EXCELLENT Based on 120 reviews Posted on Silvia TrejoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This program really help get my life back together and pushed me to get back on my feet. Residential program thru php and IOP programs. THEY HELP ME GET BACK IN TRACK PROVIDING ME MIX MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING AND jiu-jitsu and also Pushed me till I became a Certified private Trainer. They don’t let you leave until they make sure you’re 100% on your feet. Thanks to the amazing staff Oren and Arica and Stacy.Posted on Anecia GoncalvesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was at this outpatient program for a long time and as someone who has been in and out of treatment, I have never experienced a program like this before. They will do everything they can to support you and set you up for success, whatever that looks like for you. They have helped me when I felt like I didn’t deserve it, have taught me how to ask for help when I need it and have helped me get back on my feet. The staff here are out of this world!!! (All BHTs) To be transparent, I had one very bad experience with a staff member during my time there as well as one psychiatrist (no longer employed by MHC) but that was MY experience. I do not recommend passing up on this program because of that. A couple of the therapists/CM (Laci, Stacy & Arrica) here have single handedly helped save me from myself and both owners Keith and Ryan have really had my best interest in mind at the darkest times. I have MHC to thank because of that.Posted on AdelynnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A friendly mental health program with many resources and a proven track record of helping clients reach their goals and move forward with their lives. After graduating from residential treatment, I needed further services to help scaffold my progress and re-entry into the world. I wanted a place that was LGBTQ-inclusive, community-focused, and connected to resources in the San Diego area, and I found all of that at MHC. I was a client for about 22 months at various levels of care, and I truly believe the time and support I received helped prevent relapse and a return to residential treatment. The program shines in how much it invests in clients. Outings, help with finding work, and celebrating holidays together helped re-establish a sense of normalcy. Access to multiple modalities like EMDR, Brainspotting, and neurofeedback/EEG biofeedback also added meaningful depth to trauma healing. One area for growth is training and sensitivity when working with transgender clients. While the program is well-intentioned and affirming in its values, more consistent education in this area would strengthen the experience for trans clients. Overall, I’m grateful for my time at MHC and would recommend it to anyone seeking long-term, community-based mental health support. In terms of touch much it invests in clients it is top tier for the San Diego area!Posted on MichaelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan with MHC has been great to work with from day 1. He’s consistent in his communication, has answered every question I’ve had and went above and beyond to find the right fit for me. Thank you for all of the help, Ryan and MHC!Posted on BRAD COSTILLTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I learned a lot at MHC staff there it's wonderful they go above and beyond for everyone. My case manager Arrica was fantastic she helped me with all of my needs she helped me with my disability. She helped me with a drug program. She helped me with many things.. My therapist Shelby helped me work through some sirius trauma that I've been dealing with my entire life.Posted on Richie CinganoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First off I want to say this is an amazing program, but it is what you make it you have to surrender to the help as well. I was at Both residential and the outpatient program, I can honestly I would not be where I’m at today without the help of this program, the resources available and the staff. Lacy, she was in charge of the program that went on in the center, she cared for everyone as an individual and never made anyone feel unseen. The program also offered an outlet at the gym while I was there and even free MMA classes at the time. The mental health services provided to me were beyond helpful. The guidance groups gave me were also very impactful. The houses were Very Nice, clean and kept stocked with lots of good food. I’d recommend anyone seeking treatment to give this place a shot.Posted on Sarah BurchTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience at the Mental Health Center of San Diego was truly life-changing. My therapist, Stacy, and case manager, Arrica, were both incredibly supportive, compassionate, and professional throughout my time there. I would come to them in so many different forms; they accepted and cared for me in all of them. Stacy creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where I feel heard and understood. She helped me develop healthier coping skills and gain clarity during some really challenging moments. My case manager, Arrica, was amazing—organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in my well-being. She helped me navigate resources and next steps in a way that felt manageable and empowering. It is incredible how much they genuinely care for their clients. Experiencing that love and care was truly a gift. I’m very grateful for the support I’ve received and would absolutely recommend this center to anyone seeking thoughtful, consistent mental health care. Thank you to Stacy, Arrica, and the rest of MHC for saving my life.
