Many people have such wonderful experiences at this location. Unfortunately, last fall, I did not…read more I found much of the staff, specifically the owners, to appear distant, disinterested, and lacked awareness. While many of us are emotional when we enter the space, I found it rather sad that I had no introduction the first day. I had no idea who anyone was. There was not even eye contact from the front desk when I came in lost on the first day. Perhaps two of the team members properly greeted me which was lovely. But I quickly learned that the welcomes and departures are seldom celebrated in this program. Some of the staff were not equip to deal with confrontation. If you are working with a vulnerable, emotional, and recovering populations, I expect better accountability, deescalation, guidance, and resolution. Shying away from uncomfortable, but important topics like racism and a*sault need to be addressed appropriately and thoughtfully. I'm not expecting perfection! I think I wanted a warmer, kinder environment where the team was attentive and caring. I hated feeling like another statistic running through their program. It was a wonderful group of participants at the time, but the faculty single-handedly made clear that Harmony Place would be the opposite place for healing. One last note is that the entire Harmony Place Monterey lacks diversity in staff. I think this was a large con as well. Hoping there are improvements and wonderful experiences for future groups!

Dr. Schwartz and the other therapists at HPM, Harmony Place Monterey, have helped me tremendously…read more I underwent 6 weeks of their PHP, Partial Hospitalization Program, 6.5 hours per day, 5 days a week, in September and October of 2021, followed by 4 weeks of IOP, Intensive Outpatient Therapy, 4 hours/5 days per week in November. I learned the core elements of CBT and DBT, also how to understand, process my childhood trauma and to manage my depression and anxiety. The Core Group Therapy sessions and Men's Group sessions gave me important development to recognize and cope with emotions. This development and semiweekly and weekly one on one therapy sessions with Dr. Lee Larimer truly achieved dramatic benefits. I continue to attend Dr. Schwartz's biweekly alumni sessions, as well as psychiatric appointments at CHOMP Behavioral Health as needed. Most recently, after 18 months on the waiting list, I have a personal therapist at CHOMP. All of the HPM staff made me feel welcome. They communicated their roles well and executed flawlessly. My professionals, therapists and their aides were excellent, deserving of recognition for excellance all, but particularly Mana Godbole, Lee Larimer, Megan Williams and Mark Schwartz. Harmony Place Monterey made me feel safe, a huge accomplishment. They gave me an excellent opportunity to learn, grow and heal. It's been 6 months since that 10 weeks of intensive therapy and I'm doing very well, incredibly well. I no longer take psychiatric medication and I am making constant strides to create healthy social relationships. My depression and anxiety are well under control and getting better and better. I can understand how my experience may sound magical, but that's how it feels. I've worked very hard for this for many decades. Thank you very much.

I started going from 15 years old and for the past 3 years until recently. I spent the time in treatment and group therapies because I really trusted that they would be able to make even the slightest of a difference like they propose themselves to do. In my experience, before I share the negative aspects, seeing Dr. Suth and working with him to get a proper diagnosis so it would finally be permissible to be properly medicated, despite how long I was there before, was the only good experience I had. But looking back on it entirely, I just feel failed all around. I was diagnosed with ADD foremost, as well as MDD and moderate presenting ptsd. I should not have felt like that I was too much for them to care for. The money is not being properly dispersed into facilitating a proper training of its employees. It always felt so lifeless, which is the opposite kind of atmosphere it should be. On multiple occasions I was met with a question from my actual therapist if they could receive feedback on how to do a better job. Because all of that money clearly didn't go into proper research, or at least on understanding how the psychology of people actually works. I've seen such a poor and even graciously, offensive attempt at that that I can quite only say I've learned what to avoid from how much they went wrong with. Never felt like a cash cow until that's exactly how they treated me here. Multiple people I shared time with in treatment have expressed these same sentiments towards Ohana. Please evolve your treatment plan from basic DBT skills, some people can thrive with those simple lessons but if you're not passive or already less inept at comprehension than this experience was, it doesn't work. To put it lightly, if you're not struggling from some form of developmental intellectual disability, or at your proper mental age,.. or worse being beyond it, you can see through its juvenile and black and white methods. I shouldnt have been treated like a spectacle just because I wanted the bare minimum of being heard and seen as a mutual human being instead of an example from a textbook that was read by people who shouldn't be in any form is psychology. Or with a bounty and dollar sign over my head. I spent so much money and was thrown constantly additional forms of treatment when it should have just been provided in the multi thousands we paid for. Which was basic psychiatry and therapy. If this is the best that can be offered then I hope to be somewhat a part of the reform. I'll be leaving a more formal complaint as well. With love, do better or don't show up at all. You are preying maybe even unintentionally on a group of more vulnerable individuals who are already struggling to get by in this world. This can be more detrimental than not being provided care at all. I stand by this whole heartedly and I hope to really see better for others there at the very least. I deserved better as well. Thank you.
