Aspire Behavioral Health

Great friendly people, there to always there to help. My Daughter ended loving this place and learn how to manage her feelings.

I was referred to the Aspire behavioral health outpatient program by my physician, as I was suffering from severe depression and anxiety. I am grateful for the referral as the Aspire program was my life raft. Using inspired philosophies that are taught by compassionate people, I came away from the program a profoundly changed person. While I understand the program principally serves those in need, I would recommend the program to anyone looking to find self awareness and inner peace. Thank you Aspire team.

Yessica is by far the best therapist I've ever seen or met. I am completely confident in her abilities & professionalism. I enjoy the facility & atmosphere that Aspire on 16th St. provides. I am able to find appointments during my busy schedule. I would recommend this counseling business to all I know.

Courtney is by far the worse therapist possible. First off she never showed up on time and almost always cut our sessions short. She also made my symptoms of anxiety, panic and bipolar, disorder worsen and then refused to see me after I voluntary went to mental hospital for a week. So if you need someone good, you are looking in the wrong place. It seems as though she cares more about her outfit every day than her patients. I hope the best for all that are currently having psychological problems. My heart goes out to you.

I researched online and this place sounded like the best out of all the others in Bakersfield. I've been calling and leaving messages with people left and right starting about two or three months ago, however, and no one has called me back. The one time someone answered, they were busy (which I don't blame them for-- we all have jobs after all) but still, no one has returned any of my calls. So, if you're looking for a service that's reliable, I'd guess this isn't it. It's unfortunate though, since this honestly seemed like the best option in town.

I was promised animal therapy and group therapy, but instead they took me to some secluded room. (There was a better looking group therapy just next to were I was taken) They told me not to bring my phone "because other people could break it" if I was being paired with aggressive peers then it wouldn't be good, there was also no animal therapy (dogs or goats) so they lied about that. The sessions also took 3 hours which was way too long, the only time we were outside was for a walk around the other buildings.I do not recommend going here!

My daughter went to the evening program when she started to have behavioral issues at school. We had a great experience! The staff is very kind, knowledgeable and friendly! I would definitely recommend Aspire!

I simply cannot recommend this business enough. I was referred here by my psychiatrist for group therapy. I was apprehensive at first, but decided to take a step out of my comfort zone. It was quite possibly the most liberating experience in my "healing Journey". It was the push I needed to put me on the right path in my life. I was able to learn usable healthy coping skills, vent about whatever was going on in my life at the time in a safe environment, and still have one-on-one time with the counselors to better explore where my mind was at and to help me navigate through that. Not only were the therapist and additional staff all very professional, they were very realistic and helpful on their incite. I can see how some people in my group weren't there to engage for the full experience and could leave a negative taste in their mouths. Luca the therapy dog, and the baby goats were some of my favorite days, but I also got to where I loved art Fridays, and meditation/yoga days as well.

It's a decent program my only advice is dont be honest and I dont remember one of the counselors name but shes a shit bagJust whatever you do dont be honest. They will try and tell you in recovery honesty is the first thing and then when they do they kick you out. I know of 3people they did that to and me lucky for me I'm a vet and went to the best place in the United states. It's on the beach, surf classes everyday, deep sea fishing, meeting celebrities etc. You see the top drs everyday and you each class that is held they are Dr. And you go to about 4 - 6 a day This is probably the best place in Bakersfield but if your a vet I recommend coming here till you get a referral to west LA

This place helped me so much with what I was going through, and the fact that they help so much and are so nice while their at it is just insanely great. Maria helped me a lot at the front desk and everyone was really friendly here.
