Lifescape Recovery Center

Attending Lifescape Recovery was one of the most impactful decisions I’ve made for my mental health. I walked in on the first day feeling overwhelmed and unsure if I’d even come back — and left on my last day feeling deeply grateful for the space, presence, and support I was given to explore safety and healing within myself. The positives were truly abundant: ~The facilitators brought warmth, authenticity, and care to sessions. Some were so impactful that I found myself looking forward to the days they led. ~Staff were incredibly flexible and respectful of my emotional needs. I never felt pressured to show up in a certain way — I was welcomed exactly as I was, without judgment. ~I valued the opportunity to explore a variety of therapy modalities, some of which I still use today to maintain my mental health. ~I received consistent clinical support, including regular sessions with a primary therapist, additional guidance from a secondary therapist early on, consistent check-ins with a case worker, and psychiatric care as needed. I felt like I was really supported on various levels. ~The authenticity of the staff helped me feel safe enough to show up as my true self. ~Connecting with both facilitators and fellow attendees through open, honest discussions about the challenges of mental health was incredibly insightful and validating. If I had to name a downside: ~My only real complaint — and it’s a small one — would be the lack of variety in the lunches provided at the end of the week. That said, free food is free food! :) This program didn’t just support me during one of the most difficult times of my life — it also helped outline my own personal career goals in the mental health field and continues to positively influence me today. I am beyond thankful to the individuals who made my experience at Lifescape Recovery what it was. Your engagement, care, and intentionality will stay with me always.

Lifescape was amazing! The program was so helpful and the team made me feel welcome. I was comfortable asking questions and expressing myself. I really appreciated the group sessions; they gave me opportunities to hear others, share experiences and learn from them. I also LOVED the fact that self-care was built into the program! This allowed me to try new things that maybe I wouldn’t have on my own. I gained confidence in myself and my abilities through their program. I highly recommend Lifescape to anyone struggling with mental health, trauma or addiction. Thank you Lifescape Team! You helped me grow in ways I never expected.

The trajectory of my life was changed when I first started this program. At the last day of my program, I came out as a different person, more authentic, more of knowing who I am. Each day when I entered the door, I came out with the best knowledge that benefited my healing journey. The people I’ve met, the staff, and my therapist supported me all the way. You can tell the staff have a passion in what they do and you can feel how welcomed you are no matter your story. I do miss doing art in Jeremy’s class, though I am not the most artistic person, I was still able to process something inside. Thank you Lifescape staff!

I would like to start off by saying a big thank you to the team over at Lifescape Recovery. I am so appreciative of the experience, never thought I could get this form of therapy/treatment for myself. I always felt somatic therapy and psychoeducation was beyond my own means especially in a treatment program that includes yoga, acupuncture, sound bath, and breath-work all under one roof. Especially for someone that comes from a low income background. I am so grateful for my immediate care team in addition to the group facilitators, intake, and tech teams. I came into this program feeling at my lowest, my rock bottom, broken, felt resistant, nervous, scared, skeptical, and beyond-repair even—but hung onto the notion that deep down inside there was some greater reason why I found myself at Lifescape. That curiosity allowed me to realize the following: The real magic or work comes to the connections that we get to form through this group based therapy program (the part I was most resistant to initially). The community that is discovered and formed through this experience is powerful. Simply a reminder that we are not alone in these sometimes difficult, complex, and heavy feelings. The hope of feeling better and/or being on a healing path is very much possible. The only reason why I didn’t rate it a full 5 stars is only because there does exist opportunities. I have come to learn that my expectations of the program were really skewed in the beginning, largely given to the state I was in. Overtime and even bringing some of those questions/concerns to my care team and/or peers (during group), I was more receptive to the tools and resources this program provided, where the information presented just started to click. My treatment very much continues after Lifescape, I am just truly grateful that this program and team of people helped guide me to that path and more importantly reminded me that I am not alone.

I will forever be grateful to Lifescape, this program became my safe place. I felt understood by my peers, no judgements. Lifescape helped me become a better version of myself. The staff is very welcoming and understanding of everyone's situation. The tools I learned in this program have become very helpful in my everyday life! All the activities I did in this program made it fun and I found my inner child again. Having the trust to express myself freely it's important in the healing process. I've been to different program and nothing compares to the amazing environment in lifescape. Thank you for everything and I will miss you guys 😊
