Boutique Residential Care in a Coastal Home

Located in a modern, upscale residence in Carlsbad, the facility provides a calm and private setting for adults seeking mental health treatment. The facility is intentionally small, serving just six residents at a time, which allows for greater therapeutic engagement and a strong sense of safety. Shared spaces, chef-prepared meals, and welcoming design features help ease the transition into care.

Clinical Expertise for Complex Mental Health Needs

The facility supports adults with a range of diagnoses including depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, and suicidality. Care is led by an on-site psychiatric team, with all staff trained through the BECK institute, and includes regular individual therapy sessions, medication management, and evidence-based treatments such as recovery-oriented cognitive therapy (CT-R) and more. With a 3:1 staff-to-client ratio, the program offers intensive, one-on-one support throughout the treatment stay.

Whole-Person Healing Through Holistic Services

The program integrates holistic and experiential therapies designed to complement clinical care. Residents have access to somatic therapy, yoga, mindfulness, and meditation practices that support nervous system regulation and stress relief. Recreational activities, including fitness instruction and outdoor outings, are also incorporated to encourage movement, routine, and joy in recovery.

Connection to Life After Treatment

AMFM emphasizes transition planning from the start of treatment. Residents collaborate with staff to create individualized aftercare plans that may include step-down care, outpatient therapy, peer support, and community-based services. The facility's integrated model aims to build a stable foundation not just during treatment, but well beyond discharge.

What Clients Say

Client reviews consistently highlight the facility’s intimate feel and the attentiveness of the staff. Many speak to the clarity they gained in treatment, the warmth of the team, and the quality of the therapeutic experience. Meals are frequently praised, and several clients describe AMFM as a place where they finally felt seen and supported in their recovery.
