Whether you are working through mood-related concerns, addressing the impact of trauma, or seeking guidance for other emotional or psychological difficulties, our program is built to empower women with practical coping tools and long-term emotional resilience.
Roughly one in five adults in the United States experiences a mental health condition.¹ Our inpatient services are intentionally structured to support the unique needs of women and female-identifying individuals, offering the clinical resources and therapeutic interventions necessary for meaningful healing. At AMFM Mental Health Treatment, our team is experienced in delivering evidence-based care for numerous conditions, including, but not limited to:
Research indicates that residential mental health programs can lead to significant improvements in symptoms of depression, anxiety, overall well-being, and more.² Healing can sometimes feel lonely, but our Mission Viejo mental health program offers structured, integrated treatment plans to support you or your loved one every step of the way.
We specialize in helping people when anxiety seems to be taking over their lives. Because your experience with anxiety is different from anyone else’s, your anxiety treatment plan should be, too.
For women recovering from trauma, treatments such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can be transformative. Our care emphasizes creating a safe space where women can process their experiences and rebuild their lives.
AMFM Mental Health Treatment provides compassionate and comprehensive care for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). We use evidence-based approaches that are known to effectively treat PTSD and offer an assortment of alternative treatment options to enhance your treatment experience during your stay.
Panic attacks are a sign of underlying issues, not a weakness. They mean that your body is trying to tell you something important about your wellbeing. At AMFM Mental Health Treatment, we invite you to dream bigger than just managing your panic attack symptoms- we want you to rebuild a life filled with confidence and freedom. That’s why our panic attack treatment approach goes beyond immediate relief, focusing on long-term strategies and personal empowerment.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy that’s focused on restructuring and reprogramming maladaptive and negative thought processes3. 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. CBT has been proven to help with increasing mindfulness and emotional well-being for long-term recovery.
DBT, or “talk therapy,” helps process emotions by talking through situations with a qualified individual, in order to move forward with healthier ways of navigating interpersonal relationships, minimizing physical and emotional stress.
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.4
Group therapy sessions can be used to 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.5
Our individual therapy sessions for adults and adolescents provide a safe, one-on-one space to explore personal challenges and develop effective coping strategies, utilizing evidence-based approaches. These tailored sessions focus on addressing root causes of mental health concerns and fostering long-term resilience.
Our inpatient program integrates holistic therapies into our treatment plans to address the mind-body connection, using mindfulness, yoga, meditation, and nutritional guidance. These practices enhance overall well-being and complement evidence-based therapies for comprehensive healing.
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.”6 The goal of crisis intervention is to provide safety and reduce any potential harm to an individual undergoing a crisis.
