So far my daughter has been receiving great therapy and seems to be improving her mood. She likes coming here, in fact she has her favorite counselors and therapist. She feels that coming here is helping her. Will be updating my review as our journey continues.

They are the utmost professionals and also very kind. They referred me to someone who can accommodate my location and schedule. This is the ideal experience in finding a therapist and having the insurance aspect taken care of. Super professional, super nice. Thank you!

If you are concerned about the mental health of you or your loved ones, stay away from this place! Their 'partial hospitalization' program for teens is terrible. The kids play games, send text messages, and are permitted/encouraged to engage in romantic relationships. 'Therapy' consists of telling kids that all their problems are their parents' fault, followed up by public ambushes on 'group' night. This place seems more interested in cashing the checks from insurance companies and keeping kids there as long as possible to make money off of them than in actually helping families. There are many better mental health alternatives out there -- take advantage of them, even if you have to fight your insurance company, and by all means avoid AO.

I love that this location is close to my home.Colleen is amazing and I truly feel rejuvenated after my meetings with her.I only wish the lobby/waiting area were a bit more private. It's felt a little crowded my last couple visits.Accept most major insurances and they have a sister office in Cerritos.

This is one of the best counseling centers and IOP programs that I have been to. I started in an Intensive Outpatient Program here for mental health and trauma in Oct 2012. I have since graduated from the program in January 2013 and have continued in individual therapy with Pam Lewis. The groups are very constructive and are extremely helpful for those seeking a support group and a way to process their issues. Stacy is a wonderful group leader who is very sensitive and works well with individuals and in group therapy. She was in charge of the psychodrama group which helped me make huge leaps in recovering from life-long trauma. Other groups that were very helpful were DBT and CBT. In my time at Alternative Options I have watched patients in mental health as well as drug/alcohol addiction find acceptance, comfort, love, and support through the groups and therapies offered. I have been thrilled to watch myself and others grow and gain strength through this program.If you are currently seeking out mental health or addiction recovery treatment I highly suggest Alternative Options. If YOU want to get better they have the knowledge, resources, and staff that will help you reach your goals. Thank you Alternative Options and Pam for your continued support in my recovery. My life has forever been changed because of your acceptance and help.
