Our focus is on delivering exceptional care rooted in extensive expertise and scientific methods, ensuring that our clients receive the highest standard of clinical support throughout their journey to recovery.
Our treatment program is offered at our two beautiful Malibu locations, Wildlife House and Portshead House, which is private and equipped with everything our clients need to feel safe and focus on the work necessary to change their lives. Both sites are designed to provide a nurturing and private environment, equipped with all the essential amenities to foster a sense of safety. This serene backdrop allows our clients to fully immerse themselves in the therapeutic process and dedicate their energy to making meaningful changes in their lives.
We are here for you
With over a century of combined clinical experience, our dedicated team understands that each individual is unique, and thus, a custom-tailored approach is vital.

Highest Level of Care
At Amend Treatment, our primary commitment is to assist you in achieving and maintaining your mental health and emotional well-being.

This collaborative care team is devoted to walking alongside you throughout your healing journey, ensuring you have access to the necessary resources and support to initiate recovery, harness your inherent strengths, and ultimately regain control over your life.
Upon admission, each client undergoes a thorough and insightful assessment, which serves as the foundation for understanding individual needs and tailoring treatment goals.

Our approach utilizes cutting-edge, evidence-based treatment methods that emphasize measurable results and aim to deliver the most favorable outcomes.

Helping Clients Everyday
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.
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.
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.
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.
