Visions Treatment Centers Los Angeles

Since 2002, the founders of Visions Treatment Center, Chris and Amanda Shumow, have advocated for the client’s family and their involvement and support from the beginning in the treatment process. They help treat teens struggling with mental health issues and co-occurring disorders. Since opening its doors, Visions Treatment Centers have maintained their original founding clinicians while adding additional team members as they have grown. In treatment, adolescents need to be approached differently than adults because they are still developing their emotional and environmental understanding. They always approach each case holistically and conduct psychological and diagnostic testing and evaluations to best serve each client. Visions Adolescent Treatment Center has Joint Commission accreditation and is part of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Visions offers a mixture of holistic approaches, experiential therapies, and evidence-based treatment modalities. Some examples of these individual and group therapies include dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), family therapy, and social & emotional development. Visions Treatment Center has locations all throughout Southern California, including in Malibu, Thousand Oaks, and Santa Monica. Their Los Angeles outpatient location has day school to help teens succeed academically while addressing mental health or substance use concerns. Parents and teens are encouraged to visit each facility and learn more about their dual diagnosis and teen mental health treatment programs. The residential properties accommodate the teens with shared gender-specific rooms and housing.
