About Amend Treatment

Our Luxurious Residential Care

Redefining Residential Mental Health Care

Amend is redefining what residential mental health treatment looks like. Our singular focus is helping you recover and sustain your mental and emotional well-being. We bring deep expertise and scientific rigor to provide an authoritative new clinical standard of care in an environment that is far from “institutional.”

At Amend, you’ll work with a dedicated team of therapists and staff, guided by a lead psychiatrist. The team is committed in every sense of the word and will be with you every day and every step of the way. This team approach, as well as the professionalism and specialized expertise of each member, is a crucial distinction for Amend.

Since everyone’s path to recovery is unique, we tailor our treatment plans to you. You’ll begin with a comprehensive assessment to help identify the root cause of your symptoms. From there, you’ll have access to the latest in results-focused treatment methods designed to provide the most effective outcomes.

Working with adults of all ages and genders, we treat those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, complex trauma, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and other mental health challenges. We can also accommodate a variety of co-occurring conditions such as substance use and addictions.

Why Amend Treatment?

No one who comes to Amend Treatment will do this work alone. We know the steps to put you on a new path of mental and emotional well-being.

Since mental health disorders affect every part of you, Amend Treatment aims to treat the whole person: mind, body and soul. With a range of therapeutic modalities and mindfulness-based cognitive therapies, you’ll be provided with a treatment plan that supports you and your recovery goals.

Here, you’ll find an atmosphere with a sense of ease and comfort and care. A place that feels like home, a home away, free of the daily distractions and duties of home. Everything has a purpose and is designed to promote feelings of confidence, safety and trust; the necessary conditions for you to do what may be the most difficult work you’ve ever done: to concentrate fully, to work solely, on one’s self.

Amend Treatment aims to treat the whole person: mind, body and soul.

Stories of Success and Recovery

Our client testimonials offer a window into the real-life impact of treatment at Amend Malibu. Our clients share what it’s like to engage in the process, build trust with our providers, and see the potential for meaningful change.

    Anna H.

    A small community in Malibu, this is a group of individuals dedicated to making a difference in patient lives. Each touch point from admissions to specialists, the clinicians, the kitchen, to the clinical assistants you are handled with love and support. Managing two decades of treatment resistant depression and working through burnout from an intense performance based career, I needed a place to get grounded as well as inundate myself with professionals who could help.

      Marlon R.

      Absolutely stunning properties in a prime yet private location. The treatment environment matters and I was highly impressed. The care environment was clean and organized. The staff were friendly and dressed professionally. The chefs were cordial and accommodating. There was easy access to many tranquil activities as well as fitness activities. The frequency of the individual therapy session was top notch up to 4 times a week plus weekly virtual visits with psychiatry and psychological testing. This type of clinical focus is rare. This is a great example of premium treatment.

        Goli S.

        I helped facilitate care for a dear friend at Amend. I was skeptical about any mental health program, but was blown away by the level of care at the facility. The whole team went above and beyond to ensure comfort and the best level of care in a way that is indescribable. I really do not have anything negative to say. Every aspect of the program and facility is 100/10. I would highly recommend Amend to anyone struggling with mental health.
