Lido Wellness Center Newport Beach CA - Newport Beach, California

A. S.

Please, heed this warning, and stay far away from this so called “wellness center.” The irresponsible manner in which they handled those vulnerable in their care is appalling. Before committing to admission, make sure to read the bios of the staff thoroughly to inform yourself of their “qualifications.” It is simply awful to know this place is still in business. I have documentation after documentation of the reckless behavior exhibited at Lido. Don’t be fooled by their seemingly “professional and caring” facility. The way they provided their modalities/therapy was at best mediocre. But it was the carelessness and downright abusive manner they cared for their most vulnerable clients that is sickening. Lido not only handled multiple situations unethically but illegally. They breached their duty to provide appropriate standard of care causing multiple clients to experience emotional harm. They were responsible for improper supervision and minimizing/ignoring suicidal symptoms in a resident patient. They delayed referring a suicidal patient to a higher level of care. They treated their entire women’s resident facility with negligence and disregard for their safety. Protocols required for suicide risk assessment and ensuring patients weren’t at risk of harming themselves were not followed. I felt the need to warn others; so for your sake and the sake of your loved ones, run from this place.

This summer I embarked on a healing journey that ultimately led me to Lido Wellness in Newport Beach, CA. There I would spend 2 1/2 months in both Lido's PHP & IOP. I transitioned from Sierrea Tuscon to Lido and couldn't be more pleased with my choice for a step-down program to address my compounded PTSD from a decade of surgeries.

From the clinical staff to the housing staff I simply can't say enough about the knowledge, professionalism, and programming.

Lido's holistic approach coupled with the quaint seashore Village of Newport Beach was a perfect fit. I found the community there to be supportive and was welcomed everywhere I went - as I felt part of programming was engaging outside of program as well, and this unique location offered just that opportunity.

By offering Talk Therapy, Group Processing, EMDR, TMS, Creative Writing, Somatic Dialogue, CBT, DBT, Meditation, Boundary Work, Relationship Work, Assignments, Activities, and the list goes on - Lido has the right approach to make overall healing attainable & possible. I would add, as with any program, you have to put in the time, effort, and work. Yet they have the model and it works!

I also was able to live in their housing as well. It was convenient, clean, and very comfortable. Additionally, the housing support team was amazing and I remain grateful to each of them.

I had many choices when I picked a step-down program. Lido Wellness was the right choice and I have no regrets about my decision!

Thank you team Lido🙏🏻

As a professional that works in the behavioral health field I've had the opportunity to tour many treatment facilities. I found Lido Wellness Center to stand far above other similar treatment centers. The staff is so friendly and welcoming as well as very knowledgeable in treating mental health issues. They offer a wide range of therapies including TMS for depression and are centrally located near the beach in a gorgeous setting. I have seen many success stories coming from Lido Wellness Center. I would highly recommend them!

Everyone at Lido Wellness is very welcoming and caring. They go above the normal standard of care to help each person with their individual needs. They genuinely seem to care about each persons wellness and their own process of healing/recovery.
The program is small, which helps it to feel comfortable and more personalized.
The program itself is set up very well.
I was at an in-treatment facility for 30 days in Arizona then went to Lido for my PHP and IOP treatment.
The Lido team helped me through my transitions to each step down program and then back home.
They incorporate a blend of one of ones, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, (small) group therapy, learning coping skills, art therapy, recreational therapy and psychotherapy. Which I think was an essential piece of my recovery.
The Lido office is in a very nice area, near Newport Beach.
I am extremely grateful to Lido and the entire staff for all they did for me. They helped so I was prepared to go home, but also made it hard to leave because they are all so amazing. Thank You Lido ❤️

After years of being in and out of treatment, I was recommended Lido Wellness Center by someone on my team that I trust. At first I was nervous to try something again, but looking back now there aren't enough words to express my gratitude for this place. I'm not one to really write reviews on things, but I couldn't not share how amazing my experience was there. The staff care deeply and are all incredibly knowledgable. It's structured and runs smoothly on a daily basis. I worked through so many things that I have never uncovered before and was finally able to get to the root of so many issues through the many different treatments they offer. I can't thank the staff enough for the kindness, patience, empathy, love, and care. They truly helped me find freedom and a voice.

Ms. Sara Asadifar treats her therapeutic role as a job and patients as an asset, devoid of the compassion and commitment vital for true healing. She is unprofessional, evasive, discourteous, insensitive, and rigid, with total disregard for her patients' emotional welfare. She will unilaterally drop you, via text, without seeking understanding or proper communication. Even after an explanation and a request to reconsider her stance, you will encounter a resolute decline. Ms. Asadifar takes advantage of the high demand of therapists and misuses this power to her benefit. Because of this, your investment of time, money, and emotions will be futile, but more importantly, your loved ones will be left to deal with their struggles without proper support. Exercise caution when considering her as a therapist. Your pursuit of well-being warrants a practitioner who genuinely values your emotional journey and not just an easily replaceable financial asset. Note: this review pertains to Sara’s private practice, not to the Lido Wellness Center as the institution.

Lido Wellness went above and beyond to help me. They have incredible staff who sincerely care about your health and well being. I had the best experience being at Lido for two months. I came away transformed and I got my life back. I’m so thankful for Lido and their amazing incredibly talented and understanding staff. Thanks for all you do! I can’t recommend them enough!

Going to Lido Wellness Center was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. The smaller group setting and upscale location in the marina provided a more intimate environment that made me feel safe and part of a family. The therapists are LEGIT. They are straight shooters that aren’t afraid to help you dig deep and empower you to separate the facts from the feelings. The skills I learned after 2 months have influenced almost every part of my personal and professional life today. I was absolutely terrified of returning to a life in the fast lane but now I wake up eager to make my own road. There wasn’t a magic pill or overnight fix for the things I was going through. There was just a place that gave me a chance to let my guard down, let go of all my shame, and embrace the good parts of my crazy. Lido allowed me to finally accept being human and helped me fall in love with all the glorious faults that come with it. It’s been 6 months since my time with Lido Wellness Center and everyday presents challenges for me but by continuing to practice the skill sets and routines I learned I have faith that I will always be stronger then yesterday.

Just some of my favorite parts: Somatic Experiencing, Yoga, Boogie Boarding at the beach, and Building some sick sand castles. Oh also you can go whale watching like everyday on your free time!
