Our Approach to Treatment
Addiction and mental health challenges are deeply personal—shaped by your history, your biology, your relationships, and the life you’ve lived. Cookie-cutter treatment doesn’t work because no two people arrive at our door with the same story. At Seasons in Malibu, our approach is built on one simple belief: you deserve care that’s as individual as you are.
Clinical Excellence as the Foundation
We’ve intentionally built a treatment team that operates at the highest level. Our primary therapists hold doctoral degrees in clinical psychology. Our case managers are masters-level clinicians. Our board-certified psychiatrists work hand-in-hand with your therapeutic team. This isn’t an accident—it’s a commitment to providing the caliber of care that complex, co-occurring conditions require.
When you’re working with clinicians who have this depth of training, nothing gets missed. Underlying trauma, undiagnosed mental health conditions, and the subtle patterns that keep people stuck—our team sees the full picture and knows how to address it.
If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction or mental health challenges, we’re here to help. Call us at 424-235-2009 for a confidential consultation.
Integrative, Evidence-Based Care
There’s no single therapy that works for everyone. That’s why we draw from a range of evidence-based and experiential modalities, tailoring your treatment plan to fit your specific needs, history, and goals. Depending on what you’re working through, your care might include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Identifying and reshaping the thought patterns that drive addictive behavior
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Building skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness
- EMDR – Processing trauma and reducing its emotional grip
- Brainspotting – Accessing and releasing trauma stored deep in the brain and body
- Somatic Experiencing – Helping your nervous system complete its natural healing response
- Hypnotherapy – Working with the subconscious to shift deep-rooted patterns
- Family Therapy – Repairing relationships and building a recovery-supportive system
- Equine Therapy – Connecting with horses to build self-awareness and emotional insight
This integrative approach means we’re not limited to one way of working. As you progress and your needs evolve, so does your treatment.
Comprehensive Psychiatric Support
For many clients, addiction is intertwined with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or other mental health conditions. Our psychiatric team provides thorough evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and thoughtful medication management when appropriate—all coordinated seamlessly with your therapy and clinical care. We treat the whole person, not just the addiction.
Medical Detox When Needed
For those who require it, treatment begins with medically supervised detox. Our medical team ensures your safety and comfort as your body clears substances, using evidence-based protocols and 24/7 monitoring. Detox is just the first step, but it’s a critical one—and we make sure it’s handled with the care and expertise it demands.
A Setting Designed for Healing
Our Malibu location isn’t just beautiful—it’s therapeutic. The ocean views, the peaceful environment, the space to breathe and reflect—these elements matter. Healing happens more readily when you feel safe, comfortable, and removed from the chaos of daily life. At Seasons, you’ll have the room to focus entirely on yourself, often for the first time in years.
Continuity of Care
Recovery doesn’t end when you leave treatment. Your masters-level case manager works from day one to build a comprehensive aftercare plan—coordinating with outpatient providers, family members, and community resources to ensure you have the support you need when you return home. We’re invested in your long-term success, not just your time with us.
Your Path Forward
At Seasons in Malibu, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. We believe in meeting you where you are, understanding what you’re carrying, and building a path forward that actually fits your life. Our approach combines clinical rigor with genuine compassion, evidence-based practice with holistic care, and world-class expertise with the warmth and attention of a small, dedicated team.
