AMFM Healthcare

About

AMFM Healthcare, originally founded as A Mission For Michael, is a multi-site residential mental health treatment organization operating gender-specific facilities across California, Minnesota, and Virginia. The program offers residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient levels of care for adults with mood disorders, personality disorders, dual diagnosis conditions, and trauma-related presentations. AMFM's clinical model integrates evidence-based psychotherapies — cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, and psychodynamic therapy — with holistic modalities including transcranial magnetic stimulation, acupuncture, massage therapy, yoga, meditation, breathwork, art and music therapy, and animal-assisted therapy. The organization's treatment philosophy emphasizes a whole-person approach that addresses mental, physical, and relational dimensions of psychiatric illness, with nutritional counseling and nature-based interventions woven into daily programming. Under the medical leadership of Dr. William Dodge, who brings training from USC in medical management and emergency medicine, AMFM maintains clinical standards across its network of residential homes. The organization accepts a broad range of insurance plans, including HMOs, PPOs, and employee assistance programs, positioning it as one of the more accessible integrative residential options in the private treatment landscape.

Depth Orientation

AMFM Healthcare combines clinical psychotherapy — including psychodynamic and trauma-focused modalities — with transcranial magnetic stimulation and a broad array of holistic interventions that are integrated into daily treatment programming rather than offered as peripheral add-ons. The program's whole-person philosophy extends to nutritional counseling, nature therapy, and animal-assisted therapy alongside evidence-based clinical interventions, reflecting a structural integration of mind-body approaches across the treatment continuum.
