of. Staff is incredibly supportive and friendly and have very healthy theraputic relationships with their patients This is the first place I recommend to those who are struggling because it genuinely helped me find myself. Amazing tools provided for self esteem and anxiety, depression, and maladaptive behavior all around. These people really care and take time to personalize client’s individual needs. Special thanks to the program director who had a very big impact on me ♥️

AMAZING PLACE TEN OUT OF TEN I LOVE THE STAFF INCLUDING LAURA

They treat the kids with no respect and when dealing with racism they don’t take it seriously. They yelled at a client for standing up for themself. Never go there!!!! Melody is an awful person and should not be working… with kids!!! And to be clear I went there and I would never want to wish the same thing I went through to others. It’s worse than res. melody is a deranged individual.

didn’t actually go inpatient but the lady giving me the final assessment on the phone tried to diagnose me with bipolar and compared me to sheldon from the big bang theory in the span of an hour when i brought up the… idea that i might have autism

I went here in 2021, the program manager cynthia was so rude and unfriendly. I was struggling with an eating disorder at the time and she made so many unnecessary comments about it. they tried to scare me into eating.… The only good people from the program were nate and lindsay.
