Long Beach Trauma Recovery Center 1045 Atlantic Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90813

"This center is a non-profit and take in clients for research. Because of this they have a strict regulations to control their variables. Unfortunately, some people are accepted then unaccepted. So, please be aware that the bad reviews are because they were denied access probably in an inconvenient way. Again, this is a NPO which means the workers may not be competent as a trauma clinic that charges standard fees (such as $300 per session). Remember, this place is FREE and for people with low income. I've been through this clinic twice, first time I took CPT and second time they re-accepted me since my issues were very complex and it helped their research. I took the NPT at the CSULB location. I am forever grateful to this clinic for pushing me towards the direction of my healing journey. It really breaks my heart that people were rejected but again, remember this place is free and it literally saves so many lives. They have a very long wait-list because they are the only clinic in Southern California that offers this free service for our community's mental health. Thank you Trauma Clinic of LB. Forever grateful."

"I have gone through trauma my whole life and was actively going through trauma while I applied here. When i applied I informed them of my autism and my medical marijuana use for said autism. 5 months later I get assigned to a therapist and am really looking forward to getting some help. I meet with my therapist and inform her of my trauma, abandonment issues, etc. After 2 sessions I am informed that they can not work with me due to the medical marijuana use which was mentioned before I even got on the wait list. They recommended me to some very insulting and ableist disability centers instead. Thanks for adding to my abandonment issues because the only person I thought could help me gave up on me before the intake was even completed."

"We were going through a very traumatic event this year and as a mom I try and try so hard for my daughter to get to a better place. When I got a call from the trauma recovery center to be off the waiting list, I was very excited for her to receive the mental health help that she needs. I was so wrong. Her condition got way worse due to their ignorant procedures/protocol. It took many many steps backward for my daughter in her recover process. The purpose of my review is to help anybody considering this place."

"Long Beach Trauma Recovery is helping me through a traumatic event in my life!! I like to give a shout out to the front desk and especially my therapist llene. I am still in the process of recovery, still continue with my sessions. I am not the same woman that walked in that office last year. Thank you so much!! I will keep you updated of my progress. I hope you all will too."

"I walked in there the other day ,because I had an appointment. My therapist had sent me there because she thought it might be of help, since I recently lost a loved one and it’s been extremely traumatic. I told the lady what I was going through and she then asked me if I had any other traumatic experiences before my aunt died. I told her no and she said that what I had experienced wasn’t traumatic (mind you, I witnessed my aunts death and how her body jumped to try to get air. She died of cancer and I had been getting flashbacks of her death). Then she asked why my therapist had sent me there. And gave me papers to different facilities. Because unless I had witnessed a murder or suicide, it wasn’t traumatic. I am definitely not going to come back here."
