Our Mental Health Treatments
Because we work with individuals facing many different challenges, Our San Diego rehab facility has built a care model that’s both adaptable and comprehensive. You can feel confident knowing we have the tools, experience, and compassion to support your unique needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Outpatient CBT therapy helps individuals recognize and change negative thought patterns that contribute to conditions like depression, anxiety, OCD, and PTSD. By addressing these distorted ways of thinking, it supports the development of healthier coping mechanisms and behaviors—leading to greater confidence and an improved quality of life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
For individuals who struggle with intense emotions and difficulty regulating them, Dialectical Behavior Therapy can be highly effective. This form of talk therapy is often recommended for conditions such as borderline personality disorder and self-harming behaviors.
Dual Diagnosis
Mental health challenges and substance use often coexist. Our dual diagnosis outpatient treatment offers integrated care that blends evidence‑based therapies, medication management, and targeted interventions to treat co‑occurring disorders holistically.
Individual &, Group Therapy
Structured, evidence-based sessions give individuals a safe space to explore challenges, build coping skills, and connect with others on a similar path to healing.
Family Therapy
Mental health challenges often affect not just the individual, but their loved ones as well. Involving family in the therapeutic process strengthens real-life connections and fosters deeper, long-term healing for everyone involved.
Anger Management & Emotional Regulation Groups
Designed for those facing intense emotions and impulsive behaviors, these groups teach healthier ways to manage feelings and reactions.
Thought Disorder Stabilization (e.g., Schizophrenia Spectrum)
Focused care to help individuals manage symptoms of thought disorders like schizophrenia, promoting stability and improved daily functioning.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
This is a type of mediation therapy helpful for anxiety, stress, and relapse prevention. MBSR focuses on changing your relationship with stress so you can experience more focus, energy, and improve the way you experience difficult situations.
Grief & Loss Therapy
Supports individuals navigating the pain of loss, helping them find healing and meaning through the grieving process.
Art & Expressive Therapies
Creative expression can reveal what words can’t. These therapies offer an alternative path to healing by helping individuals process emotions and experiences through art.
Self-Harm and Suicide Risk Reduction Plans
Personalized strategies aimed at reducing harmful behaviors and promoting safety, resilience, and hope for those at risk.
Our Levels of Care
Following your initial assessment, we’ll match you with the level of care that aligns with your mental health needs. As you move forward, our team will continue to evaluate your progress and recommend changes to your care plan, ensuring consistent, tailored support every step of the way.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
At the highest level of outpatient mental health care, PHPs are ideal for individuals who need more support than traditional outpatient treatment but don’t require inpatient hospitalization. This level of care involves attending structured therapy and therapeutic activities for 5–6 hours a day, about 5 days a week. Partial hospitalization for mental illness is designed to help stabilize acute symptoms, develop emotional regulation, and build routines that promote long-term wellness.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
IOPs provide a structured, supportive environment for individuals managing mental health challenges while maintaining daily responsibilities. Clients typically attend therapy for about 3 hours a day, 3 to 5 days a week. This treatment level helps build coping skills, increase emotional awareness, and address symptoms through consistent therapy.
Outpatient/Step-down Services (OP/NOP)
Standard outpatient care is suited for those who are transitioning from a higher level of treatment or need ongoing therapeutic support. These weekly or biweekly sessions allow individuals to continue working through anxiety, depression, trauma, or other conditions while maintaining stability. The focus is on managing symptoms, preventing setbacks, and strengthening the progress made in earlier stages of care.
Telehealth Options
Mental health support should be accessible no matter where you are. Our telehealth services offer virtual therapy and medication management, making it easier to stay consistent with treatment.
