Full review (verbatim):
As a clinician, I am very intentional and cautious about where I refer families for mental health care—and Engage Treatment Program in Westlake Village, CA is my most trusted source for children, adolescents, and young adults. What sets Engage apart is their commitment to treating the whole family, not just the identified client. This systemic approach is absolutely vital, and it’s one of the many reasons I consistently refer to them with full confidence.
Engage is owned and operated by two licensed clinicians, which means clinical integrity and client-centered care are always prioritized—never overshadowed by corporate or financial interests. Their professional grounding is not only deep but also unique: both founders have exceptional training in early childhood mental health, which is a critically underserved area in our field. Their expertise in working with young children is rare and invaluable.
This program is a true gem. I have referred many clients to Engage, and I’ve received nothing but outstanding feedback. I would trust them with my own children, and that’s not something I say lightly. The team is trustworthy, warm, clinically sophisticated, and deeply compassionate. If you’re looking for ethical, evidence-based, and heartfelt care for your child or teen, Engage is the gold standard.
