Sierra Tucson

It would be difficult to accurately put into this review the amount of impact Sierra Tucson had on my life. This place gave me back my life. Tim…the CEO…is real people. He is the real deal. No fluff. What an amazing team he has put together there in Tucson. I am still breathing today because of the 45 days I spent in their care. Even tho it was not what I expected…it was exactly what I needed to get my right mind back. The care team locked in my medication (chemical💊) as well as locked in my psychology (✨🧠✨ ) thru helping me work to abandon any hope of a better past. Because of Sierra Tucson, I am finally free of the “weight” of my past. I can honestly wake up each morning finally living aligned….a healthy person in spirit, mind, and body. I want to share my experiences, strength, & hope thru my ongoing story✊🏼

I recently had the opportunity to meet with several staff members at Sierra Tucson. I work for Desert Star Addictions Recovery Center in Tucson and I wanted to introduce myself and my center to their case managers. I was set up to meet them quickly and cordially by Dasa Schmidt. The gathering went really well and I was encouraged by the passion the staff members had for finding the best care for their clients. Thank you, Sierra Tucson.

Several years ago, I was referred to the PTSD and Trauma Recovery Program at Sierra Tucson after trying to find healing and relief from my symptoms at several other mental health institutions. The PTSD and Trauma Recovery Program at Sierra Tucson saved my life, and I cannot thank the Sierra Tucson team enough for their help, support, and care during my stay. Everyone I interacted with was wonderful and it was clear that all of the employees really cared about the patients. I greatly appreciated the thoughtful and caring approach that my psychiatrist (Dr. McClane) and my primary therapist (Gordy Longville) brought to our sessions. My EMDR sessions with Clinical Director Kelli Parks were transformative; it was the first time I have ever been able to process my traumatic memories without being retraumatized. And in the sessions led by Dr. James Seymour, I understood for the first time what trauma does to the body, why I had the symptoms I had, and how the skills we were learning would help retrain the body and mind. I found these sessions incredibly helpful and healing. The sessions mentioned above were complimented with a very good classes on different types of therapies, art therapy, music therapy, etc ….. And my favorite was the equine therapy with Jennifer, Michael, and Josh. After I finished my treatment at Sierra Tucson, it was very helpful to have ongoing support from Twyla Brett, a Connect365 Recovery Coach. Sierra Tucson helped me heal my past trauma in ways that were never possible before. Today with my ongoing maintenance therapy, I am essentially symptom free; something that I never thought would be possible. My family and I will be forever grateful to Sierra Tucson and to the team members who supported me during my stay.

I spent a month at Sierra Tucson in February 2025, following a deep depression and intense anxiety. From the moment I arrived, I felt well cared for, truly heard, and treated with compassion. The doctors are top-notch—they took the time to create a plan specifically for me, adjusting my medications and setting me up for success. Beyond the exceptional care, the setting itself is beautiful, a peaceful place to recover. I still have work to do, but now I have the tools to process and move forward productively. This is a good place.

My experience at Sierra Tucson was nothing short of a miracle , I got my life back! The exceptional therapists were incredibly helpful to assist me in finding my authentic self. I will be forever grateful to Sierra Tucson for helping me to make the changes necessary to find peace , joy and compassion for myself. The property is absolutely beautiful and the ability to swim, spend time with horse s and sit outdoors in December, was also very healing in itself. Thank you doesn’t seem like enough for my gratitude! Peace to all who enter through the gates of Sierra Tucson.
