Cypress Center

I was here in July 2020. Great staff here. One of the better places to go, if you survive a mental health crisis.

I was admitted to the Cypress center on December 19th 2020 amid the chaos of covid 19 and a keen desire to end my own life. While there I experienced a level of inpatient care like no other. The kindness and compassion of their staff was comparable to that of a victorian knight. The food was elegant and optionable, if I was sick or missed a meal the staff was always willing to get me what I needed, say for instance I finally managed to sleep more then my usual 6 hours and missed a meal, they would make sure I was fed. The nurses were very polite about my reluctance to take certain medications and politely informed me of any medication I would possibly be given and even printed out the uses and possible side effects of all such medications. They checked daily for any symptoms of Covid 19 and explained why any time I asked, "which was often.'' They respected my spiritual affiliations and allowed me to have my religious article, "a copper feather on a chain.'' They were even compassionate enough to allow me to paint them some of my art to share with others. When I was having a particularly bad time they allowed me to shower whenever needed and alternate between hot and cold water, "a grounding technique they taught me to help with my ptsd." When I woke up at 3 am with nightmares they allowed me to walk around, read, draw, paint etc, to help with the memories. I was even allowed to quietly listen to Journey's greatest hits on repeat and cry without anyone judging me for it. When I called home my loved ones' could tell that I was being well cared for and that my attitude and speech seemed better. They even taught me how to advocate for myself assertively without being verbally harmful. All in all, after leaving the Cypress center I feel like I have a new view on life and the capacity to not only care for myself but others as well.I feel light, like all of my harmful tendencies come from memories and beliefs associated with my trauma and that that trauma no longer defines me as a person. Thank you Cypress Center!! You saved my life.

I was very much helped by the people at Cypress. Ken and Ben were my first councilors, day/night shift and really helped me feel accepted. Was able to be open about beliefs and felt comfortable being able to open to them. Shaynon, and I hope I spelled her name right sorry if I didn't, stepped in and helped me with learning some tools to help me limp along till I could get my feet under me again. Because of the them, and others working behind the desk, I was able to finally be diagnosed after 30+ years of having pills thrown at me like a dart board. They connected me to a therapy situation that I have hopes for once it gets started in a few days. Without the help of those at the Cypress center I would still be adrift and alone. Thank you.

I Had reservations about a mental health facility, but Cypress Center really helped my Wife. It saved her life.. The staff working there are terrific, and one person in particular name Jimi who is a counselor there really helped ease the transition for my wife. He really went out of way to ensure not only my wife, but me that everything will be okay. He was right. My wife spent 5 days there, and I really am glad that she spent it at Cypress Center. I would really like to thank Jimi for his help.. She came away with a new sense of purpose and well being. The facility is a low security facility, to where you feel like you are not in prison. It is a program that really benefits alot of people. While visiting there, I observed alot of things and this place really is a well run facility that makes a difference in peoples lives.. I usually do not do reviews, but I had to for this place saved my wife's life.. Thank You Jimi and to Cypress Center for everything you did..
