Just 1 mile off the freeway in Del Mar, Villa Kali Ma treats women facing trauma, addiction, and mental health challenges through outpatient care, including partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient therapy (IOP), and outpatient therapy (OP). Depending on the level of care, women can stay engaged in work, school, or caregiving while building a strong foundation for long-term recovery in a supportive, coastal setting.
Villa Kali Ma’s outpatient programs blend women-centered psychotherapy with practical skills—mindfulness, distress tolerance, safety planning, and setback-prevention strategies—to help clients rewrite old narratives and build strength. Gentle, body-based trauma therapies release burdens carried for years, while creative groups and ancient wisdom practices kindle hope. During treatment, women are supported by a sisterhood of peers and after treatment, they emerge alive and prepared to embrace what comes next.
Women benefit from a vibrant recovery community, shamanic healing and somatic trauma work, and strong aftercare through the Sisterhood Circle Support Group. Alumni join weekly Zoom or in-person meetings, attend special retreats, and receive ongoing check-ins from a dedicated coordinator for at least a year—ensuring especially strong support in the first 90 days. Designed to restore dignity and hope, the program offers deep transformation without stepping away from life’s responsibilities.
