About Amend Mental Health Treatment

Amend Mental Health Treatment offers upscale residential care that reimagines mental health treatment through advanced clinical expertise and a deeply individualized approach—supported by a full co

continuum of services that includes a virtual intensive outpatient program. Amend serves adults of all ages and genders experiencing complex trauma, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, and personality disorders. With private suites, gourmet dining, and holistic wellness amenities, Amend provides a serene environment where clients can pursue lasting healing and meaningful transformation.

Experience a Comprehensive, Integrated Path to Healing

Amend combines proven, evidence-based therapies with innovative and holistic modalities to support clients across emotional, physical, familial, social, and spiritual dimensions. Treatment offerings range from relaxation techniques—such as massage and meditation—to advanced options like ketamine-assisted therapy and deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (Deep TMS). Clients also engage in somatic and experiential therapies designed to help them reconnect with their bodies and inner experiences. Skilled practitioners lead diverse modalities including art therapy, sound healing, music therapy, equine therapy, dance/movement therapy, and personal training.

Receive Care from Skilled, Attentive Clinicians

Amend’s multidisciplinary team includes a psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, nurse, nutritionist, fitness coach, acupuncturist, and dedicated support staff. Together, they address both the visible and less apparent factors that contribute to mental and behavioral health challenges. Each client is supported by a team of three dedicated clinicians and receives five individual therapy sessions per week, along with weekly psychiatric consultations.

Heal in a Setting Designed for Comfort and Focus

Located just a short walk from the Pacific Ocean, Amend offers a peaceful, home-like environment free from outside distractions, allowing clients to fully focus on their well-being. The three-story residence features elegantly furnished bedrooms with private indoor–outdoor access, a pool, and inviting lounge areas. Clients relax in naturally lit living and dining spaces, enjoy nutritious meals prepared by an in-house chef, and work with personal trainers to achieve fitness goals. Recreational amenities—including tennis, pickleball, and basketball—provide opportunities for active engagement and leisure.
