Healing for Women Recovering From Trauma
Villa Kali Ma focuses on addressing trauma and the other emotional roots of addiction. Clients receive multiple individual therapy sessions weekly, including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectic behavior therapy (DBT), and somatic therapy. These therapies not only address psychological trauma but also can help in building emotional resilience and fostering healthy relationships.
A Restorative, Homelike Setting
The facility includes multiple Carlsbad hillside residences, each designed to feel safe, peaceful, and noninstitutional. Clients stay in shared rooms with ensuite bathrooms surrounded by a vegetable garden, labyrinth, and outdoor areas that support rest and relaxation. These physical comforts aren’t just amenities; they support nervous system regulation and emotional healing.
Integrating Body and Spirit
Healing at Villa Kali Ma involves the whole self. Yoga, art therapy, breath work, shamanic healing, meditation, and movement therapy are central to the programming. These practices — along with other offerings like support groups and life skills workshops — foster greater self-knowledge and confidence.
Meaningful Weekends and Evenings
Programming continues through evenings and weekends with activities like journaling, movie nights, community meals, and creative expression. Rather than being unstructured downtime, these hours are intentionally designed for rest and relaxation, community building, and peer bonding — which is especially critical for women relearning safety in relationships.
A Continuum of Care That Supports Real-World Transitions
Villa Kali Ma offers both short-term and long-term (90-day) residential care. This allows women to progress through treatment at their own pace while remaining in a consistent therapeutic framework. Alumni support — including online groups and events — helps extend clients’ progress beyond their time at the villa.
What Patients Say
Clients describe their experience at Villa Kali Ma as transformative. Many say it was the first place they felt truly safe to do the work of recovery. The environment, the staff, and the community are often cited as an inspiration not just in clients’ sobriety but in rebuilding the lives they want to live.
