Client Success Stories
When I entered Lightfully, I was in one of the worst mental conditions of my life – controlled by fear, relying on unhealthy coping mechanisms like weed addiction and isolation. Within three months of their Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program, my life transformed dramatically.
Lightfully taught me to identify my window of tolerance, manage my emotions, and utilize healthy coping skills. I’ve learned to approach my anxiety with curiosity rather than fear, asking “Why am I feeling scared?” instead of immediately retreating. The program helped me restore my confidence and self-love, allowing me to battle body dysmorphia and reconnect with personal care routines I once loved.
Thanks to the exceptional care from staff members like Lex, Kaley Ann, and others, I’ve regained curiosity about my mental health while developing healthier relationships with food, myself, and others. Though I still experience anxiety and PTSD symptoms, I now coexist with them rather than being ruled by them. I understand life will have dark times, but I finally have the balance I’ve always wanted – I’m not done living yet.
The entire team at Lightfully – from therapists and Client Care Technicians to Nurse Fannie – provided wonderfully supportive and kind care throughout my treatment. I particularly benefited from learning to identify and live by my personal values, one of Lightfully’s main treatment goals that proved incredibly helpful for my recovery journey.
Since completing treatment, I’ve experienced remarkable improvements: securing a new job, removing toxic relationships that didn’t respect my boundaries, and discovering my true self-identity. I’m especially grateful to Dr. Rukiya, who was the perfect therapist for me, along with all the case workers, Program Managers, and Program Coordinators who truly listened and provided authentic support.
Thanks to Lightfully’s treatment and my own dedication to the work, I now face each day with growing hope for my future.
My experience at Lightfully was incredibly positive, with staff like Kaley Ann ensuring I was always comfortable and had everything I needed. The therapists were remarkably supportive and thoughtful in their responses, and when I voiced concerns, everyone took my frustrations seriously and showed genuine accountability – a level of care I’ve never experienced at any facility before.
Through group therapy with both therapists and peers, I developed valuable coping skills and gained profound insights about myself in Lightfully’s peaceful, clean, and beautiful environment. The facility’s family-like atmosphere and camaraderie among staff created a safe, conducive healing space, complemented by luxuries like a private chef and cooking classes.
I would undoubtedly recommend Lightfully to anyone seeking mental health support – it shaped an extremely positive outlook on treatment for my first facility experience.
When I called several mental health facilities in September feeling hopeless and helpless, Colton from Lightfully’s admissions team responded with such calming kindness that I immediately knew this was the right place for me. His consistent support before my admission – offering coping techniques and expediting my start date when I couldn’t wait any longer – set the tone for the exceptional care I would receive.
Upon arriving at Sunrise, I was amazed to find not a clinical facility but what felt like a retreat, where staff joined clients for meals and games, creating a supportive and collaborative environment. The entire clinical team treated me with respect and dignity, involving me in creating treatment plans to address my past traumas while providing practical tools for managing distress.
From the immaculate facilities and healthy, delicious meals to the professional and kind CCT team who served as the foundation of the house, every aspect of Lightfully exceeded my expectations. In Colton’s words, “You’ll come out of this revitalized and renewed with new tools to help you along the way” – and I couldn’t agree more with that beautiful promise fulfilled.
