Pasadena Villa Outpatient - Mclean's Online Review Report Card

Pasadena Villa is by far one of the best programs I have been to. I came for depression, suicidal thoughts, and anxiety. They use multiple different forms of therapy and they do it in groups, which can really help someone who’s struggling. When I was here, both the staff and people in the group were incredibly kind and empathetic. The facility is nice, there are comfortable seats, multiple breaks during each day, lunch is provided for PHP, and the morning and afternoon groups are great for helping someone process their thoughts and emotions. Because of how their program is structured, it helps you set goals for yourself and meet them, so you can notice your own improvement and progress.

Very professional, clean and organized. Would strongly recommend to any friend, family member or loved one.

The therapists there are really great and you can tell they legitimately care. They work with you and tailor the courses to the current need of the group. I learned a lot there and I’m really glad I chose this program!

As a recent graduate of both the PHP and IOP programs here, I would recommend this program to anyone looking for options to better their mental health and well-being. A knowledgeable, caring, energetic staff are the hallmark of a program framed around meeting the individual needs of its clients through a group-centered approach. Not only do they provide you with coping skills using various methodologies, they also introduce you to a variety of different therapy styles (i.e. music, acupuncture, etc) that you may not have realized were available for mental health treatment. If you are willing to put in the work, this program is a great springboard to a better mental health future for you or your loved ones. Highly recommend.

I had an amazing experience at Pasadena Villa. The entire team was supportive from my first day in PHP to my last day of IOP. I met so many wonderful people during treatment and I couldn't be happier with the results!

I know that the client centered care at Pasadena Villa saved my life.The PHP program provided structure and held me accountable for doing the work to heal, a safety net to catch me when I fell, and support to become determined and confident in my ability to survive and thrive with my suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, and PTSD.When my admitting diagnosis didn’t account for all my symptoms, the treatment team took the time to work closely with me to figure things out and then adapted my treatment plan and timeline to best support my healing. Using an open group model and a diverse team of therapists, Pasadena Villa provides a safe space to learn and practice coping skills. I benefited from the variety of therapy styles and evidence-based treatment modalities (ACT, CBT, DBT, Seeking Safety, etc.) as I figured out what would work for me. The treatment team communicates with each other extremely well, so even when working with different therapists, I never had to share difficult things over and over. They are skilled at connecting sessions to each group member’s specific goals, allowing clients to benefit from group support while also learning individually relevant material. The therapists and Executive Director regularly seek feedback about the program from the group and readily change and adapt the material in response. While I was in treatment there, the group members spanned a broad range of ages, races, orientations, and backgrounds; I found the variety of perspectives and the empathetic support I received from other members helpful on my journey. The integration of adjunct therapies like acupuncture, art, cinema, movement, and music, while sometimes challenging, provided me with additional insight into myself and tools to support my growth. Even during discharge planning the team advocated for me and worked with my outpatient providers to make sure my care was seamless.If you are looking to build your coping skills, ready to reclaim your agency, and committed to working the material, Krystle, Haley, Nicole, Kiara, Homa, and Phillip will prepare you for success on your path to recovery!

Pasadina provided me with a comfortable environment to work through some difficult topics which I was struggling with. With kind staff and an easy going culture which combined a wide variety of treatment techniques, I found Pasadina Villa to be an excellent choice for me on my path to recovery.

I came here at one of the lowest points of my life. Pasadena villa was a place I needed during a very rough period for me. I went here to get help for anxiety, depression, substance use, and suicidal thoughts. I am very grateful to have attended such an amazing place that provided so much care and compassion towards each individual. It was a safe environment and the staff, Homa, Nicole, Krystle, Phillip, Hallie were all so supportive and helpful throughout my journey here. This program helped turn my life around and helped me feel like I had the tools and support for success. I definitely have seen a change in myself for the better. I recommend coming here for anyone looking to positively change their mental health for anyones path of recovery.

I have sent many clients to Pasadena Villa's PHP and IOP programs in McLean and I am always impressed by their professionalism and communication. I also was very pleased to work on a case with them when they recognized a client needed a higher level of care. This is a testament to their commitment to ensure that clients are receiving the most appropriate care that will provide them with the most support in finding and maintaining recovery. It's especially a pleasure any time I get to work on a case with Kiara. Thank you for all you do!

I went here for help with depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. I had previously attended Dominion Hospital's PHP. Both are helpful, but I think this program is helpful at a deeper level. I found the trauma work to be very beneficial and I was able to make more long lasting changes to how I approach situations. The staff really care and work with you, but this program also relies on you to put in work. I reccomend coming here if you are ready to put in work and have a positive change to your mental health
