Find Mental Health Treatment & Behavioral Health Services in Bend, Oregon

My 10 year old daughter, now 11, spent 5 months at Embark Bend, OR and it was both the hardest and best choice I've ever made for her (and the family). Nothing we had tried until then had made any difference and home life was incredibly stressful for all family members. They answered all my questions, kept me updated, responded quickly to any questions or concerns and gave my daughter the 24/7 support and guidance she needed. By staying in the residential program, she gained experience practicing learned coping skills when interacting with the other children (and adult counselors) at all hours of the day, while being supervised and supported. Along with going on various outings, she participated in equine therapy and took her turn caring for the bunnies. She received individual, group, and family therapy. After reaching her goals, we received support on how to transition her back home, what to expect, and how to engage with her during disregulated times. Our expectations were realistic, knowing that disregulation will still occur at times. Which it has. But I see her actively practicing her coping skills and outbursts are shorter, less frequent, and less intense. She is able to have a normal conversation now instead of shutting down any attempt to discuss her behaviors or emotions. Is it perfect? No. Is it improvement and are we so incredibly proud of her? YES! We now have her in an Embark's stepdown PHP program where she gets to come home every day! I am so thankful for Embark and there are just no words to express the relief and gratitude I feel.

I cannot recommend Drishti enough. I’ve been to multiple therapy offices and I have been blown away by Drishti. At every appointment my therapist shows up with a plan for the therapy session, tools and resources to best support me. I haven’t found this at a previous clinic. The staff are nice and friendly. Loren has been amazing for me while dealing with some deep rooted trauma, medical trauma and overcoming a breakup. Other members of my family see various different therapists and everyone has such positive things to say. I wish everyone had access to Drishti, it’s truly amazing.

I have had an intensly difficult time because of Sage View. I was in my twenties when we met. I am in a facility now, and things are different here. Sometimes it feels like other people don't have my best interest in mind. At this facility now, if I felt that about a staff member it would become an issue with both my therapist and case manager at least. One of the worst things at Sage View is the uncomfortable way these issues are not cared about, decreasing far from best interest. I felt threatened and embarrassed being in your hospital with all the employees that began to know me. We could not get along. Months on meds and I would still end up in PES. I wish you fathom how unbearable it is to be in Sage View. Their employees have eagerly avoided helping me fix or heal anything, while maintaining opposite from positively. ~sofia
