"It's going really well," she told Life & Style magazine at a Golden Globes after-party last weekend. "I'm feeling phenomenal."

The former child actress checked into rehab in early December for reported substance abuse problems, along with other personal issues. Richards' mental health struggles have been featured on the latest season of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."

"She's really strong right now, happy," her sister Kyle Richards told "Extra." "She's looking forward to moving on in her life."
