Facility Summary:
Canyons is a residential treatment center for girls dealing with trauma and anxiety related disorders. Exclusively for young women between the ages of 12 and 17, Canyons provides a holistic healing environment that is meant to fill a gap for these underserved individuals. Our team feels that treating the underlying conditions of these individuals in a secure, all-girls setting will help clients make the most of our 45-90 day program for primary mental health (with or without resultant secondary substance use). Just like our other two programs, the Canyons program is accepting and affirming of any LGBTQ+ clients, and our treatment and staff reflect that. This residential treatment center for girls is located in Sand Canyon near the San Gabriel Mountains in Northwestern Los Angeles. The property is a humble farm right along the Angeles National Forest. It is a small individualized program that works with only 6 clients at a time. Each girl is assigned a roommate in hopes to build meaningful connections and peer support. Recent research has found that animals provide the calming, unqualified attention and love that are needed to help some clients flourish, moving away from illness and toward health. In this new residential trauma treatment program, clients will be assigned an animal to care for throughout the length of their stay. In accord with the holistic nature of the program, there will also be more of an emphasis on plant-based eating. Animal Assisted Therapy, or AAT, is fully integrated with our clinical therapy modalities to ensure our clients experience a more powerful positive impact on their mental health
