Visions Treatment Centers Malibu

About Visions Treatment Centers Malibu

For more than two decades, the team behind Visions Treatment Center, founded by Chris and Amanda Shumow in 2002, has emphasized partnering with each client’s family and involving them throughout the treatment journey. The center supports teens facing mental health challenges as well as co-occurring disorders. As Visions Treatment Centers expanded since opening, it retained its original clinical leadership while welcoming additional professionals to strengthen its care.

Because adolescents are still building emotional and environmental understanding, the approach to treatment differs from how adults are treated. At Visions, every case is handled holistically, with psychological and diagnostic testing and assessments used to ensure the best possible fit for each person. Visions Adolescent Treatment Center holds Joint Commission accreditation and is affiliated with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Programming combines holistic strategies, experiential therapies, and evidence-based methods. Treatment may include individual and group options such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), family therapy, and social and emotional skill-building.

Visions Treatment Center serves families across Southern California, with facilities in Malibu, Thousand Oaks, and Santa Monica. Each site offers its own focus and a tailored set of programs. Parents and teens are encouraged to tour the locations and review the center’s dual diagnosis and teen mental health treatment services. Residential settings provide shared, gender-specific rooms and structured living arrangements for the teens.
