"This place has been very helpful for me. I want to thank all of the staff for making this place feel like a home away from home."
Dr Khan is truly exceptional, offering compassionate care by attentively listening to her patients and their families, and taking the time to clearly explain the complexities of mental health and its potential impacts. Her informative approach and unwavering support have been invaluable. This hospital has made a significant positive difference in the life of my loved one.

Just want to say thank you so much. I was a wreck when I got here. I feel so much better. Thank you to everyone. This is the best experience I've had being inpatient. I could not have asked for more. I felt safe, secure, and cared for. Thank you so very much.

F.R.S.T. - First Responder Specialized Program Patient
" For the first time ever I am confident that I could be in a role like that and I am excited for future possibilities. Being a part of the program definitely helped me have a clearer mind and helped repair my confidence. I contribute that to the work I did in the program. The therapist gave me the tools to better myself and to be who I am today and not a day goes by that I am not grateful for them. Both of my therapists were amazing people and I can't thank you enough."
All the staff in 2 West A have been absolutely amazing! Thank you!

Adult Inpatient
Tristan, Abby and Shania were exceptional during my time here.
Inpatient Adult C
Our son was recently at your facility suffering from psychosis and major depressive disorder. During his stay at your facility we had numerous conversations with Sha Gaynor. We wanted to express our sincere appreciation for all of the help Sha provided. She was always available, sometimes even during her off hours, to discuss our son's progress and to provide valuable recommendations to help with his care at discharge. I cannot say enough about her compassionate approach to caring for our son and her empathetic attitude during our many conversations concerning our son's situation. We were very impressed with her ability to provide valuable medical information along with her willingness to speak from her experience as a parent herself. Inpatient
To: Jacalyn Mulligan, LICSW, Chief Clinical Officer

Adult Inpatient
Thank you to everyone at WBHH who helped me find my light. You showed me love and grace, and you helped me to change my life. Love Always
Patient from F.R.S.T. (First Responder Specialized Program)
I’ve had a lot of experience with a fair share of mental health professionals but this place truly is helping. I’ve been a participant in the adolescent php program and I’ve had Jared as my clinician, he is the most wonderful person you could ever meet and is so beyond accepting of everyone he meets! He has provided me with numerous coping skills that I’ve already seen progress with in the last 2 weeks! Westborough has definitely given me a start to my healing process and I am grateful that I have the opportunity to learn with them!
Adolescent Patient
The program was amazing and taught me a lot about healthy coping skills and steps for relapse prevention.
Stacy was an AWESOME counselor! Learned a lot from the entire group, very all around GOOD PEOPLE!
F.R.S.T First Responders Program
Corinne was great. Music therapy with Sam was great. Jared printed out some very helpful materials based on struggles with cleaning and discussed it in group. Staff were very good working with me to feel safe and secure.
Adult IOP
The nurses were on point and always gracious when needing something. Even though it was a hospital, they made it better.
Adult Inpatient
I was with you the first time I finally cried and felt my feelings. You taught me radical acceptance and taught me it is ok to be me and feel without judgment. I’m so grateful to have met you.
Inpatient
I appreciate all you have done for him and perhaps you can print this and share. The program has been amazing for him. He is actively setting goals and going for them. He has been to 2 other PHPs and did not like either and it was a struggle getting him to go. For your program he was up before me and ready to go when we commuted together and he wanted very badly to return after he got over the flu but unfortunately he had missed the 3 days. He did feel he got all he could from program but wanted to say good bye have closure so that would be great. Literally he had not left the house since August and had not been himself since COVID. He could not drive a car when he started coming. It’s like you woke the son I once knew up from the dead and I am absolutely not kidding. Having him push me to help with his resume and cover letter and drive himself to the store and to the program is truly a miracle to me. You have no Idea how grateful I am for all you have done for him!
Received from Taking Flight patient's Mom
" Everyone was so thoughtful and caring, and I felt well taken care of. Everyone was responsive to our needs. Thank you so very much. I feel like my old self."
Thank you for all the support you’ve provided for me. I grew a liking towards you quickly which allowed me to fully participate in groups. I hope the group stays strong
Adolescent Outpatient Programs
There are not enough words to express my gratitude. Thank you for helping my son.
Mother of adolescent patient from Taking Shape
Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of your program. The staff at WBHH are amazing. I am happy to report I feel so much better and will forever be grateful. Josh Lamkin is by far the best therapist I have ever met. His ability to tailor his therapy for each individual's problem is commendable. He is always available for a "sidebar" and his kind, gentle manner is what everyone needs. I owe my progress to the skills and perspective he taught me. I now have life long skills to use. I would also like to mention Lynn. She also took the time to listen and even went out of her way to print materials and literature she thought would help me. She has the best sense of humor and looked forward to her portion of the day. Rebecca and Shana are also assets to the program. Jared was a great fill-in for Josh. Jared is an amazing therapist and he is going to do great at WBHH. Thank you.

