Transformative Behavioral Health Treatment Programs

Story Wellness provides a range of outpatient treatments designed for different levels of care. Whether you're seeking intensive support or ongoing guidance, we have an option to meet your unique needs.

1. Partial Hospitalization (PHP)

Our highly structured Partial Hospitalization Program is the most comprehensive level of care we offer outside of residential treatment. It’s perfect for those requiring significant professional support in their healing process.

2. Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)

For individuals seeking high-impact, short-term care, IOP offers 3–5 hours of therapy a day. This is a focused program designed to provide tangible results while allowing you to balance other aspects of your life.

3. Outpatient Treatment

Maintain your independence while receiving care through regular visits to our outpatient treatment center. This option is especially suited for people managing substance use disorders or other challenges with less intensive needs.

Why Choose Story Wellness?

Located in the scenic city of San Juan Capistrano, our facilities provide an atmosphere that promotes healing and growth. We’re conveniently situated near the historic downtown area, with easy access off the 5 freeway.

Our therapeutic approach goes beyond typical counseling. Using Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and more, we focus on helping you detach from negative stigmas and rewrite your life story in a way that aligns with your goals and values.

What Is Narrative Therapy and How Can It Help?

At the heart of our treatment philosophy is Narrative Therapy, a method that encourages you to see your life as a series of stories. Your stories shape your identity, and through Narrative Therapy, you can redefine these narratives to reclaim control over your life.

How It Works

• Separate the Issue from Your Identity

Narrative Therapy helps you step back and view challenges objectively, allowing you to distance yourself from self-defeating thoughts and behaviors.

• Discover Your Inner Strengths

By analyzing your narratives, you’ll uncover personal skills and attributes that can help you overcome obstacles.

• Reimagine Positive Futures

Work alongside our therapists to rewrite your story with hope, solutions, and empowerment for a brighter future.

This evidence-based approach has transformed countless lives by encouraging individuals to leave behind the weight of their past and focus on their present and future potential.

Comprehensive Psychotherapy for True Healing

Our psychotherapy services are designed around your unique needs and challenges. We draw from a variety of evidence-based practices to provide the personalized care necessary for lasting healing.

Types of Psychotherapy We Offer

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors to achieve a more positive outlook.
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Learn how to manage overwhelming emotions while reducing destructive habits.
• Psychoanalytic Therapy: Uncover unconscious patterns causing distress to gain deeper insight into your mental health.
• Humanistic Therapy: Explore your true self and unlock your potential through a holistic approach.
• Interpersonal Therapy (IPT): Strengthen communication skills and address underlying interpersonal challenges.

Why Psychotherapy Works

Psychotherapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space where our mental health professionals help you explore your emotions, behaviors, and challenges. By working collaboratively, we’ll guide you in building healthy coping mechanisms and creating meaningful, lasting change.

For added support, psychotherapy can also complement medication regimes when needed, making it a helpful component of comprehensive behavioral health care.
