About Lifesync Malibu
Operated privately and staffed by licensed physicians, LifeSync Malibu provides a residential environment designed to support individuals who are dealing with mental health challenges. Many residents stay between 30 and 90 days, though the program length can be adjusted based on each person’s needs.
The center offers evidence-based treatment such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and motivational interviewing. In addition, clients may benefit from experiential approaches including psychodrama, art therapy, music therapy, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to help process difficult memories. LifeSync also provides medication management, somatic experiencing, and yoga.
LifeSync Malibu is wheelchair accessible and is located on Calpine Drive at the Calpine Residence. The facility features six bedrooms, eight bathrooms with jacuzzi tubs, outdoor areas for relaxing and dining, an outdoor pool and hot tub, a recreation room, a family room with a television, and a spacious kitchen. Spanning about 5,000 square feet, the property offers a scenic setting overlooking the coastline of Malibu.
LifeSync Malibu supports clients of all ages. It also has targeted support for young adults aged 18 to 26, helping them manage mental health and addiction-related obstacles connected to school, work, and everyday life. The team includes certified psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists who are experienced in recognizing and responding to signs such as changes in personality, sudden weight fluctuations, pupil changes, and risk-taking behavior. For substance use disorders, LifeSync can connect younger clients with 12-step facilitation groups such as AA or NA, or with non-12-step options like SMART.
