About Blume Teen Behavioral Health
Blume Teen Behavioral Health offers hope for individuals ages 12–17 struggling with emotional, behavioral, or addiction challenges. With a commitment to real change, Blume provides gender-specific care across two separate locations—one dedicated to boys and one to girls—each designed as a close-knit 12-bed setting for individualized attention. In addition to a strong therapeutic program, they also offer mentorship, academic instruction, and encourage parental involvement to round out their holistic treatment.
Find Meaningful Change beyond Traditional Therapy
Because every young mind is unique, the team of adolescent psychiatrists and psychologists work closely with teens and their families to provide top-tier clinical care with truly individualized support and attention for each client. While they rotate through a foundation of proven-effective therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), they tailor them to the client’s main concerns. More tactile and creative therapies are also used— like sand tray, equine, play, and adventure therapy. The team believes that meaningful change can happen when reconnecting with life’s fun and exciting moments.
Uncover the Rewards of a Focused Reset
At Blume, teens can immerse in a therapeutic community, free from distractions, where they can uncover the core issues affecting their lives through intensive therapy. By participating in life-altering individual and group therapy sessions they gain a better understanding of their strengths and areas that need growth. These rewards not only impact the present, but set them up for success in the future.
Explore Coastline to City
In the vibrant Southern California, the tight-knit facilities provide the perfect balance of privacy and community. With semi-private rooms, each teen has space to reflect and recharge. Beyond the comfortable amenities, the proximity to the coastline allows for outings and therapies that take advantage of both natural and urban beauty.
