From top to bottom this place was wonderful. Giving me the tools and education I needed to begin my sober journey. The staff was top of the line the groups were diverse and engaging and the therapy I received in a short time really helped me discover some of the truth of my addiction. I'd recommend this place to anyone who looking to clean and sober and live their best life. Thank you Iris, techs, therapists, and facilitators and cooks!!

Iris Healing Retreat saved my life. Before going to Iris I had never managed to stay sober. I used for 13 long years. Iris was a safe, joyful, informed, comfortable facility where I was able to begin cultivating my recovery journey. Once I left I was able to begin working with a sponsor, I worked the steps, and today I’m 5 years sober. I was so inspired by Iris I went back to school to become a therapist myself and I now too work helping addicts recover. Thank you Iris Healing Retreat for helping me get a second chance at a beautiful life.

As a trauma specialist in the mental health community, I always strive to keep abreast of the best programs to refer my clients to when they are needing more care than we can offer in outpatient. What stands out most about Iris Healing is how much they invest in evidence-based care. They blend proven therapies with holistic approaches—so clients don’t just get treatment, they get thoughtfully crafted healing plans that reflect up-to-date, high-quality clinical practice. It feels clear they’re not just keeping up; they’re striving to lead.
Accessibility is another big win. Insurance? They take most PPO and HMO plans, and can help walk people through benefits so cost isn’t even a barrier. Plus, they offer same-day admissions and transportation support, which really matters when getting help can feel overwhelming.
Iris’s TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a true game-changer, especially for folks who’ve tried therapy or meds without getting relief. Iris makes this therapy accessible covering it under Medicare in some cases.
All in all, Iris Healing delivers effective, accessible, compassionate, and genuinely supportive care. It’s the kind of place I'm proud to recommend—and excited to partner with.

As a licensed psychologist, If I’m needing to refer a complex client; especially with trauma, dual-diagnosis or resistance to standard care, Iris Healing Retreat is absolutely my go to. It marries holistic healing with clinical integrity. In addition, If a client  spiritually inclined, Iris Healing really builds on spirituality and its influence  in supporting the healing process.
Set in a beautiful, luxury home with an incredible chef, clients feel  deserving and well taken care of.

Iris Healing Retreat in Woodland Hills, CA is one of the most clinically sophisticated and ethically grounded treatment centers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. As a treatment provider myself, I am extremely careful about where I refer both clients and my own loved ones—especially when it comes to facilities offering a full continuum of care.

Iris Healing Retreat consistently exceeds my expectations, providing everything from detox and residential treatment to intensive outpatient (IOP) and outpatient psychotherapy, all under one thoughtfully integrated umbrella.

What truly sets Iris Healing Retreat apart is the depth and breadth of their clinical approach. Clients receive not only depth-oriented psychotherapy, but also access to some of the most cutting-edge neuroscientific interventions available today, including TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) and neurofeedback. This combination of evidence-based modalities and holistic support creates a uniquely healing environment for individuals struggling with complex mental health and substance use challenges.

I’m always confident referring to Iris Healing because it is owned and operated by a seasoned clinician—Dr. Elena Kapustina—whose values and leadership ensure that clinical integrity is never compromised by corporate interests. That level of clinical oversight translates into personalized, ethical, and genuinely healing care.

Whether for primary mental health, substance use, trauma, or co-occurring concerns, Iris Healing Retreat is a rare and trusted gem in the treatment landscape. I wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone seeking comprehensive, compassionate, and truly transformative support.

I have to admit the first moment i walked into iris healing retreat i felt like i was able to exhale for the first time in a long time. It was like peace was in the air. It’s not only beautiful but it felt like a safe place from the beginning. Selah is amazing she is the kind of person you hope to meet on a journey of healing. She was present and felt like she truly cares for you. She really helped me feel safe, seen, and heard. I havnt felt that in a long time. Then there is chef Amanda. She is like a magician, and her wand is the spatula. Every meal she made was on some next level stuff. Healthy, for sure. But i absolutely wanted more. You feel the love and intention in every bite. I came to iris to heal, and that’s what i got and then some. I left lighter, clearer, and more connected than i think i have ever felt. It’s not only the people, of the serene surroundings, but it is the entire thing and how they all work together.

A Life-Changing Experience at Iris Healing Retreat

I cannot speak highly enough about my experience at Iris Healing Retreat in Woodland Hills. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, supported, and understood. The entire team—from the clinical staff to the holistic practitioners—genuinely cares about each individual’s healing journey. They create a nurturing environment that promotes not only recovery, but lasting personal transformation.

What sets Iris apart is their integrated approach to healing. They don’t just focus on symptoms—they dig deep, combining evidence-based therapies with holistic practices like yoga, meditation, and spiritual counseling. The facility itself is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and designed to promote clarity and calm. It truly feels like a sanctuary.

The therapists and counselors are incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and skilled at guiding clients through even the most complex emotional and psychological challenges. I also appreciated the individualized treatment plans that addressed my specific needs, not a one-size-fits-all model.

I left Iris Healing Retreat not only sober, but with a renewed sense of purpose, inner peace, and hope for the future. If you or a loved one is looking for a place that treats the whole person—mind, body, and spirit!