You all made my life and recovery better!
Adult Inpatient
Had a great experience. I feel great today. I would like to especially point out everything that Courage did for me for aftercare, setting me up with a phone and sober living. Every time I thought she disappeared on me, she was making things happen for me I did not even know about. Thank you all.

Emma, I am very grateful for you and all you have done for me and the other attendees of this program. I can tell you really care about the kids here.

Adolescent PHP
Best facility there is!
Inpatient Adult C
"I came to you in a really rough spot in my life. I am extremely grateful to all of the staff here. I learned a multitude of skills that are helpful and now lead a less stressful life. I appreciate being challenged as well as being taken outside my comfort zone. I am now more secure with myself and took the time to really self-reflect and explore the emotions that were very hard for me to feel and understand as well as express. I had an awesome therapist and great facilitator. She taught me how to not "catastrophize" things in my life. She also challenged my insecurities by bringing me to difficult realizations that ultimately allowed me to grow as a person."
You all do a great job, keep it up!
Adult Inpatient

In two weeks she had remarkable progress. She wakes up and wants to live. She said this program "probably saved my life."
Clinician reporting for Patient
The program was great, and I learned a lot.
F.R.S.T. (First Responder Specialized Program)
The staff was very understanding and professional. I have done an IOP for alcohol and an inpatient, this program far exceeded the treatment from my previous experiences and has given me great tools to recover and manage my depression and anxiety
Adult Outpatient Programs
I feel compelled to reach out and express to you how amazing your Outpatient, Partial Hospitalization Program team is. I simply do not have the vocabulary to adequately give props to Shana, Lori, Christina, Sha, Tamika, Julia, Lynn, Shannon, Becca, and Dr. Marks, These folks will forever have a special place in our hearts. My daughter has been in many programs across the country, - residential, numerous impatient, and myriad partial hospitalization programs - with no success. We left Texas and came to your PHP program in June, and she is doing amazingly better - far better than I could have ever even dreamed of in the dark dark days of the last year. Anna is finally invested in her own recovery, she is communicating, she is working hard to avoid self-harming, and she is actually smiling and happy. This amazing progress is due only to your staff, with their patience, kindness, understanding, knowledge and commitment to helping kiddos. We are so intensely blessed to have found your program, and I am so thankful that Westborough is also starting an IOP that Anna will transition into. Thank you for putting such a wonderful program and group of people together. I truly believe that Westborough's team has saved my daughter's life, and I will forever be grateful for the many souls at Westborough who have so lovingly impacted her (and me).

I Was Here For 2 Weeks Had Fun In Gym The SNU Unit Is Where I Was I'm Glad I Got The Treatment I Need And Can't Thank You Enough For All Your Help On Getting My Life Back Together
Patient on Special Needs Unit
I waited too long to ask for help because I was afraid of the negative stigma attached to mental health. If this is something you are concerned about, please learn from my mistake. Get the help you need and take good care of YOU. I found safety and understanding with all of the people I met, across staff and peers. Thank you ALL. I couldn't have done it without you. Mental health goes hand in hand with physical health, and EVERYONE deserves to feel strong and healthy. Be well and remember to give yourself grace and lots of love when you are practicing what you learn. ❤
