Our expert team of psychiatrists, psychologists, and licensed clinicians employs evidence-based practices that focus on healing the whole person through therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care. Studies have shown that residential programming can “achieve improvements in recovery from depression, anxiety, wellbeing,” and more.2

Our residential mental health services in Carlsbad, CA include:

  • Individuals receive 2 therapy sessions per week
  • Family therapy sessions are held weekly (if deemed clinically appropriate).
  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is available if clinically indicated.
  • Psychiatric Evaluation
  • Common Behavioral Therapies like DBT and CBT
  • Medication monitoring and Psychoeducation 

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

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.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (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.4

Group Therapy

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 

Individual Therapy

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.

Holistic Therapies

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.

Family Therapy

Mental health treatment programs usually offer virtual family support groups and resources for family members on a regular basis. At AMFM, we know that healing and growing can take a village, and you and your loved ones are in good hands.
