Our Treatment Methods

ORANGE COUNTY RESIDENTIAL MENTAL HEALTH CARE- INDIVIDUALIZED SUPPORT

Since no two clients are ever alike, we believe the treatment methods used for each client should follow suit. We are an Orange County residential mental health care provider, and we individualize our treatment methodology to cater to the unique conditions of each client using evidence-based methods proven to be the most effective for treating each condition long-term. Research shows us that a combination of individual psychotherapy paired with medication is the most effective route for treating most mental health disorders. This is why we pair both medication management with psychotherapy in our treatment facility. Some of the various psychotherapy orientations we utilize with our clients include: Psychoanalysis and Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, Behavioral Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Integrative or Holistic Therapy
