I had a lot of hope for La Selva. Unfortunately, I was bullied by a few other clients there, and reporting to the staff did nothing. Additionally, I was seen by three different psychiatrists via zoom the first three weeks there. They didn’t communicate to each other at all, and they made decisions which worsened my condition. When I finally saw a permanent psychiatrist, she saw me every 10 days due to going on vacations. On top of that, the groups were unhelpful because they just lectured DBT, CBT, ACT, and other therapy mod... read more
I strongly advise against La Selva I was at La Selva for about five months, from August 2024 to December 2024. I started at the residential, moved to the supported housing program, and then back to residential, all while attending the PHP. This place is not suited for those in need of serious, professional support.

I was repeatedly given access to opportunities to continue my se... read more

Truly amazing clinicians, evidence based curriculum (CBT, DBT, ACT), specialized process groups for LGBTQ and BIPOC populations, etc. What makes the difference at La Selva is the quality of the therapists and the extremely supportive milieu. Highly recommended, and they take Kaiser insurance as well as many others. They also have a residential option (you live at their house), as well as a supportive housing option (kind of like a halfway house). ... read more
Stayed here a few months ago and it was such an isolating experience. The vibe of the house is very low energy and depressing. Tons of unstructured time to think and ruminate and just genuinely nothing to do. The groups are lecture like and have minimal to no interaction. The program itself is the problem not the staff. The cohort that I was with kept to themselves and no one talked to each other or was interested in conversation. My mental health deteriorated while I was there due to lack of community and inadequate groups.... read more
La Selva was a life-changing experience that I believe saved my life. I arrived at La Selva after spending over a month in the hospital, and I was somewhat resistant to treatment; agreeing to residential care was my only option to leave a psychiatric hold. After arriving at La Selva, I was pleasantly surprised by the freedom I had and how my perspective changed. The Forest Ave house became a home for me, and I appreciated the opportunity to do little chores like cooking with other residents. Contrary to what I expected from ... read more
