Paradigm TreatmentReviews of paradigmmalibu.com

My daughter attended Paradigm when her depression/anxiety were spiraling out of control. She was having suicidal ideation and cutting behaviors, and had disengaged in life completely and I did not know where to turn. I decided on Paradigm and am so thankful I did as I truly believe it helped save my daughter. Her counselors were wonderful and she has had nothing but positive things to say about them. Her family counselor Cameron truly has a gift and has been a blessing to our family. Dr. Neumann, the psychiatrist, was excellent and always selected natural treatments before entertaining medications which I appreciated. The food was delicious and nutritious and they even provided vegan options for my daughter. The setting is beautiful and It is expensive however if you can afford it I believe it is worth the investment. The only negatives are on the business end. My advice would be to make sure you have communicated clearly with your insurance company prior to admittance because you have to pay upfront the day of admission and then it is not a priority of Paradigm to attempt to get you reimbursement. I would not hesitate to send my daughter back to Paradigm again if needed and have already recommended it to other parents who's children are struggling with similar issues.

Seamless even though I was just testing as a media partner

Paradigm was the best thing that could have happened to our family! Our 15 year old spent 2 months at Paradigm this past winter to deal with issues of anxiety, depression, and self harm, and her experience there changed her life forever. The counselors are all so caring and kind, unbelievably professional and knowledgeable, and truly know how to relate to teenagers. The medical staff was extremely thorough in doing assessments and making sure that she was on the right medicine and the right levels. My husband and I (and sometimes our other children) travelled to Malibu every weekend from Ohio for the family sessions and those Saturdays together with other families who were going through similar experiences with their children were so incredibly helpful, and the family therapy on those Saturdays was invaluable. I would highly encourage families to do whatever they can to try to make each of these weekend sessions. The kids at Paradigm were all such great kids and provide so much support for each other. Four months have passed since coming home and having our sweet, happy girl back is the best thing that could have ever happened. Paradigm really armed her with the skills she needed to go forward in a positive way. She loves to call and catch up with staff members every couple of weeks - the staff members at Paradigm meant so much to her and will always hold a special place in her heart! We are eternally grateful to everyone at Paradigm - they were truly an answer to a prayer! Although it's expensive, there is not a better life gift you could give to your struggling child - he/she will be cared for by top professionals in a warm, supportive environment and will be given the perfect amount of push/encouragement to address his/her issues and learn positive skills for handling his/her emotions.

Can’t say enough good things. The team really took time to understand our son and his needs. While at Paradigm not only did our son make great strides but our whole family was able to grow.

Yes, it is expensive... However, if saving the life of your child is paramount to you, and you can find a way to get them here, do it. I truly believe they have possibly saved my child's life. Everyone involved is so caring and seems to know exactly how to get through to the kids. Parents also get great training and assistance. My son was here twice and I don't think he will need to come back again. I can not say enough good things about this place. This is the treatment and therapy that we need to provide to all our children before things spiral out of hand.

I can honestly say that Paradigm, with their caring, supportive staff, saved my son's life. The young adult we picked up on his last day of Paradigm was not the same lost soul that we dropped off a month earlier. It's been 5 months of sobriety, and the confidence and insight that he gained during his time at Paradigm turned his life around. I thank the higher powers that led me to Paradigm's web site on that fateful night in January -- and am forever grateful to them for helping him towards a healthy path to adulthood.

Amazing help and staff - highly recommend them

Paradigm Malibu was the best thing that could have happened for my son and our entire family. Dr. Chelsea Neuman and the entire staff run a therapeutic program that provides a wonderful peaceful environment where the overall approach focuses on understanding the root problem of each client; the client's mental, physical and emotional healing; helping each client developing coping skills to face potential future challenges, hygiene, nutrition and overall well-being of each individual. Paradigm Malibu also focuses on the home environment and provides entire family with the necessary counseling and other assistance to assure the returning client can thrive rather than returning to digress in the same atmosphere before entry. I give the Paradigm Malibu program my highest endorsement. I don't know where my son or my family will be right now without the help of God allowing us to find this program.
