Paradigm Malibu

My Daughter spent 6 weeks at Paradigm. When she went there, she was depressed and seemed hopeless. I researched and found Paradigm ahead of time and read the reviews. I am now leaving mine… They are a fantastic Facility for a Teen who is in a similar place that my Daughter was in. The location is fantastic, with a really nice view of the ocean in a super clean and nice multi-​room Mansion that is converted into a Facility. All of the staff there are excellent, especially, Jeremy, who worked with me and my insurance to make it happen before I was able to get her in. Also a huge thank you to Therapists Markus and Erin, who were instrumental and made a huge influence on her. All Three Facilities in Malibu are excellent and I would highly recommend this facility to a parent who thinks there is no hope. My Daughter now is happy and feels there is hope. I am sure this is all due to her stay at Paradigm.

The great thing we recognized about Paradigm is that they don’t tolerate complacence. The stay is devoted to getting the kids ready to leave, and to have their minds right for when they do – to make better choices, and to better deal with the circumstances that threw them off track before. The setting is fantastic, and it’s great that it’s so gorgeous and the grounds are so nice, but it’s no resort. The kids are there to work on themselves. It’s just a great setting to do that work in. Our family was referred by a close friend whose daughter had a transformative experience there, and it was the best advice we’ve ever taken.

I’m that Auntie that my family and friends come to when they are looking for support for hard questions in their lives. When the teenager you love is in crisis, where can you go? I am so happy to have found Paradigm Malibu as a place that actively cares about teenagers and their families as they tackle tough questions and look honestly at what’s going on. From the minute that we called and talked to Cole, I knew that we had found the right place. From the intake process and diagnosis to the treatment plan that helped to focus on our teen’s strengths and her interests. The facility is AMAZING and everyone from Rob and Jessica to all of the staff really was about treating our person and not stamping a time clock on recovery. Its been almost half a year now out of program and Paradigm is still available to support our teen and our family for those moments when life gets hard. Ditto on the free aftercare program previously mentioned. Thanks Paradigm Malibu for being a place that made a safe space for our family to actively make treatment not just a plan but a reality that we can all work together on.

Ditto what reviewer Ellen S said (we’re in the same family). Paradigm staff created a possibility for our family to really to talk each other and help our teen figure out what is best for her. She wasn’t able to hide in her bs answers like at other facilities, she was really given a chance to talk honestly about what was going on and help her get to a place where she could work from. The support, the therapy (OMG the THERAPY can we just say?! Not just for our teen but our family trying to really heal and come to a better way to communicate!) When things get hard, you aren’t always sure who is going to be there — but the Paradigm Malibu staff had her back and ours. Her parents are really Unilocalers — but I had to log on to give Paradigm this review.

This is no ordinary rehab. The people who work at Paradigm are so compassionate, genuine and kind. So grateful for all the help they have given my family.
