Gender-Specific Residential Mental Health Care
AMFM serves adult men in a residential setting dedicated to mental health stabilization and recovery. This gender-specific focus allows for a highly structured, peer-based environment where residents engage in tailored support for conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder. The program design helps minimize distractions and fosters openness in therapy, offering a space where residents can relate to one another and focus on healing.
Small Program Size with High Clinical Engagement
The facility maintains a 3:1 staff-to-client ratio. This ensures that residents receive intensive therapeutic attention throughout their stay. With fewer clients per therapist, care is more personalized, and therapeutic relationships can develop more consistently. Led by experienced and certified clinicians, staff bring both clinical skill and compassion. The team is available around the clock, helping to ensure safety, consistency, and a sense of accountability throughout the treatment process. Their commitment to relationship-centered care and individualized support defines the culture of the program.
Trauma-Informed, Evidence-Based Treatment
Treatment combines evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). All care is trauma-informed, meaning that each resident’s experiences are taken into account when designing treatment. Sessions also include expressive arts, psychoeducation, and mindfulness work to support emotional regulation and insight development.
Holistic and Experiential Therapies
The program integrates holistic and experiential options to complement talk therapy. Residents participate in yoga, fitness, and mindfulness sessions throughout the week. Unique offerings such as breathwork, somatic therapy, and bi-monthly equine therapy allow clients to engage body and mind together. Weekly recreational outings, such as beach walks and bowling, are included to support social connection and re-integration into everyday life.
Patient Reviews
Clients frequently highlight the compassion and clinical skill of AMFM staff. Reviews emphasize the program’s tailored approach, safe environment, and supportive peer community, noting that the focused, male-only setting helped them feel understood and respected.
