Mental health care can sometimes feel out of reach. Maybe you thought it was only for people in crisis. Maybe you figured you just had to “deal with it” on your own. Or perhaps the idea of sitting in a therapist’s office and talking about your feelings seemed awkward or overwhelming.
But then you found out about Lightfully, and mental health care actually felt possible.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 1 in 5 American adults experience a mental health condition in a given year. When you’re experiencing mental health symptoms, it can be difficult to see a way forward. Obstacles like a lack of transportation or fear of social stigmas might make you hesitant to seek care. The good news is that Lightfully will work to meet you where you are on your mental health journey. Learning more about our approach can show how we can help you.
POV: You thought your struggles weren’t “bad enough” for therapy
Have you ever thought, “Other people have it worse, so I should just push through”?
If so, it’s important to understand that all kinds of mental health challenges are valid. Mental health care isn’t just for people in crisis. You don’t have to hit rock bottom to deserve support. Stress, anxiety, low motivation, burnout, feeling stuck — these are all real struggles that impact your daily life. And you deserve help with them.
Everyone experiences mental health in different ways. Each person’s mental health journey is unique, and it’s not always totally visible to people on the outside. Imagine your mental health as a tree. The tree’s trunk and branches are visible to everyone. This is kind of like a person’s outward behaviors. There’s a lot more to the tree beneath the surface, though. The roots of a tree play a vital role in keeping it stable and nourished. Sometimes, issues affect the roots of a tree, causing problems that can’t be seen from the outside.
The same is true with mental health. Mental health symptoms are often invisible from the outside, affecting you in ways that other people can’t see. Other people not seeing your symptoms doesn’t make them any less real. Fortunately, you are more than your mental health symptoms. A tree might change over the seasons, shriveling and growing in turn, but continue to thrive. In the same way, while your mental health symptoms might ebb and flow over time, continual support can keep you anchored and resilient.
Lightfully isn’t just about treating severe conditions (though we do that too). We’re about you, your life and helping you feel better, no matter where you’re starting from. We offer four levels of care designed to help people with a wide range of conditions and symptoms.
POV: You didn’t think you had the time
Between work, school, family and life in general, you might feel like you don’t have time to take care of your mental health.
While having a busy schedule is understandable, mental health care isn’t just another thing on your to-do list. It’s something that can actually make everything else easier. When your mental health improves, it affects everything — your energy levels, your motivation, your relationships, your ability to handle stress and more.
At Lightfully, we offer options designed to fit your life, including virtual care. Having an online therapy option means you can get comprehensive support that’s also flexible. Even if you’re juggling a lot of responsibilities, you can still get the support you need on your schedule.
Our online options include a Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (vIOP) and a Virtual Partial Hospitalization Program (vPHP). These virtual treatment programs deliver quality at-home treatment to people across the state of California.
POV: Lightfully gets it
Imagine this: You don’t have to pretend you’re fine. You don’t have to minimize what you’re going through. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
That’s what Lightfully is here for.
We meet you where you are, whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, stress or just feeling lost. Whether you’re new to therapy or have tried it before, whether you’re looking for a little extra support or a higher level of care, we can provide treatment that matches your needs.
At Lightfully, the framework of everything we do is based on evidence, compassion and whole-person-centered care. We take a unique approach to treatment called Precision Care Model (PCM). PCM is a fully personalized treatment plan designed just for you — using the most effective aspects of evidence-based treatments to target the drivers behind mental health disorders and symptoms. With our help, you can realize change is possible for you.
When you’re ready to take the first step in getting treatment that matches your needs, reach out to our Admissions Concierge Team. We’ll take the next steps together, toward the fullest, brightest version of you.
