Our Focus at Amend Treatment in Los Angeles
At Amend Treatment, our primary commitment is to assist you in achieving and maintaining your mental health and emotional well-being. Our facility is staffed with a compassionate and dedicated team of licensed therapists, counselors, and support personnel, all coordinated under the guidance of an experienced lead psychiatrist. This collaborative care team is devoted to walking alongside you throughout your healing journey, ensuring you have access to the necessary resources and support to initiate recovery, harness your inherent strengths, and ultimately regain control over your life.
Upon admission, each client undergoes a thorough and insightful assessment, which serves as the foundation for understanding individual needs and tailoring treatment goals. This initial process culminates in the formulation of a personalized four-week treatment plan designed to address specific challenges and foster growth. Following this, you will participate in daily therapy sessions, featuring both one-on-one counseling and group therapy experiences. Our approach utilizes cutting-edge, evidence-based treatment methods that emphasize measurable results and aim to deliver the most favorable outcomes.
What sets Amend Treatment apart from traditional residential mental health treatment programs is our holistic integration of somatic experiencing and experiential therapies. These approaches are particularly beneficial for individuals grappling with complex trauma and a range of mental health disorders recognized by the National Institute of Mental Health. We understand that many of our clients may struggle to connect with their own emotional and physical selves. Through innovative therapeutic techniques, we help you tune into your body and mind, facilitating a deeper understanding of your experiences and enhancing your journey toward healing.
