Joint Commission
Located near Pacific Coast Highway in Laguna Beach, this center offers mental health consultations for individuals navigating conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and co-occurring addiction. While no longer a direct provider of partial hospitalization (PHP) or intensive outpatient program (IOP) care, this location helps clients build a plan for next steps, offering personalized referrals, real insight, and a calm coastal space to start again.
Care begins with a full picture, your goals, needs, and history. The team then recommends tailored programs that blend evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) with holistic options such as mindfulness, yoga, and art therapy. By combining proven science with experiential healing, clients are matched with care that supports emotional wellness and long-term progress.
Clients meet one-on-one with experienced staff who listen first and plan second. They leave with a solid, no-pressure roadmap for care. Amenities include 27 private rooms, quiet planning spaces, and access to local transitional housing. The setting feels more like a retreat than a clinic, reminding clients that healing can start in a place that feels safe, warm, and full of possibility.
