I was institutionalized here back in September of 2025. It was a great place, honestly, I enjoyed my experience and I am glad they were able to assist me in my struggles. I thank all the staff sincerely, particularly Parker and Crystal, you were amazing people. I’m actually in the process of documenting my stay in a journal (I’m quite a slow writer) and my experiences have also influenced my novel in which I have started writing after my stay. The ward was a great experience. While it was hard at first (How couldn’t it? it’s a brand new environment, one that I had never experienced anything like before) it did get better and I come to look back on my time in a positive light. Thank you, LPBHC, and it’s staff, you made my life better. Dear, Jesse D.
