Mental Health and Wellness

Childhood Trauma

For people suffering from childhood trauma-related mental health disorders, Solara Health provides specialized, in-depth treatment. Our program begins with comprehensive assessments, given by our compassionate clinicians and designed to give them a complete understanding of a client’s traumatic experiences and the effects those experiences have on their mental, emotional, physical, and psychological health. From this understanding, clinicians can create a wholly individualized treatment plan for each client, specifically tailored to address their experiences, symptoms, and struggles. Our expert clinicians combine individual psychotherapy, group therapy, holistic therapies, psychotropic therapy, and EMDR and somatic experiencing therapies (as needed), to create a treatment plan that is as comprehensive and effective as it is individualized. Through the expert care provided at Solara, clients will cultivate both the insight and the skills needed for them to process their experiences, heal, and live a secure, peaceful, and fulfilling life.

Healing Old Wounds

Our experiences in childhood affect us deeply. In particular, traumatic experiences in childhood—such as emotional, physical, or sexual abuse; seeing violence; divorce; natural disasters; and war—can have lasting psychological consequences, even years after the trauma is over. These psychological consequences can show themselves variety of mental health disorders, including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, dissociative disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and can even contribute to the development of personality disorders. Any of these disorders, left untreated, can have profound effects on people’s lives, leading them to feel alone and scared, unable to move fast the trauma and lead a fulfilling life.

Solara understands how difficult it can be to recover from traumatic childhood experiences and their effects. To support healing, we provide a calm, comfortable environment, free from the stresses of day-to-day living, where clients can feel safe and respected as they process their experiences and learn to manage their symptoms. Our peaceful facilities are aided by our nurturing clinicians, who are experts in childhood trauma treatment. As clients work through their past, clinicians will help them develop a highly individualized treatment plan, crafted to address their specific symptoms and challenges. These plans are comprehensive but also adaptable, changing as clients’ needs do. Solara’s compassionate clinicians, individualized treatment plans, and relaxing facilities will help clients come to terms with their experiences and develop the skills needed to heal and move forward with a greater sense of confidence, security, and peace.

While our clients make considerable and rapid improvements, mental health disorders stemming from childhood trauma are often long-term conditions. Understanding this through years of experience, Solara Health provides the entire spectrum of care from in-residence to outpatient to transitional living to continuing, customized case management of long-term aftercare planning to ensure maximum, long-term success. Solara Health is committed and dedicated to freeing our clients from the clutches of disorders caused by childhood trauma, and our programs are created to ensure this.

What Our Clients Are Saying

R.M. – Father

If not for Solara Mental Health, I am almost positive that our daughter would not be as advanced in her treatment, and would not have the almost miraculous confident and positive outlook that she has.

Husband

Solara was truly a life-changing experience for me and for our children, because of what you did for my wife! The treatment team was phenomenally supportive and perfect for helping her with her anxiety and depression. We are all now moving forward to put our lives back together and it started with you all in Pacific Beach. Thank you for what you do.

Dad

We are so grateful to you for the treatment and care you provided our daughter. She is doing unbelievably well now thanks to your program. We will gladly tell anyone we encounter that needs treatment about the wonderful work you do at Solara.

Watson Family

Solara’s program was such a positive experience for our mom (and for us)! She had become almost impossible to deal with. Your entire staff was phenomenally supportive and kind and patient with her. We feel like we’ve got our mom back, now.

Bradley

The therapists and counselors and really whole team were extremely beneficial to me and my understanding of my issues. The treatment plan they developed was exactly what I needed

Bill

The program has given me the tools I needed to really gain stability. For the first time in years - maybe for as long as I can remember, actually, I’m learning how to cope and manage my stressors and triggers. I now believe that I can find some relief and happiness.

Lauren

The Solara program is truly amazing. I’ve never had more clarity or more good energy in my entire life. The attention the physicians and the therapists gave me was outstanding. I feel like they truly understood and addressed my issues, which had consumed my life for years. Thank you all.

Alex

I have never felt better than I do now, since completing your program. The truly caring and supportive staff and the intensive program changed my life. What a neat place to stay for treatment - I love Pacific Beach! I have learned skills and behavior to move forward with my life thanks to you.

Michelle Family

I want to thank you and the entire staff and support system at Solara for taking such good care of my sister. On behalf of my entire family, we want you all to understand that your patience and kindness stretches further than you can see… Thank you, again and again, from the bottom of my heart.

M.P. – Father

Your program provided our daughter with the most masterful therapist we have ever encountered (and we have used many). She has had an unbelievable ability to see the long-term trajectory of our daughter’s treatment and to approach her treatment in stages that fit where my daughter’s development was. We can’t say enough positive about her.

Lynn

Even though I’m not religious, I realized when I got sober that for the first time in my life I wanted to explore my spiritual side. I benefited hugely from the individual spiritual sessions that I had with Chris. I’m really grateful for that aspect of the whole treatment experience.

Terri

The Solara Treatment Program was a life-changing experience for me. To be able to heal in such a beautiful, peaceful environment, with such a terrific treatment team, was so amazingly positive. I have found my true self, again. I thank you and my family thanks you for helping me become the person I was meant to be.
