Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your teen, or a loved one, Altura is here to guide you on the path to healing, growth, and long-term well-being. Our mission is simple yet profound: to empower individuals to overcome mental health challenges by offering personalized, holistic treatment that not only addresses symptoms but fosters emotional, mental, and physical resilience. Whether you’re experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or co-occurring substance use disorders, our team of dedicated clinicians provides a safe and supportive environment for recovery. Every individual is different, and so are their treatment needs, which is why our care plans are highly customized to ensure each person receives the right level of care. Why Altura Mental Health? Altura is more than just a mental health provider; we are partners in your healing journey. Here’s why we stand out as a trusted leader in mental health care: Personalized, Holistic Approach: We see beyond the symptoms. Our treatment plans are uniquely tailored to each individual, addressing the mental, emotional, physical, and social aspects of well-being to ensure comprehensive, lasting recovery. Compassionate, Experienced Clinicians: Our team is composed of licensed therapists, psychiatrists, and healthcare professionals with decades of experience. Each clinician at Altura is not only highly skilled but deeply invested in the well-being of every client they serve. Proven, Evidence-Based Therapies: Altura combines time-tested therapeutic approaches with cutting-edge research to offer the most effective care possible. Our modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), among others. Accessible, Flexible Care Options: Whether in-person or virtual, we ensure that mental health care is available to you wherever you are. Our Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (VIOP) makes therapy accessible throughout California, allowing individuals to receive top-tier care from the comfort of their homes. Supportive Environment at Every Stage: From crisis intervention and stabilization to long-term outpatient care, we meet clients where they are, supporting them through every step of their mental health journey. Whether you’re seeking a structured, intensive program or transitioning to outpatient support, Altura is committed to helping you achieve sustained recovery. Our Programs: A Full Continuum of Care We understand that everyone’s mental health journey is unique. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of treatment programs that meet you where you are—whether you need intensive support or a flexible outpatient option. Altura’s programs are designed to adapt to your evolving needs, ensuring continuity of care that is as effective as it is compassionate. Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides structured therapeutic care for individuals who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy but do not require 24-hour residential treatment. This program offers three to five days of therapy per week, including individual therapy, group sessions, and psychiatric care. Our IOP helps clients address mental health challenges while maintaining their daily responsibilities such as work, school, and family life. Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (VIOP): For clients who prefer or need the flexibility of remote care, our Virtual IOP offers the same intensive support as our in-person program but through secure, interactive online therapy sessions. Available to individuals across California, the Virtual IOP is an excellent option for those balancing work, education, or other commitments who still require a higher level of care. Clients engage in individual and group therapies and receive consistent psychiatric care, all while enjoying the flexibility of attending sessions from home. Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): Altura’s Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers an even more intensive treatment plan, with full-day therapy sessions five days a week. PHP is ideal for individuals experiencing significant mental health challenges who need a higher level of care but do not require full-time inpatient hospitalization. This program focuses on stabilization and recovery through a mix of therapeutic modalities, including individual and group therapy, skill-building sessions, and psychiatric treatment. PHP is often the next step for individuals transitioning from inpatient care or those needing more structure in their outpatient treatment. Crisis Intervention and Stabilization: In times of crisis, immediate care is critical. Altura offers Crisis Intervention and Stabilization services for individuals experiencing acute mental health crises, including suicidal ideation, severe anxiety, panic attacks, or other urgent mental health issues. Our crisis team works swiftly to stabilize symptoms and provide immediate, short-term care while determining the best course of action for long-term recovery. We ensure that every individual receives the support they need, whether that involves transitioning into one of our intensive programs or other levels of care. Specialized Programs for Every Stage of Life We understand that mental health challenges affect people at all stages of life, and our tailored programs reflect that. At Altura, we offer specialized services for adolescents, teens, transitional-aged youth, and adults, ensuring that each client receives age-appropriate care to address their unique challenges. Adolescent and Teen Program (Ages 12-18): The teenage years are a critical time of development and change, often accompanied by stress, anxiety, social pressures, and academic challenges. Our Adolescent and Teen Program offers a safe, nurturing environment where teens can explore their emotions, process stressors, and develop positive coping strategies. Through individual therapy, family therapy, and group sessions, we help teens navigate common mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and identity struggles, equipping them with the tools they need for a healthy, fulfilling future. Transitional-Aged Youth Program (Ages 18-21): Young adults face significant life transitions—entering adulthood, managing new responsibilities, and making critical decisions about their future. Our Transitional-Aged Youth (TAY) Program is designed to support young adults in navigating these transitions. This program focuses on developing life skills, building emotional resilience, and addressing anxiety, depression, social isolation, and stress related to career, education, or relationships. With a blend of individual and group therapy, our TAY program empowers young adults to thrive as they move toward independence. Adult Mental Health Program (Ages 22+): For adults balancing work, relationships, family, and personal well-being, life can sometimes become overwhelming. Our Adult Mental Health Program is designed to support individuals dealing with a wide range of mental health challenges, including trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. We offer personalized treatment plans that integrate individual therapy, psychiatric care, and wellness services, helping adults build resilience and develop strategies for long-term mental health and well-being. Trauma-Informed Care: Healing Through Compassion and Evidence-Based Treatment At Altura, we recognize that trauma can deeply impact every aspect of a person’s life. Our Trauma-Informed Care approach is designed to help individuals heal from the emotional and psychological effects of trauma in a safe, supportive environment. We use cutting-edge, evidence-based treatments such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to help clients process and overcome traumatic experiences. Whether you are recovering from childhood trauma, a recent traumatic event, or complex PTSD, we are here to support your healing journey with compassion and expertise. Family and Group Therapy: Strengthening Connections for Recovery Mental health challenges often affect not only the individual but their loved ones as well. At Altura, we offer Family Therapy and Multi-Family Therapy sessions to help families communicate more effectively, resolve conflicts, and provide support for their loved ones. These sessions encourage family members to play an active role in the healing process, fostering stronger, healthier relationships that promote long-term recovery. In addition to family support, Altura offers Group Therapy programs that provide clients with a sense of community and shared understanding. Our therapist-led groups cover topics such as emotion regulation, self-esteem, coping skills, and relationship dynamics, giving clients the opportunity to connect with peers, share experiences, and learn valuable life skills in a supportive, group setting. Holistic Wellness: Nurturing the Mind, Body, and Spirit At Altura, we believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms of mental illness. Our holistic approach incorporates therapeutic activities that nurture emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, complementing traditional therapy modalities. Some of our wellness-enhancing services include: Fitness Programs: Regular physical activity is essential for maintaining mental and physical health. We integrate fitness and wellness activities into our treatment plans to help clients achieve balance and improve their overall well-being. Art and Music Therapy: Expressive therapies such as art and music therapy allow individuals to explore emotions, process trauma, and express themselves in creative, non-verbal ways. These therapeutic activities foster emotional healing and personal growth. Therapeutic Gardening and Nature-Based Therapies: Spending time in nature has been shown to reduce stress and improve mental health. We offer therapeutic gardening and nature-based therapies like beach walks, helping clients reconnect with the world around them and experience a sense of peace and mindfulness.
