AMFM Mental Health Treatment

AMFM believes in going beyond traditional mental health care, offering a more personal, deeply compassionate healing experience. Their care delivers results: 87% of AMFM clients say they'd recommend the program, according to the company's 2025 outcomes data. That standard shapes the men's residential program in Dana Point, where a maximum of 6 clients receive care for depression, anxiety, trauma, and other primary or co-occurring conditions.

Develop Skills for Long-Term Stability

Men learn to manage anxiety, process trauma, and rebuild daily structure through twice-weekly individual therapy alongside group sessions that include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Weekly psychiatric sessions guide medication management, while weekly art and music therapy, gardening groups, and twice-monthly equine therapy help calm the nervous system between sessions.

Recharge in a Coastal Harbor Retreat

Up to 6 men share double-occupancy bedrooms in AMFM's Crystal Lantern home, each near a private therapy room reserved for one-on-one confidentiality. Weekly gardening groups, nature walks at the Dana Point Nature Interpretive Center, and Saturday outings to Salt Creek Beach keep the days active, rounded out by weekly yoga and fitness at a local wellness center. Private chefs prepare meals that accommodate vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, diabetic, and kosher needs.

Receive Tailored Long-Term Support

Discharge planning starts early in a client's stay, and clinicians can help arrange a step down to outpatient care so the transition home happens gradually rather than all at once. Aftercare plans may also include ongoing support groups, continued therapy check-ins, and medication management, plus family follow-up counseling and alumni events for those who want to stay connected after care ends.
