What Makes Amend Treatment Different From Traditional Mental Health Care

Amend Treatment offers a clinically focused residential program that combines evidence-based care, whole-person support, and a luxury environment designed to help adults engage deeply in treatment.

Our team brings over 100 years of combined clinical experience and works under the guidance of an experienced lead psychiatrist. We begin with a deep assessment process that may include psychological testing, psychiatric evaluation, and a full biopsychosocial review. From there, we build a custom treatment plan around six key wellness domains:

Emotional health
Physical health
Family dynamics
Social integration
Spiritual alignment
Professional and academic well-being

This approach recognizes that mental health does not exist in isolation. Depression, anxiety, trauma, mood instability, and emotional dysregulation can affect the body, relationships, work, sleep, identity, and daily functioning. Effective care should reflect that complexity.

Conditions We Treat for Pasadena-Area Clients

Amend Treatment supports adults with a wide range of complex mental health concerns. Many clients come to us after outpatient therapy has not been enough, after symptoms have escalated, or after they realize they need a more immersive treatment setting.

We commonly treat:

Major depressive disorder and other mood disorders
Generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder
PTSD and complex trauma
Bipolar disorder
Personality disorders
Eating disorders
Emotional dysregulation and interpersonal challenges
Insomnia and chronic sleep disruption
Co-occurring mental and substance use disorders
Co-occurring mental health and behavioral concerns

Treatment focuses on helping clients stabilize symptoms, understand patterns, build emotional regulation skills, and reconnect with a sense of agency in their lives. Our team doesn’t reduce you to a diagnosis. We look at the whole person, including history, strengths, relationships, identity, stressors, and future goals.

Our Program

Therapies and Modalities Available at Amend Treatment

Every client’s plan at Amend Treatment is personalized. Some clients need trauma-focused therapy. Others need support with mood stabilization, nervous system regulation, relationship patterns, or daily functioning. Many need a combination of clinical, experiential, and wellness-based care.

Your treatment plan may include:

EMDR therapy: EMDR can support clients working through trauma, childhood emotional injuries, and distressing memories that contribute to anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder.
Somatic and experiential therapies: These approaches help clients reconnect with the body, process emotions, and build greater awareness of how stress and trauma show up physically.
Neurofeedback and Alpha-Stim: Amend Treatment uses advanced tools that support brain regulation, symptom reduction, and neuroplasticity as part of a broader clinical plan.
Medication management: Psychiatric support can help clients better understand medication options, stabilize symptoms, and make informed decisions about ongoing care.
Family therapy: When appropriate, family therapy can help improve communication, support repair, and prepare loved ones to better understand the client’s needs after treatment.
Holistic wellness support: Nutritional assessment, yoga, acupuncture, bodywork, and stress management techniques may help clients support mental, emotional, and physical health during treatment.

This blend of modalities helps clients do more than manage symptoms. It helps them build insight, practice new skills, and create conditions for sustainable change.

Our Treatment Program

Continuing Care After Residential Treatment

Residential treatment is an important chapter, but long-term healing continues after discharge. Amend Treatment begins continuing care planning before clients leave our Malibu program so that they can transition with more structure and support.

Our clinical team works with each client to develop an aftercare plan that may include outpatient therapy, psychiatry, family support, wellness practices, peer support, or step-down care. For some clients, Amend Treatment’s virtual intensive outpatient program may offer continued support after residential treatment.

Our Virtual IOP provides structured online mental health care over 12 to 16 weeks. The program includes two weekly four-hour clinician-led group sessions, individual or family sessions when appropriate, targeted therapies such as EMDR or skills-focused support, and a low 12:1 client-to-provider ratio. This option may help clients reinforce their progress as they return to daily life with continued clinical guidance.

Traveling from Pasadena

Why Pasadena Residents May Travel to Malibu for Treatment

While Amend Treatment is not located directly in Pasadena, our residential programs are based in Malibu, roughly 40 to 50 miles away, depending on traffic and route. This distance gives clients meaningful space from daily stressors while keeping treatment accessible to loved ones and support systems in the San Gabriel Valley.

For many clients, leaving their usual environment is an important part of the healing process. A private residential setting can make it easier to step away from work pressure, family stress, old routines, or emotional triggers and focus fully on treatment.

Pasadena-area clients may choose Amend Treatment for:

A calm, luxury environment outside the city
Daily clinical support and psychiatric care
Greater privacy during treatment
Space to stabilize away from everyday demands
Access to trauma-informed, evidence-based, and holistic therapies

The goal is not simply to leave Pasadena. It is to enter a setting where recovery can become the central focus.

Stories of Success and Recovery

Our client testimonials offer a window into the real-life impact of treatment at Amend Malibu. Our clients share what it’s like to engage in the process, build trust with our providers, and see the potential for meaningful change.

Anna H.

A small community in Malibu, this is a group of individuals dedicated to making a difference in patient lives. Each touch point from admissions to specialists, the clinicians, the kitchen, to the clinical assistants you are handled with love and support. Managing two decades of treatment resistant depression and working through burnout from an intense performance based career, I needed a place to get grounded as well as inundate myself with professionals who could help.

Marlon R.

Absolutely stunning properties in a prime yet private location. The treatment environment matters and I was highly impressed. The care environment was clean and organized. The staff were friendly and dressed professionally. The chefs were cordial and accommodating. There was easy access to many tranquil activities as well as fitness activities. The frequency of the individual therapy session was top notch up to 4 times a week plus weekly virtual visits with psychiatry and psychological testing. This type of clinical focus is rare. This is a great example of premium treatment.

Goli S.

I helped facilitate care for a dear friend at Amend. I was skeptical about any mental health program, but was blown away by the level of care at the facility. The whole team went above and beyond to ensure comfort and the best level of care in a way that is indescribable. I really do not have anything negative to say. Every aspect of the program and facility is 100/10. I would highly recommend Amend to anyone struggling with mental health.
