Mental Health and Wellness

Family Therapy

Our Family Therapy Program helps the families and loved ones of our veterans who are experiencing psychological, emotional and relational problems.

The purpose of the Family Program is to improve communication and coping skills for all involved.  The clinicians and relationship experts at our mental health treatment center work with families and loved ones by providing proven tools, education and strategies to improve existing family dynamics and to optimize communication. These skills are also highly beneficial in proactively resolving issues, rather than reacting to problematic behaviors after they have surfaced.

  • Our family program can be highly successful in improving family dynamics by improving communication skills, educating family members to triggers, and challenges and developing prevention strategies.
  • We instruct families and loved ones how to minimize household stress levels, identify early warning signs of issues and to break patterns of codependency

Family Therapy Options:

  • Family Weekend Program
    A three-day weekend program conducted at Solara Mental Health treatment center.
  • Family Therapy Sessions at Solara
    Therapy and educational, skills building sessions conducted at our treatment center on a weekly interval.
  • Remote Family Sessions
    Therapy sessions conducted by phone or Skype for families who are not able to come to our Solara Mental Health treatment center.

Solara’s Family Therapy for Veterans

We provide families and loved ones with proven tools, education, and strategies to improve existing family dynamics and optimize communication at our mental health treatment center. We understand this is a complex and broad term that requires the guidance and assistance of our qualified staff at our facility.

Solara Mental Health is VA contracted as a community care provider. Once authorized, housing, transportation, and accommodations will be provided.

What Our Clients Say

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
