Doctorate Level Primary Therapy
Unparalleled Expertise and Individualized Care
At Seasons in Malibu, we believe that exceptional outcomes require exceptional expertise. That’s why every client works primarily with therapists who hold Doctorate degrees in psychology or related fields from prestigious universities. This level of clinical sophistication sets us apart from other treatment centers and ensures that you receive the most advanced, evidence-based care available.
Our clients receive up to 65 one-on-one therapy sessions per month with their primary therapist. This intensive, individualized approach allows for deep therapeutic work that simply isn’t possible in programs offering only a few sessions per week. Your primary therapist becomes your partner in recovery, developing an in-depth understanding of your unique history, challenges, and goals.
The Seasons Difference
While many treatment centers employ counselors with bachelor’s degrees or limited clinical training, our team of 30+ therapists represents the highest level of professional achievement in the mental health field. Our doctoral-level clinicians bring years of specialized training in addiction treatment, trauma therapy, and evidence-based modalities that have been proven effective through rigorous research.
This expertise matters. Addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders are complex conditions that require sophisticated clinical assessment and treatment planning. Our therapists don’t rely on one-size-fits-all approaches. Instead, they draw from extensive training in multiple therapeutic modalities to create truly personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs.
Your treatment may include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change destructive thought patterns
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation and distress tolerance
- Trauma-focused therapies including EMDR, Brainspotting, and somatic approaches
- Psychodynamic therapy to explore underlying psychological factors
- Motivational interviewing and relapse prevention strategies
- Family systems therapy to address relationship dynamics
Comprehensive, Collaborative Care
Your primary therapist leads your treatment team but doesn’t work in isolation. They collaborate with our psychiatrists, medical staff, and other specialists to ensure every aspect of your care is coordinated and comprehensive. This integrated approach addresses not just your addiction or primary diagnosis, but the full spectrum of factors affecting your mental health and wellbeing.
The therapeutic relationship itself is a powerful catalyst for change. With consistent, frequent sessions with the same highly trained clinician, you develop the trust and rapport necessary for genuine transformation. This continuity of care allows your therapist to track your progress closely, adjust treatment strategies as needed, and provide the consistent support that’s essential for lasting recovery.
Recovery is not a linear process, and having a doctoral-level expert guiding you through the inevitable challenges makes all the difference between temporary improvement and life-changing transformation.
