Company Profile
Solara Mental Health
Company Overview
At Solara, ours is a culture of caring, support, comfort. Solara Mental Health was created in direct response to the lack of luxurious, supportive, and accessible treatment available today. We are an entirely unique, in-residence psychiatric treatment program, wherein clients receive care from compassionate, experienced professionals; wherein clients enjoy deluxe accommodations in one of the most picturesque coastal enclaves; and wherein clients really do become the very best version of themselves.
Our Philosophy on Psychiatric Medications
While there is considerable controversy surrounding psychiatric medications, our experience and outcomes indicate that medication can be a vital component of successful treatment for mental illness. That stated, so many clients arrive at our program with multiple, compounding, and even contra-indicated prescribed medications that actually create more problems than they relieve. Therefore, it is imperative that we evaluate and manage every client’s prescriptions. This often involves removing medications that are excessive, inappropriate, or ineffective. After we obtain a clear understanding of the client’s needs, we may prescribe superior medications in the proper dosages. Once medication management is successfully accomplished, the client invariably functions at a considerably higher level, which enables her or him to then focus on other effective treatment options like psycho-therapy, education, and lifestyle modifications, which can be equally as effective as medication, and which can often remove the continuing need for prescriptions.
Our Philosophy on Treatment Modalities
Solara Mental Health, we provide a broad spectrum of therapeutic treatment modalities including traditional, and second and third wave cognitive behavioral therapy, such as dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness based stress reduction, as well as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), among others.
We complement these first line evidence based treatments with psychodynamic therapy, educational therapy, somatic experiencing, sensory motor therapy, and neurofeedback and biofeedback.
We also utilize creative therapies, like drumming, music, drawing, painting, knitting, and others. Physical and body therapies include yoga, meditation, and mindfulness, combined with exercise and nutrition. We believe that providing clients a breadth of therapeutic options and activities allows them to respond and progress with the therapies that ‘speak’ to them and promote maximum healing and wellness, which they can continue to develop over time.
Company History
Since 2004, we have distinguished ourselves as one of the finest behavioral health care programs in the treatment field. From our very beginning, we have effectively combined comprehensive and progressive psychotherapy with the best holistic practices in a safe, respectful, world-class coastal setting.
Our first program, the Eating Disorder Center of Newport Beach, was entirely unique and highly respected for superior treatment and successful outcomes. Building on that success, we soon opened a charming 6-bed residential treatment facility in renowned Laguna Beach. From there, we have methodically expanded over time with multiple facilities in Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, and Pacific Beach, California. Our facilities provide a highly attractive alternative to hospitalization, wherein we provide integrative clinical care in the most private, beautiful, seaside settings.
Today, we welcome clients from all corners of the globe, who seek us out based on our reputation for exceptional treatment, dedicated and respectful staff, and unparalleled accommodations.
