This spot in Laguna Beach is no longer a treatment center. There are no therapy sessions, groups, or long intake forms.
So what do we do? We help you figure out where to go next—without wasting your time.
Walk in. Sit down with someone who listens. We ask smart questions. You tell us what’s going on. Together, we break it down. What do you need right now? More support? Less structure? A reset?
Once we get the full picture, we line up your next step. PHP? IOP? Somewhere local? Somewhere far? You leave with a real plan—and no confusion. And if you’re not from the area? Chill. We’ve got you. We’ll help you find a solid place to stay while we sort things out.
No guesswork. No pressure. No weird sales pitch.
You get clarity. You get a plan. You move forward.
This place looks like a spa but works like a think tank. There are calm vibes everywhere, and there is a clear focus on you. Walk in, and you’ll see—it’s not a cold, clinical center. It feels like a fresh breath of ocean air.
We have 27 private rooms ready for you. Quiet spaces where you can be yourself without interruptions.
Our team? They care. No stiff white coats. No staring or judging. Just real people who listen and help. We sit down with you, discuss your challenges, and determine the best way forward. Then, you leave with a solid plan, ready for the next step—whether it’s more help or stepping back.
All in a spot where the ocean breeze reminds you that healing doesn’t have to be hard.

We don’t do treatment here anymore. We do something better—we guide you.
If you need a few focused hours of help each week, we send you to IOP. It’s part-time but packed with support.
Need more time and extra care? PHP is your spot. It’s like a full-time workout for your mind—but no overnight stays. We dive into your story: your ups, downs, and everything. Then, we match you with the right program that fits your needs like a glove.
There are no cookie-cutter plans here—just real solutions for real life. And because we know life doesn’t pause, we ensure the path fits your schedule and goals.
Most people do 30 to 60 days. Simple. Solid. Done
No group sessions happen here anymore. No beach yoga or kayak trips. But don’t worry—we won’t leave you hanging. We help you find the right spots that offer those things.
Do you like yoga by the ocean? We know the best instructors nearby. Want group chats or skill-building? We’ve got the hookups.
Whatever feels right for you, we point you to the people who run it well. You get to pick what fits your vibe and needs. No pressure, no stress—just options. Because healing should feel good, not forced.
We don’t run daily schedules here. But the programs we refer to? They’ll have:
Residential means you live at the place. PHP means you go home after each day. It’s six hours a day, six days a week. You get structure without losing freedom.
We’ve got some housing options for folks coming from out of town. You can stay nearby, get your consultation, and then proceed with care.
That’s our job. We ask the right questions, you answer, and we determine whether you need light support or more structure.
None. We don’t treat it here. We refer people with depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, addiction—you name it. We help you find the right place to start getting better.
We value the feedback from our many clients and we are proud of these success stories. Knowing we have made a positive impact on the lives of these individuals and families is most important to us.
