From Our Community

As a psychiatrist in the community, PCI Westlake centers is my go-to treatment program referral source for individuals with mental health and/or substance use conditions. I can always rely on this program to take great care of my patients. When they return to see me, I am always impressed with the exceptional treatment they have received. Can’t highly recommend PCI enough to individuals seeking further treatment.

I had a very pleasant experience at PCI. The staff are all highly professional and very caring toward clients. The director of the clinic pays individual attentions to each client and tailors treatment to individual needs. The office space is always neat and very welcoming filled with positive energy. I highly recommend PCI to anyone looking to receive the utmost professional treatment.

I attended PCI in Westlake Village for a dug and alcohol problem I have been struggling with on and off for my entire life. I have been to multiple rehabs and multiple detoxes and always ended up back in active addiction. I was referred to PCI as an outpatient service from a detox I had attended. I was able to get group therapy, one on one sessions with a therapist I grew to trust and was prescribed medication that was right for me at that time. Since completing the IOP course at PCI. I am almost 10 months sober. Most time I have ever had, and seems to come almost effortless at this point. I am forever appreciative of Dr. Miriam and Dr. Patrick and the entire staff of PCI. I really would not be where I am with out their support and knowledge.

  • - Tanya B.

Recommending PCI is an understatement. The change that took place in my life was because of the resources that were given to me by Dr. Miriam and her team at PCI. They helped me turn my life around so that I could be the person that they knew I was capable of all along.

  • - Tanya Bramson

I began attending PCI in June of 2018, I was incredibly nervous and unsure of what to expect, but those feelings were immediately met with warmth and support. The therapists at PCI helped me build a foundation, not only for long term sobriety, but for emotional growth as well. I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for Efren and the rest of the team. I have learned so much about myself, about healthy coping skills, and that vulnerability does not equal weakness. For me I knew I needed therapeutic support, as well as the help of a 12 step program in order to succeed in my recovery. With the support and skills I learned I now have three years of sobriety, incredible relationships, and job that I love. I am forever grateful for my time in PCI's intensive outpatient and my continued individual work with Efren.

PCI is a true dual diagnosis center that utilizes individual, group and family therapies in a targeted & unique treatment plan for each client. Additionally, they offer a bi-monthly family support/education meeting led by a medical doctor (Dr. Diamond) and a psychologist (Dr. Miriam). These group meetings were invaluable as they not only provided educational resources to family members but also opportunities to share experiences with other families in a confidential, supportive and safe space. Our loved one came to PCI’s IOP as a step down program after hospitalization and residential treatment. Dr. Miriam, Efren(therapist) Dr. Wendy(vocational counselor) & the rest of the IOP care team helped our loved one reclaim his life one step at a time. He felt seen, heard, validated and respected at all times. Once our loved one graduated from the IOP, he was able to continue seeing Efren and Dr. Wendy weekly on an outpatient basis, as well as continue participating in family therapy sessions as needed. This continuity of care helped him successfully manage the transition back to college as a sober, full-time student. PCI not only helped our loved one heal, but also our entire family. In our ongoing family therapy sessions, Dr. Miriam provided the support and guidance we needed to have open, honest and raw conversations. She helped us identify and change many of the unhealthy patterns/habits that had kept us all stuck for so long, and over time, our entire family dynamic shifted in so many positive, beautiful ways. We are beyond grateful to be a part of the PCI family.
