Do not go here. I have been in several sober livings over the last few years and this was the worst…read moreexperience I have ever had.. This place is toxic and made toxic by the owner Ellie. This is not a safe, healthy, place of healing. Drama flows freely and is allowed to snowball because of management's lack of willingness to address problematic residents who have a history and pattern of creating an uninhabitable environment. Do not go here. Do not let your kid go here. Use your money elsewhere. There are several great sober livings like South House, Psychic Change, Casa Pacifica, Ohana House and more to choose from in the same area. These are places that care about your wellbeing and promote a healthy, safe environment amenable to laying a foundation in sobriety. Sober Living Today and Ellie absolutely should be avoided. Horrible. All they care about is money not people. Beware. I write this purely to save the next person.

As her friend, I've visited the homes she rents to women in recovery. Ellie has invited me to attend events like rooftop yoga, breathwork classes and healthy cooking classes (which she pays for and offers to her residents free of charge). The accommodations are beautiful, clean, and decorated with taste and care (many are quite upscale and blocks from the beach!). Helping women struggling with alcoholism and addiction is not an easy business to be in. But Ellie manages it well. I would without a doubt recommend Ellie and Sober Living Today to any woman in need of a stable place to continue their recovery. They have a strong reputation in the community for a reason.

I was not notified they were moving him and a few days later when I went there to pick him up for a Doctor's appointment not one person was wearing a mask (Psychologist's, Counselors, Office Staff, Van Drivers, etc.) and this was in June 2020 at the height of Covid-19! I removed him from this place immediately and he is now in a professional environment, Casa Recovery, where the price we paid for one week will cover 90 days, and where they take Covid-19 seriously as well as the recovery of their patients. Then, to add insult to injury, I was sent a bill for $1,000 for less than a week in this sober living hell hole. They charged our insurance $2,680 a day for boarding, $1,877 for outpatient group therapy and $1,838 for outpatient individual. All for less than 1 week! Stay away from this place or at least get your costs in writing before you go!

I was at tender loving Mercy from 2019 to 2021 and I gotta say it's the worst Program I've ever…read morebeen in and I've been in a lot of programs. They use manipulation tactics bullying a scare tactics to get what they want out of you they're all about money and if they know you have a a chunk of money when you come in there, they will manipulate and use whatever tactic to get your money. OK I've seen Mona Rosenholtz the house manager for the women's house, steal money from people rather residence. I have know about Luis McMahon, the Director, manipulating money out of people one of them being me and Linda Joyce Sterritt, who is my best friend and I was trying to get her out of there but she pays the most rent out of everybody in that program and it's like around 12 $1300 when they knew I had a trust account they were in it I was paying $1400. All the other women paid like seven or 600 they they are abusive they yell they call you names. It's not a good place. They don't have no groups you go to na aa meeting outside that's it. I think the Program that the county needs to go in and investigate the house in that program because there are a lot of illegal stuff going on in there with staff and there's only three people that are over that Program. I do not recommend this program to anybody and if you hear it run the direction when my daughter Sarah got me out of that program I could not talk. All I would do is sit and stare because I had PTSD so bad from the abuse and the name-calling and all the bullying that Mona Rosenholtz and Timothy McMahon we're doing to me yeah I had my good times there too, but the bad outweighs when I left there I was 336 pounds now I've been out of there since 2021 and I'm 215 pounds now at my ideal weight and I look awesome. I have my own place now and I'm doing really well cleaning sober working a Celebrate Recovery in the STEPS I have a sponsor and I have my own apartment oh and then Mona told me that nobody wants me well I have a boyfriend that lives with me so you know and I have a lot of friends where I live. I'm aware of an incident where Linda Durban got her $1400 stimulus check and I told her do not let Louis know you have that money because he will get it from you well, he got wind of it and he was there and he gave her the spiel to crocodile tears and oh I need help and you said he would help me. I'm so broke. He's always somebody's broke. Yeah he's in a bunch of debt, but yeah it's a crooked Shystie organization and do not go to this program.. Lewis McMahon ended up getting $1000 out of Linda Diaz stimulus check because Linda pay so much money that I was trying to get her out because they abused her too. All she does is sit and stare at the wall from PTSD. She is cut off communication between me and Linda has taken her phone. She will not let her have a phone Mona because they don't wanna lose that money. It's all about money. They don't care about nobody they bully you. They yell at you, they call your names. They threaten you. They lost the refrigerator when they wake you up get up who wants to be woken up like that. Hurry up and read this review because it probably won't be long before it gets taken down like the one I posted a couple of years ago. Whenever light is shed on darkness they will have it taken down. Look at my before and after pictures on the website and that should say it all right there. Oh one thing I forgot they make you turn your phones in at 9 o'clock, so Monica can sit up in her bedroom and go through all your go through all your phones to efficient for information and see what she can get on you. I had a trust account with a lot of money in it when I got to TLM and as soon as they found out about it, of course they use their manipulation, tactics to get their hands on it. Louis would say in groups that oh yeah, she's rich and talk about my trust in front of a whole group of people he would meet me in the hallway and say I'm gonna get all your money out of you. It was gone within a year I had to fill out these disbursement forms to draw money out of it. They had me sign one form, right well they made copies of that one paper and my daughter wanted me to sue, but you know what my father didn't raise me that way so I left it alone and plus Lewis McMahon's already in a huge thousands in debt so what good would it do really and I just don't do that 10,000 of it went on my porcelain teeth to have my whole teeth fixed. I would take a few hundred dollars out of a month for my personal needs. There was this woman who was mentally challenged and Laurie wills who is mowed. His puppet was my roommate and I heard Mona come in. There's a Amber's father just dropped off her $300. What do you want?. if there's anything anybody could do about this place please take action.

LIFE-CHANGING. My…read moresession with Heather truly transformed me: I will never be the same, in the best possible way. Heather was recommended to me by a friend when I shared that I was seeking an energy healer and psychic. It is no coincidence that Heather and I were brought together, just as it's no coincidence that you've now found yourself reading this review. I entered the session with the intention of clearing energy and gaining clarity in my life. I left not only feeling lighter and clearer, but also with profound insight into my soul's purpose and so much more. I received powerful downloads of knowledge, visuals, and wisdom that continue to resonate. Heather also shared practical tools and perspective shifts that I've been able to integrate into my daily life, supporting my ongoing growth and healing journey. Heather is truly gifted. She holds space with grace and compassion. She is a radiant light warrior with a deep connection to the divine. From start to finish, I felt calm, supported, and cared for in her presence. I was able to open up and be vulnerable in ways that felt safe and natural, which made the experience that much more powerful. To be so deeply seen can feel tender and raw, but it is also incredibly rewarding. Heather's work is a gift, and I am beyond grateful to have received it. She truly shows up and takes the work on with such strength and dedication. And trust me--she had her work cut out for her with me! LOL! We shared some good laughs as I arrived with what felt like lifetimes of baggage to unpack. I cannot recommend her highly enough, and I know I'll be returning for more sessions with her. Heather, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I am truly blessed to have crossed paths with you.
