Honestly, I think all the negative reviews are from people who have problem following rules set forth to ensure the effectiveness of treatment. My daughter enjoyed her stay here and she learned a lot from it. Obviously, going into treatment you have to expect sacrifices from everyone, so trust in the process. If you go in with an open mind and a willingness for a better life, you can leave Evolve better equipped to handle things you weren’t able to deal with before. Again, I’m speaking on beh...

If you go in with an open mind and a willingness for a better life, you can leave Evolve better equipped to handle things you weren’t able to deal with before. Again, I’m speaking on behalf of my daughter. She couldn’t voice this herself, but this place helped our entire family cope with what was happening with our teen. Thank you.

I was here about a year ago. the only thing that was good was the food. they treated us like prisoners and always reminded us that we were “sick” and should not be making any decisions. with that being said my roommate is now my best friend in the whole world. the punishments were really harsh. once someone got caught with drugs and the whole house went on lockdown for 3 days. I was unable to talk to my family and even when we weren’t on lockdown i only could talk to them 5 minutes a day.

You hurt my friend, you suck. This forsaken place needs to treat their patients better. It is about the patients' well-being, not the money you get from insurance. Foods good tho (not on the weekends).

My name is Mei Fetter. I was a client here at Tarzana Vanalden back in 2021 (I think). I was 17 at the time and am almost 20 now. This place is strict and implements many rules. Yet, I personally believe it is what is needed for adolescents who are struggling. I think so many kids are used to doing whatever they want, whenever they want, and sometimes the law needs to be laid down. To those that say staff are mean or punished someone. I believe it’s more tough “love” and what we call, consequ...

Yet, I personally believe it is what is needed for adolescents who are struggling. I think so many kids are used to doing whatever they want, whenever they want, and sometimes the law needs to be laid down. To those that say staff are mean or punished someone. I believe it’s more tough “love” and what we call, consequences. Crazy, right. They provide a wide range of therapy and cool experiences (some of which I sadly never got to do because of covid). They also provide you with the skills needed to cope with your struggles. Many may not think this place has helped, yet sometimes I believe that those who go in, have a mindset of not accepting help or putting in the work necessary to heal. Someone who does not want help, cannot be helped, and will leave dissatisfied. Are there certain things that I was not a fan of here? Sure. But no matter where you go, treatment won’t be all rainbows and butterflies. It is a hundred times better than sending your child to an adolescent psychological ward ten times. My experience there was a turning point in my life. Staff helped me face some of my fears and learn more about myself.
I turn 20 in October. I work as a behavioral therapist who provides therapy to children with autism. I am going to be a sophomore in college, majoring in counseling psychology, and have a perfect GPA. I go out and try new things like aerial silks and ninja warrior training. I was such a quiet person who couldn’t advocate for myself, and am now outgoing to the point I probably embarrass people. It’s been two years since this residential. I have had so many hard moments but have skills in the back of my mind that have helped me get to a point in my life where I can say I am happy. They are skills that are priceless, timeless and can guide you through life.
Something to keep in mind is that any mental health treatment center isn’t there to fix your child and turn an off-switch for maladaptive behaviors, drug use, suicidal thoughts, etc. You won’t come out a completely new person. You come out with a new mindset, new skills, higher emotional intelligence, and the opportunity to be more successful in life than you did walking in.
Everyone’s experience at an Evolve residential is different, but I would like to share mine as I had a positive one and don’t want all potential customers to be influenced by the negative reviews.

i would not recommend this treatment center. We had a horrible experience. It was wayyy to strict for our needs and they would not adjust to the child‘s individual needs. My dad, who was a HUGE part of my daughter’s life, got covid in Aug 2021 and was dying while my daughter was in treatment. We asked the treatment center to release her for 3 hours so she could go to the hospital and say goodbye. They said no. They said insurance won’t pay if she leaves even for 3 hours. I said, don...

My dad, who was a HUGE part of my daughter’s life, got covid in Aug 2021 and was dying while my daughter was in treatment. We asked the treatment center to release her for 3 hours so she could go to the hospital and say goodbye. They said no. They said insurance won’t pay if she leaves even for 3 hours. I said, don’t tell them. Just let her leave and say goodbye. They said no. My dad died. And they would not let her leave to attend the funeral. They were pretty threatening about it too, saying they’ll tell insurance and insurance will make us pay for the entire treatment, which if you know how much this costs, is a very scary thing to hear. So we said, screw this, we will take her out and figure it out but our daughter said she would stay, as it’s what my dad would want her to do (get better). And at the end of her six week stay, she was NOT better. We ended up finding a much better treatment center called Rowi (outpatient) . It was night and day. Evolve was like a prison. I would tell all parents to find a better option.

It was ok, I stayed for a full 2 months but they often got upset when we showed symptoms of what we were there for. I made friends and learned some coping skills, but if those coping skills ever failed I would be told it was my fault and that I was choosing to stay stuck. It almost felt like we were forced to be happy. I complained about a staff named Emily multiple times because she was quite rude, was not respecting my peer’s pronouns, and often invalidating of our feelings. Nothing was eve...

