Recovery can feel isolating; our residential mental health treatment can provide cohesive care plans to help you or your loved one as you move forward.

Anxiety Treatment

Men facing anxiety often benefit from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to challenge negative thought patterns and mindfulness techniques to reduce stress. Our anxiety treatment program helps men develop coping strategies and regain control over their daily lives.

Depression Treatment

Treatment for depression in men typically includes a combination of psychotherapy, such as CBT or interpersonal therapy, and, if necessary, medication management. Our approach focuses on helping men identify triggers, build resilience, and rediscover purpose.

Psychosis Treatment

Men experiencing psychosis are supported through antipsychotic medication and therapies tailored to address delusions or hallucinations. Our psychosis treatment approach emphasizes restoring stability and providing tools to navigate challenges effectively.

Panic Attack Treatment

Panic attacks in men are treated through relaxation techniques, exposure therapy, and medications when needed to manage acute symptoms. Our panic attack program teaches men practical skills to reduce fear and regain confidence in managing triggering situations.

Trauma Treatment

For men recovering from trauma, treatments such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can be transformative. Our care emphasizes creating a safe space where men can process their experiences and rebuild their lives.

PTSD Treatment

Men struggling with PTSD benefit from therapies like prolonged exposure (PE) and trauma-informed CBT to reduce symptoms and process traumatic memories. Our PTSD treatment program equips men with the tools to reclaim their lives and achieve emotional balance.

Bipolar Treatment

Men with bipolar disorder benefit from mood stabilization through medication and therapeutic care to manage triggers and maintain balance. Our bipolar treatment program empowers men to recognize early warning signs and develop strategies for long-term stability.

Paranoia Treatment

Paranoia in men is treated with a combination of antipsychotic medications and cognitive therapies to address distrust and improve interpersonal relationships. We provide a structured environment that helps men feel secure while addressing their concerns.

Our Mental Health Services and Therapy Options

As a resident at our San Juan Capistrano inpatient facility, you will have access to a comprehensive range of mental and behavioral health services. Our evidence-based programs combine cutting-edge clinical interventions with personalized care to support sustainable mental wellness. From individual therapy and group counseling to specialized treatments and modalities, we offer the tools and resources men need to overcome challenges and achieve lasting well-being.

Studies have shown that residential programs can “achieve improvements in recovery from depression, anxiety, wellbeing,” and more.2
We offer specialized in-person treatment options that support individuals in overcoming challenges and enhancing their well-being.

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.3 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.

Group Therapy - Male-Specific Groups

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.4  

Individual Therapy

Our individual therapy sessions for men provide a safe, one-on-one space to explore personal challenges and develop effective coping strategies, utilizing evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). These tailored sessions focus on addressing root causes of mental health concerns and fostering long-term resilience.

EMDR Therapy

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.5

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.
