Strengthening authentic connections with self and others—including healing disruptions in the parent-child bond—is at the heart of our treatment approach. Teens in our outpatient and residential programs build self-compassion, resilience, healthy coping skills, and more trusting relationships with parents and peers. Each client’s individualized treatment plan is informed by their specific needs and history and designed by mental health treatment specialists who are the best in their respective fields. Teens are surrounded by 360-degree care, with a team that includes a psychiatrist, individual therapists, family therapists, experiential therapists, and other experts focused on treating underlying issues and external manifestations of mental health conditions. Moreover, our outcomes research sets us apart, continually validating the positive impact of our treatment model despite the increasing acuity of clients’ diagnoses

With 10 beautiful treatment centers from the cliffs of Malibu to the scenic hills of San Rafael, Paradigm provides teens, young adults and their families with Joint Commission-accredited mental health treatment in safe, luxurious, residential settings. We serve individuals between the ages of 12 – 26 who are experiencing moderate to severe mental health issues. Our in-depth processes for assessment, treatment and aftercare are painstakingly developed so as to best meet the unprecedented mental health concerns confronting today’s youth. Utilizing a curated blend of traditional, evidence-based and progressive therapeutic practices, Paradigm works closely with clients and their families to treat issues that include but are not limited to anxiety, depression, grief and loss, mood disorders and trauma. We treat the socio-emotional underpinnings of behaviors rather than simply focusing on behaviors themselves. As such, at Paradigm we do not use point systems, phase systems or other outdated behavior modification or punitive techniques. Rather, our approach focuses on the whole individual, and the unique needs of each and every client and family we serve.
