Treatment For Mental Health In Southern California

At Launch Centers, we understand that mental health treatment is not a one-size-fits-all approach. We recognize that clients come to us with unique experiences, circumstances, and needs. Therefore, we tailor our mental health treatment programs to fit each individual’s requirements to achieve the best possible outcomes. We offer a comprehensive range of psychotherapy and holistic modalities.

These include: 

• Life Skills and Career Development – We believe successful treatment involves more than just addressing the symptoms of mental health conditions. It also involves building our clients’ skills and knowledge to thrive in all aspects of their lives. That’s why we place a strong emphasis on teaching essential life skills that our clients can apply in their personal and professional lives.
• Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – During CBT sessions, individuals work with a behavioral health therapist to identify negative thoughts and beliefs contributing to their symptoms. They then learn techniques to challenge and replace these thoughts with more positive and realistic ones. This process can help individuals to break free from negative patterns of behavior and develop new, healthier coping strategies.
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) developed to help individuals struggling with emotional regulation. DBT focuses on four core areas: mindfulness, stress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. By learning and practicing these skills, individuals can improve their ability to manage emotions, communicate effectively, and cope with difficult situations.
• Experiential Therapy – Experiential therapy is a form of therapy that emphasizes the therapeutic value of experiences. Through mindfulness and healing experiences, individuals can learn to overcome negative thoughts and emotions. Experiential therapy can take many forms, including art therapy, music therapy, and adventure therapy. Overall, experiential therapy aims to create a fun and supportive environment where individuals can explore and work through emotions.
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic technique that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. During EMDR, the therapist guides the client to focus on a traumatic event while using bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, to stimulate both sides of the brain. The goal is to reduce the emotional distress associated with traumatic memories and replace negative beliefs with more positive ones.
• Trauma-Informed Care – Trauma-informed care is an approach that prioritizes understanding and treating the effects of trauma on an individual. This approach recognizes that trauma can affect every aspect of a person’s life and requires a sensitive and supportive response from mental health care professionals. Trauma-informed care aims to create a safe and welcoming environment for those who have experienced trauma by building trust, promoting empowerment, and fostering resilience.
• Emotion-Focused Therapy – Emotion-focused therapy (EFT) is a form of psychotherapy that prioritizes the emotional experiences of individuals. By focusing on the emotions behind a client’s behavior, EFT helps individuals understand their emotions and those of others. EFT also emphasizes the importance of empathy, helping clients connect more deeply with their loved ones. Additionally, EFT can effectively treat various mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and trauma.
• Attachment Theory – Attachment theory is becoming more popular in addiction treatment to address the underlying emotional and psychological issues that often drive addictive behaviors. Research has shown that individuals who struggle with addiction have attachment difficulties, which can stem from early childhood experiences with caregivers. By addressing the root cause of addiction, attachment-based treatment can help individuals overcome their addiction and develop healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
