Specialized Treatment of Mental Health Disorders


Bridges to Recovery offers comprehensive, evidence-based treatment for mood, anxiety, personality, and psychotic disorders. We have the expertise and specialized therapies to treat complex mental health disorders and the damaging behaviors they cause. Combining modern psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, somatic, and holistic therapies, we are able to offer targeted, innovative care to treat the whole person.

Thorough Diagnostic Evaluations and Psychological Testing


Your stay with us begins with a series of assessments designed to provide us insight into your cognitive, emotional, social, and vocational functioning. This level of diagnostic clarity allows us to understand the root of the problems you’ve been experiencing, and design a treatment plan that utilizes the therapies known to be most effective for your unique diagnostic situation.

Highly Respected and Experienced Clinical Team


The Bridges to Recovery team is comprised of some of the best practitioners in the field. Many of our primary therapists have leadership positions at highly regarded institutions, where they are at the forefront of developments in the field.

Upon admission to Bridges to Recovery, you will be matched with a multidisciplinary group of esteemed clinicians who will collaboratively oversee and deliver your personal treatment plan. By combining their talents, we can provide you with the highest standard of care using the most innovative approaches.

A Comfortable Residential Setting


When you step through our doors, you can feel at home. We believe that people engage better in therapeutic work when they are in comfortable, warm surroundings that inspire serenity and introspection. That is why our program is based out of two welcoming, well-appointed homes with all the resources available to attend to your needs on site, located in beautiful Los Angeles neighborhoods.

With a maximum of six clients per residence at a time, you start your healing in an intimate environment with personalized care. You can relax with yoga and massage, enjoy our beautifully landscaped yards and gardens, and savor the meals prepared by our professional chefs. Private suites are available, and we invite pets to stay with you during treatment (a private room is required if you choose to bring a pet), so you can benefit from the support they provide. We welcome visits from family and friends and allow you to keep your laptop and mobile devices to stay in contact with loved ones while you’re away.

Psychiatric Care and Medication


As a licensed residential facility, we are able to provide onsite medication administration and management. Our psychiatrists work with you to develop medication protocols that give you optimal results and the close monitoring our residential setting provides means that we can observe and respond to any issues quickly to fine-tune your treatment.

Quality Residential Treatment for Mental Illness


We deliver the highest quality care using the modern, evidence-based methods, delivered by experienced, compassionate clinicians. Our program provides several individual sessions per week which can include psychotherapy, psychiatry, Somatic Experiencing, along with 2-3 daily therapy groups, and holistic therapies. This intensity means that you can be fully immersed in the work of recovery, gain faster results, and move on to a more fulfilling life.
