Bridges to Recovery
From alternatives to psychiatric hospitalization to life enrichment and enhancement
With locations in Pacific Palisades and Santa Monica, California, Bridges to Recovery specializes in the treatment of mental health issues such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and trauma based disorders (such as social phobias, PTSD, and Dissociative Identity Disorder), chronic pain, relationship issues, and personality disorders. We also offer resources for clients to explore various ways to accomplish difficult developmental transitions, establish healthy life patterns, and enhance their sense of well-being. Our interventions are based on a whole-person care model of emotional, physical, and spiritual health.
We recognize that many individuals experience problems with substance abuse or dependence in addition to mental health issues and difficult transitions, often as a result of attempts to cope with what is going on in their lives. Unlike some other programs that emphasize treatment of chemical dependency, the focus of Bridges to Recovery is to address the primary underlying issues, while providing therapeutic and psychosocial support for sobriety and personal growth.
Bridges to Recovery offers a full continuum of care with a comprehensive series of programs committed to help those suffering from psychological problems as well as those simply wanting to enrich and enhance their lives. Our commitment is to assist our clients develop carefully constructed "road maps" for healthier and more productive lives. Our clients do not discharge from any of our programs without a solid sense of their next goals and the resources that they may access to achieve them.
Our Primary Residential offers a secure, comfortable, fully staffed treatment environment to those dealing with complex psychological issues. Licensed by the State of California, our facilities offer an alternative to psychiatric hospitalization with the amenities of home in a therapeutic and holistic context.
Our Independent Living Intensive Outpatient Treatment offers our clients an intensive treatment experience in our outpatient offices and a staffed, supportive living environment. The program provides a first time therapeutic experience for some, a transition from a higher level of care for others, or a transition from a different treatment focus (e.g., substance abuse treatment). Because the program is designed to offer clients more independence than our Primary Residential program, individuals must meet admission criteria for this program.
Our Outpatient Assessment and Treatment Services offers a comprehensive assessment service and a full array of individual, couples, family, and group treatments and psycho-education resources conducted in our outpatient clinic.
Our interdisciplinary treatment staff is highly qualified, dedicated and experienced.. All of our psychotherapists are licensed in California. Our treatment approaches include individual psychotherapy, EMDR, somatic experiencing, dialectic behavior therapy (DBT) skills, equine therapy, music therapy, art therapy, yoga, physical fitness, nutritional counseling, vocational/educational counseling, and others.
