Lifeskills Orlando – Orlando

Highly recommend PHP/IOP program to those struggling, thank you to all the therapists, intern therapists and techs that helped me though-out the months I was in the program!

This is a great facility and I really enjoyed my stay here therapist, dr. Yolanda was great. George and Francis were also great.

You are better off setting your money on fire. I don’t know how anyone who really needs help is supposed to benefit from this program. Not only that, but they told me I was in network, and I’m not at all, so after I… paid for a month up front, they told me that I had met my out of pocket and didn’t owe anything going forward. I was in residential and they take away your phone so I couldn’t verify. Turns out that was a lie, and they deny ever saying it. But they let me continue treatment for weeks believing that, when the insurance had stopped paying. So now they say I owe 57k for this waste of time experience. I don’t know how they can call this ‘DBT’ they shouldn’t be accredited l.

Mrs Ursula is the best worker and great listener Mr George is the best worker of the month if u going through something contact them they can help out. I recommend coming here to get help and they will help u though and… though I am one of the people that are there if I can do it u can too

Treatment facilities are not a “one size fits all.” I would personally do some more research before sending a loved one here. Trauma, eating disorders, and developmental conditions (autism/ADHD) are not a primary focus… in the group sessions. I was making good progress and was trying to step down to IOP, when my therapist told me the director of the program wants people to stay in PHP for a “minimum of 60 days.”.They will milk you dry of all your funds. I didn’t see the psychiatrist once while I was there but was put on very serious medication by an uncaring psych nurse that actually made me worse. I had a medical marijuana card at the time and the psych nurse almost demanded me to give her my card because “they don’t want patients on marijuana during treatment.” They had extremely unstable patients sit in on group sessions and they would antagonize both the therapists and patients to the point that everyone was visibly uncomfortable (they made the therapists cry). Only once did they ask these patients to leave the room. Overall, it felt like an unsafe place to work on your mental health. This place left me worse than when I entered and I still have trauma from it to this day. At the end of my stay, I was asked for a “5 star review.” The more I sit and think about my stay at Pasadena (now called Life Skills), the more I unravel about the corporate world that is mental health treatment. It’s a shame that when people are in crisis, they are still taken advantage of. I do not think Pasadena is educated enough to provide support on the previously mentioned issues. I am excited to continue my treatment with my outpatient providers.

Shoutout George, Melissa, Mario, Mr. Curtis, and Francis! They the BEST!!! I want to also thank Adriana she’s the best therapist at Lifeskills. I would recommend someone who needs help to come here! If I need to proceed… with someone I know they here to help me time after time! Lifeskills will help you out with anything and everything in mental health issues!

Lifeskills really helped with my rehabilitation. The staff was exceptional. Very clean place and family-like environment that was always willing to go above and beyond for me. I highly recommend them if you need mental… therapy

I cannot say enough good things about Life Skills Orlando and the incredible care I received there. From the moment I arrived, I was treated with compassion, patience, and genuine respect by every staff member I… encountered. The environment they create is one that truly makes healing and growth feel possible. A huge thank you to Mr. Curtis, Ms. Ursula, Mr. George, Ms. Melissa, Dr. Branch, Mr. Benoit, and Ms. Shay for the kindness, support, and encouragement they showed me throughout my time there. Each of them made a lasting impact on my experience in their own unique way. I also want to specifically thank my therapists, Adrianna and Ariana, for helping me through some incredibly difficult moments with so much understanding, care, and professionalism. Their support meant more to me than words can fully express. And thank you to Chef William for always accommodating my vegetarian diet and making sure I felt cared for in even the smallest details. That level of thoughtfulness truly stood out to me. Life Skills Orlando is filled with people who genuinely care about the individuals they help, and I will always be grateful for the treatment, support, and compassion I received there.

I feel like everyone helped me here. The experience good overall. IMO I and George really helped me during my stay. Overall I would recommend Lifeskills to anyone looking for help.

George, Tonya, and Francis helped me out so much in RTC. They are doing great work in there.They are very caring and safe in their practice. They also respect your privacy as well.

Great place to go to when you need help! The staff here is amazing! I want to give HUGE shoutout to Mario, George, Curtis, Melissa, and Yolanda!! They one of the reasons why I like Orlando! They very funny. I love going… on the outing with residents and staff. I recommend this place to anybody that needs HELP! I’m going to miss RTC!

My time at lifeskills was one of learning, connecting, and sharing. I learned to explore several different pathways that lead to more meaning for life and gave me guidance towards success. I appreciated the staff and… most of all the programming. Thank you lifeskills!!