I complained about a staff named Emily multiple times because she was quite rude, was not respecting my peer’s pronouns, and often invalidating of our feelings. Nothing was ever really done about it, and when I tried to tell my mother I was told to hang up because “I was asking to go home without actually asking.” It didn’t really accommodate Neurodivergent people, there was a lot of noise and we were never really given anything to cope with that. Other than that my experience was decent. I met some really cool people and the most of the staff were really nice.

Well,
When if first left Evolve I thought I was fixed. Turns out two years later, now that I’m back in treatment, it didn’t worse and EVOLVE MADE ME WORSE.
First on all the staff are MAD inconsistent. Randomly making up punishments and targeting kids they don’t like. I stayed at evolve 3x the time I should’ve and didn’t make a lot of progress. I was shunned for participating in CoDA and NA meetings that I thought I had belonged in. I had a severe allergic reaction to nuts and was not allowe...

I was shunned for participating in CoDA and NA meetings that I thought I had belonged in. I had a severe allergic reaction to nuts and was not allowed to rest from groups on bendryl with my throat almost completely closed and hives dappling by body.
Evolve turns DBT into psychological abuse. I truly believed that I was only my diagnosis and was treated as such. It’s taken almost two years to undo the label of “borderline” in my head. While I still suffer with it I’m getting help elsewhere.
The only good thing was the off campus outings and therapy. (Surf, equine, music, art) but other than that Evolve was nothing but wasted money.

All the experiences I've had with counselors and psychologists for myself as well as for three out of my four children have been positive until my experience at Evolve in Tarzana.
After watching a downward cycle in my son in terms of choices being made, behaviors, and a loss of motivation that we were unable to abate despite counseling and other interventions, we chose to admit my son to Evolve.

All the experiences I've had with counselors and psychologists for myself as well as for three out of my four children have been positive until my experience at Evolve in Tarzana.
After watching a downward cycle in my son in terms of choices being made, behaviors, and a loss of motivation that we were unable to abate despite counseling and other interventions, we chose to admit my son to Evolve.
I spoke with the intake coordinator at Evolve several times. She listened, was sympathetic, sensitive, and reassuring, and always responded immediately to my calls and emails. She indicated and had no doubt that Evolve could help my son and that Evolve was the right place for him.
With respect the Tarzana facility, we were misled on a number of issues during our discussions with the intake director. The intake coordinator told me that Evolve in Tarzana had excellent and experienced staff that specialized in trauma. In truth, the Tarzana facility was open less than a year and the counselor assigned to us had been at Evolve less than 2 months, had only been out of college for 2 years, and had minimal experience in the areas where we needed intervention. What I believe now is that the intake coordinator was trying to fill beds at the Evolve facility in Tarzana.
The counselor’s approach to us and our family sessions was aggressive, antagonistic, borderline patronizing, and unprofessional; there was a complete disconnect and lack of rapport. This wasn’t only apparent in our family sessions; my son later reported how much he disliked the counselor and that he had to comply with her and her treatment to move forward in the program with the goal of being released by the end of the month.
The counselor’s approach was neither productive nor constructive. Her aim was to cause combat and discord, fringing on being accusatory instead of therapeutic. My husband and I felt defensive over things that were non-issues and wondered why the counselor remained focused on trivial things that weren’t problems in our family. The trauma my son had, which his local psychologist and psychiatrist wrote letters about to Evolve, were dismissed as not being important or having any impact on the behaviors and choices my son was making.
The driving force of Evolve seems to be to make money and chase insurance companies. We heard repeatedly that our son had to display the behaviors we wrote on his admission paperwork in order for him to stay and for them to receive insurance money. Even when my son did display some of these behaviors, the counselor initially ignored and dismissed the behaviors; it was the psychiatrist who grew concerned, reached out to us, and indicated that my son qualified for residential treatment care. My son did note that there was another excellent counselor at Evolve who had much more experience whom he liked, but she wasn’t assigned to our family.
Evolve’s fee for one month in $45,000. As a luxury facility with a tennis court and a fee of $45,000, Evolve should have a tennis teacher work with the residents at least once per week, preferably more, and Evolve should resupply tennis balls when they are hit over the fence and lost. It seems the tennis court is there for looks instead of for use. There should also be daily physical fitness with a certified trainer for at least an hour/day. Further, meditation should be a daily activity instructed by a counselor, not weekly or occasionally.
I do want to acknowledge that we had no trouble with any of the other staff at the Evolve facility in Tarzana. The director, after much persuasion, took over my son’s case and in doing so, was professional, productive, knowledgeable, and treated us all with respect. The other staff we were in contact with at Evolve, including the psychiatrist, the person in charge of my son’s discharge, and the daily staff all behaved appropriately, professionally, and respectfully. Our experience may have been vastly different if we’d had a different counselor assigned to us or had been routed to a different Evolve facility.
