The team at Muirwood is absolutely incredible! Their dedication, support, passion for helping teens and so much more, brought my boy back. They taught him things that I clearly wasn't able to. He learned coping skills and a good safety plan. He felt safe there and I just couldn't be more grateful for everyone there. They kept me informed every step of the way. If your teen is struggling and is needing help, I would absolutely suggest sending them to Muirwood. Incredible folks over there! My boy wants to be a counselor there when he's old enough so he can help others the way he was helped. Warms my heart!
Our child was at Muir Woods for 45 days. Although it was very difficult decision to place them there, it was necessary and I dont regret it. Dana H. was our therapist and she is a true professional. She helped our child to open up and start to get better and bigger person.
Even our child said it was though to be at Muir Woods but he agreed it changed him for a better and he grew as a person and feels much better about himself and his future now.
I am sure we did right decision to get oir child to Muir Woods.
I am so grateful that Muir Wood exists. We didn’t know where to send our kiddo to keep him safe; we were in a crisis, and this was the answer to our prayers. It was a safe place for him with people who cared about him.
His therapist there, Lodi, was loving, kind, supportive, and non-judgmental. She taught all of us some good things. The Zoom parent sessions were also helpful when we could attend.
The psych NP in charge of medications was not my favorite to work with, but she has since been replaced with a doctor, and I think her replacement is more helpful and knowledgeable.