Shout out to George, Melissa, & Patricia for making me the woman I am today. Come to life skills if you need help or getting on your feet! Thank you Curtis for the wonder trips! Love you all😘

Before I came to lifeskills my life was a mess. I was extremely depressed and anxious all the time. The therapist here are amazing. George and imoni who are techs are phenomenal and they are always there for anyone who… needs them

This place is so good for getting help! Shout out to the therapists and techs who keep it real esp: George Khamari Isabella Kim

I’ve been attending lifeskills for almost two months. I have To say in Orlando this is one of the best facilities I’ve attended. The staff here is great and attentive, I thank George and Melissa for their positive… attitude and personality. They’ve helped with the time I’ve spent here. For anyone who’s looking for a facility to help them, I recommend lifeskills, they truly care.

I called for services and they hung up on me after being "transfer" to the right place Thanks for noting.

I had a wonderful time at the Life Skill Orlando, everyone was helpful and supportive and push you to be the best. It was a good environment to get focus on yourself and get better. The staff was amazing and always… willing to be there for you and help. Thank you to George, Patricia, Khamari, Alex, Curtis, Francis aka Superman,Tisha, Tamara, Imoni, Lisa, and Andre.

My time at Lifeskills Orlando in the RTC program was phenomenal! I can say that all the staff were so kind and sweet, they were all very helpful. To name some of the staff who met those expectations were, George,… Patricia, Khamari, Alex, Curtis, Francis aka Superman,Tisha, Tamara, Imoni, Lisa, and Andre

I hade been in Pasadena Villa for several years and it was an awesome place to be! I went directly from the hospital! I received a great deal of help! However, when Life Skills of Orlando took over a disaster was borned… with Joes management! The quality of Care depreciated more and more! We lost staff that had been there helping us! Some did not even give notice because they were fed up dealing with Management. The environment became toxic! Joe told my Case Manger to let me know immediately that I was terminated because of lack payment! It was a Monday, I left earlier because i had an appointment with my Primary Doctor. Coming out of the appoint I get this call! I was not to returned! No referrals? no paperwork ect! Very unprofessional! I cried! I found out through the insurance that all payments have been up to date! Then I called the Case manager and she said that Joe mentioned this is not a facility for long term treatment. However, there are several people there that are there long term! You know who they are Joe! so I was kicked out without resources! went into deep depression and it has cost me time to be able to deal with all your lies and abuse of power! I would like to give thanks to Marnita and coach Curtis that were always available to help! They are legitimate wise, knowledgeable and honest persons! I am sorry I couldn't say good bye and graduate from the program Like Pasadena use to do. With those beautiful big cards Marnita use to do! Joe has destroyed my dream ! or may I say his bad management! I Hope the facility will regain it's true essence again some day!

I came to RTC seeking for help with my mental health. As an anxious but very independent person as well, the transition was a little rough. However, the staff and techs assisted in making the transition easier. They… were always checking in on my wellbeing, assisting as needed, but also planned fun activities and found myself laughing often with them. As hard as RTC was in terms of intense therapy, there were days I struggle a lot. I would have outburst and at times the staff would get the worst of it. However, at the end of the day, they always understood and didn’t hold a grudge. I want to give the biggest shout outs to George, Melissa, Patricia, Tea, Francis, Imoni, Tisha, Kamari, and Alex. Thank you so much for your support as I’ve done the hardest things I’ve ever done. Words cannot describe the amazing community you all have built, the safety at the villa, and the feeling of “a home away from home.” Thank you for even being interested in my lifestyle outside of the villa, whether it be future goals, current events, or even accomplishments from my past. I know I was challenging at times, but wouldn’t be able to do this without y’all. Another big shoutout to the nursing staff! Val, Angie, Carlee, Gui, thank you for making sure we’re all in good health! I know you all go through a lot (making sure we get our medication on time, scheduling appointments, etc) and your work does not go unnoticed! I will say as well, I don’t think I have ever felt more comfortable with asking anyone in nursing about my own health concerns. I knew I could come to you guys with no judgement.

LifeSkills has been great to me, very helpful in everyday stress. The therapists, staff, Dr. Yolanda and Dr. Ryan are awesome. They are all so patient, kind and really help you!

My experience with life skills has been amazing! They have helped me out so much. The staff all around has been super friendly and the therapist are more than supportive in my journey to recovery. I’d like to give a big… shoutout to Imoni the staff member for making me feel included into the community and for being there whenever I needed help or to talk. This has been a wonderful place that I recommend to everyone!!

Really positive experience being here. Special thanks to Imoni and George, and my therapist Yolanda for taking my treatment into consideration and always being around when needed for clients. Thank you! 😊

I truly don’t have enough words to express the gratitude I feel for this amazing team. George, Curtis, Yolanda, Alex, Khamari, and the entire nursing staff are not just professionals — they’re compassionate, dedicated,… and genuinely invested in every person who walks through their doors. Each one of them played a role in helping me through one of the most difficult chapters of my life. Their support didn’t just aid my recovery — it saved my life.
