About Valenta Mental Health

Located in Rancho Cucamonga, California, Valenta Mental Health provides eating disorder treatment, mental health treatment, and dual diagnosis treatment to adults who are seeking support in their recovery. They offer partial hospitalization and outpatient levels of care.

The partial hospitalization program meets five days a week and offers holistic therapies, mental health treatment, medication management, family support sessions, and group therapy. The duration of this program depends on the needs of the client. Once a person shows signs of being able to keep their food behaviors under control and their mental health elevated to a functional place, they may choose to reduce the number of hours spent in therapy each week.

The outpatient program offers nutritional support services, in-person or online sessions, individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and more. Once the outpatient program has been completed, clients often choose to maintain an aftercare program that allows for ongoing support.

Valenta Mental Health accepts most insurance plans, including Amerigroup, Wellmark, Tricare, ComPsych, Kaiser, Ambetter, Humana, and more. Out-of-network benefits may vary, so it’s important to verify coverage with the provider prior to starting treatment.

I am beyond happy with the service i receive here, they truly care, it s not a fake care facility they want you to succeed. I would recommend to anyone suffering from anxiety, depression, ptsd etc to come here you won t be disappointed. The counselors are caring the therapist are dedicated to you and the Psychiatrist has raised the bar in what I will look for when I need a new one. You must at least check it out if you re looking for a facility. I love Valenta!

The head psychiatrist honestly gave me the creeps. It almost feels like he got pleasure from my trauma. If I could give this place zero stars, I would. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy.

Don t even bother trying to go here if you don t have a family to support you. I was denied treatment because I don t have a supportive family or someone who is willing to donate a few hours a week to go to a family session with me. It is hard enough to be on your own in the world and still have the courage to ask for help. To be denied mental health services because you don t have a supportive family system or a friend who can donate a lot of time to your recovery is fundamentally unethical. And it sticks a knife in the very essence of something terribly painful for people who are alone in the world. This also speaks to the very nature of eating disorders facilities. These facilities are generally geared for people of a certain socio-economic populous. In other words generally wealthy white women. These people usually have others who support them. They do not serve low income people who come from abusive backgrounds with little to no support except the courage in their hearts to help themselves. You do not hear about people having to have a support in order to receive mental health treatment anywhere else. This is a disgrace, shameful, and a stain on the mental health system.

Location

Accepted Insurance

Valenta Mental Health works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

Clinical Services

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Please do not send your children here, or seek treatment for yourself here. Specifically do not work with Dr. Mar or any of his therapists. I was crippled by Valenta for 8 months as woman in my early 20s- my privacy and very personal space violated in every way. I was coerced into making up events that did not happen, so the doctor can say see I told you so . The doctor refused to help me with disability so I was financially unable to take care of myself for those 8 months. I was once denied water after having a mental breakdown. I was constantly body shamed and made to feel uncomfortable and sexualized by staff- for example I was forced to wear a cardigan over my shirt on a hot day because it was too revealing . Valenta and the male creepy doctor who would sit very close to me during sessions and pry on my past trauma s, traumatized me and I was unable to seek treatment for a long time afterward. When I was ready, I was amazed at the difference when you have quality care and a safe environment to do the hard work of overcoming an eating disorder and past traumas. My new therapist was shocked and disgusted when I told her about Valenta. The minors would message me telling me how the doctor made them uncomfortable that day by staring at their chests or asking inappropriate questions. Whenever we would try to avoid answering such an invasive question we would be accused of refusing treatment. I wish I had never come across Valenta. Please don t make the same mistake I did.

Valenta gave me all of the tools I needed to reframe the way I think.It has been 6months since I finished my therapy with them and Im so proud to say my mental health is where I only dreamed of it to be. No one is perfect and daily stressors exits but now I know how to cope and deal with the things that life throws my way. The people around me have told me they see a huge difference in me and my mindset.I have a more positive outlook, I can see things a bit more clear, I have goals for my future and I feel more positive about it. I can t believe I m saying this but My anxiety is manageable and not one day goes by that I don t use the coping skills that I learn with them.I really wanted this, I gave them my best that I had at that time and I truly feel that they reciprocated their best too.6months later I can still apply everything I learned with each and everyone of the incredible therapist I had the opportunity to work with. Thank you Valenta from the bottom of my heart! Be healthy, be powerful & Make healthy choices!

