About Visions Adolescent Treatment
Specialized Adolescent Programs
Since 2002, the founders of Visions Adolescent Treatment Center Chris and Amanda Shumow have been advocates for the client’s family and their involvement and support from the beginning in the treatment process. They help treat teens struggling with mental health issues and co-occurring disorders. Since opening its doors, Visions Treatment Centers have maintained their original founding clinicians while adding additional team members as they have grown. In treatment, adolescents need to be approached differently than adults because they are still developing their emotional and environmental understanding. They always approach each case holistically and conduct psychological and diagnostic testing and evaluations to best serve each client. Visions Adolescent Treatment Center has Joint Commission accreditation and is part of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Visions offers a mixture of holistic approaches, experiential therapies, and evidence-based treatment modalities. Some examples of these therapies include Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Individual & Group Therapy, Family Therapy, and Social & Emotional development.
Numerous Locations in California
Visions Adolescent Treatment Center has locations all throughout Southern California, including in Malibu, Thousand Oaks, and Santa Monica. Each location has a specialization and a different set of programs. Parents and teens are encouraged to visit each facility and learn more about their dual diagnosis and teen mental health treatment programs. The residential properties accommodate the teens with shared gender-specific rooms and housing.
