Mental Health Programming

A Mission For Michael (AMFM) has over a decade of experience in the mental health field, offering treatment across the country, with long-term residential mental health facilities in California. AMFM Mental Health Treatment was built on the promise of the highest level of care, connection, and attention, without judgment or shame. People and their human experiences and struggles are at the center of the AMFM philosophy; with personalized care and treatment plans, the AMFM team is prepared to meet the unique needs of each person with qualified professionals and resources. 

Mental Health programming is designed to offer clients therapeutic care, personalized treatment plans, and a structured environment in which they can build coping skills and create a strong foundation in recovery. Some of the mental health programming offered at AMFM Mental Health Treatment Facilities in California include:

Group Therapy

Group therapy sessions can be used to help provide structured times to help you understand that you are not alone in your struggles, that your peers are also walking through these challenges, while also providing guidance, suggestions and communications from psychologists with specialized backgrounds. These groups can span a variety of backgrounds, including but not limited to art therapy, somatic therapy, and narrative therapy.1

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy that’s focused on restructuring and reprogramming maladaptive and negative thought processes. Psychologists are trained to help you change your cognitive and emotional processes in order to outgrow coping mechanisms that may no longer be serving you.2

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is most commonly referred to as “talk therapy,” and is designed to help process emotions. Qualified professionals offer psychological therapy to move forward with healthy ways of engaging in interpersonal relationships and alleviating physical and emotional distress.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)

EMDR Therapy is a renowned method of reprocessing most often used in trauma therapy. By activating the prefrontal cortex through a series of bilateral stimulation, qualified professionals can lead you through traumatic experiences, helping you to alleviate the distress symptomized by trauma.3

Crisis Intervention and Stabilization Services

A crisis is defined by the National Library of Medicine “as an overwhelming event, which can include divorce, violence, the passing of a loved one, or the discovery of a serious illness.”4 The goal of crisis intervention is to provide safety and reduce any potential harm to an individual undergoing a crisis.

Lengths of Stay

Short-Term Treatment Plans

A short-term residential stay is considered under 30 days of inpatient treatment. Short-term mental health facility programming offers safety to those who may be experiencing acute symptoms, or who may require crisis intervention or stabilization. 

Long-term Treatment Plans

A long-term residential stay is considered over 30 days of inpatient treatment. Long-term mental health programming offers a more controlled environment and extensive care in the face of greater mental health challenges. Extended inpatient care helps create lasting well-being and aftercare beyond a quick reset. 

If you or a loved one is struggling, considering mental health treatment in California could be the first step to a higher quality of life, for the rest of your life. You don’t have to go through this alone, we’re here to help.