It feels weird coming back here to write this 10 years later, but I find myself still struggling to come to grips with the treatment I received here. After battling an eating disorder for 18 years, I finally sought help. I thought I would be in and out in a few weeks, but after exactly a year of treatment I ended up hospitalized due to the treatment itself. The use of EMDR felt guided by the psychiatrist, I was left alone for hours staring into a bright light for desensitization as light was a trigger to some of my anxiety (I was forgotten about). Once a therapist told the psychiatrist they would report him to the board, that luckily never happened again. However, I was over medicated to the point where I had Akasthisia and then medicated again to counteract this which dropped my heart rate to 38-40 most days. I was lethargic and not able to function that well. As a single mom, this made my daily life very difficult. At one point the meds made me gain 10 lbs in one week. They told me it was all in my head (I was weighing myself at home at that point so I knew this was not true). When I disagreed with a therapist who said I was wanting attention when I had a flashback after the psychiatrist flashed his watch light into my eye, they threatened to withhold emdr from me until I told this therapist why I disagreed with her. Some days I was asked absurd questions when I was leaving for the weekend (ex. What would you do if your mom died) leaving me with more anxiety for the weekend. Many of the adults there at the time has been in and out for years like a revolving door. Groups were hard because they wanted us to expose all of abuse we had discussed privately. I felt that at times I was purposely and unnecessarily triggered. When I was hospitalized due to the medications at the end of my treatment, the psychiatrist told all patients not to talk to me. They attempted to charge me more than I should ve been charged (after I had reported my treatment to the medical board, I was not charged. Not sure if it was a coincidence or not). There was a fire right after I ended treatment and when I asked for my medical records I was told I couldn t have them. I needed to get an attorney to write a letter requesting them. My trauma timeline was not included in my records. Years later I got some answers and now know that the treatment I received was nowhere near adequate. I could be wrong but it felt as though they created dependence in order to keep their patients coming in or coming back. There was a consensus about the treatment amongst many patients at the time. I have struggled with PTSD due to the treatment. The only thing I gained was the ability to speak up and advocate for myself. I have not gone back to therapy nor do I ever plan to. My trust in that field is broken. I reported to the medical board and it was investigated for a year and a half. I did not report everything as I was still in a haze at the time I ended treatment. I have sent numerous documents in since just so there is record if anyone else ever goes that route. I am deeply saddened as I put my full trust in the team and hoped it would be the help I needed. For anyone looking for treatment for themselves or others, I would research other places.

I took my son twice to the lab and twice for an EKG because they always ask for it to be recent. I had to vaccinate my son against COVID. I waited weeks and in the end they told me that they were not in network with my insurance and that they could not admit my son. They made me waste my time. Now I started a new option and hopefully he will be helped.

where the hell do i even start.this is literally not a safe environment, at all. all of the staff are VERY passive aggressive and seem that they shouldn't be working in an eating disorder facility. like who even hired them.. a dietician literally told me I gained weight, I brought this up to Sylvia and she said if that affects you so much it shows you shouldn't discharge. these people seriously do not care about you, they only see you as $$$, just wanting money from you. I wanted to discharge and they went on scaring my parents saying "its ama!!!" and that "my social worker will be advised!" not even taking into consideration my literal essay I wrote why I felt like I could be discharged. they failed to de-escalate the situation when they said they didn't wanna discharge me and I literally had a panic/anxiety attack after the family session causing me to feel super nauseous and literally gagging. oh also, the dietician got super weird about me going over my meal plan, like I'm gonna follow my hunger cues, and I learned that in residential. she got pressed about me going over it and went on saying I didn't follow my meal plan even though I went over it because I was SUPER hungry. this is literally a program for eating disorders.. how is it possible for staff to literally make me feel even more guilty than I already am. having this disorder is enough. and being forced to attend to a program that has the worst staff ever is too much. not even done yet, I love the fact that they tell everyone that its a voluntary program. when in reality the options are to stay there or transfer to residential. those aren't even choices. they act like we as patients have the choice, but we really dont. programs like these, more specifically, staff like these are the reason people dont recover from eating disorders, because you guys literally DO NOT KNOW how to help. sometimes you guys make things even worse, dont think I didn't read the other reviews. I should've trusted the reviews I saw before coming here because I experienced everything everyone else did. should've trusted my gut but at least I'm gonna get help at another facility.thanks for nothingupdate - lol I'm trying to get into another php because I just got out of residential and I need a php !! and valenta told the php that I didn't follow the rules. Babe, just because I went over my meal plan?? y'all are insane LMFAO. now the other php doest wanna let me get evaluated because I discharged and probably valenta said other things about me. The mental health system fails us fr

Valenta was recommended to us for our daughter who struggles with OCD and anxiety. She started the program early in 2021 so everything was done virtually - even virtually the program was very effective and efficient. I never had any concerns about privacy or care because of the virtual platform. The program itself is exceptional and was well suited to our situation. Our daughter is thriving! And it wasn t just her that benefited. We all learned how to help her and learned tools and coping skills that she can use for the rest of her life. My advice to parents is to lean in to the program and trust the process. Let go of everything you think you know and be open to learning and listening - both to the staff and your child. I am so grateful to Valenta and the wonderful staff for coming to us at just the right time when we really needed the support.

DO NOT go here. If I could give them 0 stars, I would. I was a patient here several years ago when I was 16, and had a horrible experience. Sylvia was super passive aggressive. They do not have a good system for making girls eat their meals. Dr.Mar forces EVERY client to go through EMDR even if they do not think they have trauma. Dr. Mar is also known to be verbally inappropriate towards certain others. When I was kicked out of the program I was told I would either discharge or graduate in two weeks, either way I was getting discharged. I relapsed less than 2 months after I left. I am now recovered from my eating disorder but no thanks to them. Go to Center for Discovery if you want a better treatment experience for your child or yourself.
