I am a fellow therapist in the Los Angeles area. I referred a client of mine to Iris Healing Retreat for her addiction. She came out of there with only positive things to say about Iris and the staff. She reported receiving quality care and feels like she has tools to deal with her substance use. We are now focusing on the traumas that were masked by her addiction. She also felt really positive about the types of therapy she received, including Brainspotting! I have appreciated Iris's client-centered approach!
I also want to speak about Dr. Elena as another professional in the field. I've only had positive interactions with her. She clearly is passionate about the services that she provides and is an incredibly kind and giving person. It speaks volumes that she continuously provides further training to her staff (i.e. Brainspotting, trauma trainings, etc) and also provides consultation groups on site for other mental health professionals. As a referring therapist to the Iris Healing Retreat, this is crucial. Her staff clearly cares about the quality of work that they provide and are always growing in their knowledge about the different therapeutic modalities. Thank you to Iris Healing Retreat for all you do!
