The recovery process in treatment can be structured in several ways. At A Mission For Michael, we deliver high-quality virtual therapy programs through a fully online format that’s built around your needs.

This model was designed to serve as a fully-functional healing community that’s intense enough to produce real results, yet flexible to fit around your work, school, and family commitments. One week of virtual-based care delivers around the equivalent of three months of traditional weekly therapy. This ratio reflects our commitment and connection to providing high-quality treatment.

Our virtual services are available to adults over the age of 18, along with adolescents ages 12 through 17, via our dedicated teenager track. Residents of California, Virginia, Washington, and Oregon can all access our programs, with commercial insurance accepted across a mix of in-network and out-of-network options.

Our Approach to Virtual Mental Health Treatment at AMFM Healthcare

We run our virtual programming through our sister company for outpatient-based services, Mission Connection. Telehealth mental health treatment at Mission Connection is built around a wholly considered structure where group therapy, individual sessions, and psychiatric care are all blended in tandem to deliver your unique treatment plan virtually. 

It’s been proven that peer connection accelerates recovery, and the group model creates a consistent therapeutic community even via telehealth.[1] For many clients, our virtual program serves as a step-down from residential care – a way to maintain the intensity of treatment while beginning to re-engage with daily life. For others, it might be the starting point that delivers more support than strictly outpatient, weekly sessions can provide. 

Our virtual therapy sessions for adults treats a broad range of primary mental health conditions, including:

  • Anxiety, 
  • Depression, 
  • Bipolar disorder, 
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), 
  • Schizophrenia, and 
  • Dual diagnosis issues. 

We offer the same evidence-based framework that all our other in-person offerings operate under, giving you the best possible chance at lasting recovery.

What to Expect From Virtual Treatment at AMFM Healthcare

Rest assured that your needs will always be considered and collaboratively planned for in virtual therapy sessions for adults at AMFM Healthcare:

Assessment and Intake

Before your first group, the clinical team will go through a thorough assessment of your mental health history, current symptoms, and goals for treatment. This helps determine which track is the right fit and how individual therapy, psychiatric care, and group programming will be structured around your needs. 

Building Your Schedule

Virtual groups run Monday through Saturday between 6 AM and 8:30 PM PST – a wide enough window to accommodate almost any work or school obligations. You’ll attend three hours of programming per day, three to four days per week, choosing which days and specific groups work for you. As we know life can sometimes get in the way, the days and groups can change based on your availability. 

Engaging in Group and Individual Therapy

The clinical week also combines evidence-based group therapy with dedicated individual counseling sessions. Online DBT and CBT therapy are research-based approaches to your care, along with narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and solutions-focused therapy.[2] 

Additionally, holistic sessions with writing, yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and music are also run alongside our clinical groups and individual sessions for total-person care. 

Psychiatric Care and Medication Management

Virtual psychiatric care services are also integrated into our telehealth offerings, with the clinical team managing any medication-based needs on a biweekly basis to ensure things stay consistent throughout your treatment. 

Family Integration and Online Mental Health Programs

For teen clients, family involvement is included with weekly or biweekly family therapy sessions. Guardians can also attend dedicated virtual mental health support groups for families every other Monday at 5:30 PM.

Program Structure and Weekly Schedule

AMFM Healthcare’s virtual mental health support runs on a schedule designed to be flexible while still delivering you the support you need for continuous growth. 

Groups run six days per week, Monday through Saturday, across a wide, 14-hour window. 

This flexibility means you get to choose the sessions that fit best within your schedule. 

What’s more, no matter where you are in California, Virginia, Washington, or Oregon, the same high-quality treatment offerings are available to you. You’ll receive three hours of structured therapeutic contact per day, multiple times per week. All sessions will involve a community of peers who are also looking to improve their lives and their outlook. 

For families navigating teletherapy for a teenager, the AMFM Healthcare teen track brings the same formatting to an age-appropriate format, along with family integration, so everyone in the home can focus on the healing process. 

During the summer months, however, our teen program adapts its schedule to offer your child specialized Summer Session hours. This framework keeps the clinical structure intact and accommodates the changes in routine and schedule that school break brings.

Most online therapy for mental health provides people with an accessible way to speak to a provider for around an hour per week. At AMFM Healthcare, our virtual programs were built on the recognition that, for many people, more is needed. 

We combine evidence-based therapies, psychiatric care, and holistic practices within a connected treatment model that supports you in every way. We also emphasize community and continuity throughout, as community connection and holistic care are important for treatment success.[3] By attending consistent group therapy, you’ll be part of a supportive environment with others who are working toward similar goals. 

Our programs are also built with flexibility in mind. With multiple weekly sessions, you can receive structured care while still living your life.
