Five ways to start. One steady team.

What's distinctive about Pasadena Clinical Group isn't a single modality — it's the way the modalities sit next to each other. Most people who come to us start with one (often group therapy or individual), and within a few months add a second (a partner joins for couples, or the household needs a few family sessions, or the substance use needs the structure of an Intensive Outpatient Program). Crucially, you don't change practices to add a modality — the same clinicians, the same intake history, the same understanding of your story carries through. That continuity is most of why people stay.

Underneath, we draw from a few decades of evidence-based therapies — Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Relapse Prevention for triggers and thought patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for the feelings you can't argue your way out of, Motivational Interviewing for ambivalence, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation, Internal Family Systems (IFS) for the parts of you that have been protecting you, and EMDR for trauma processed at the right pace. The modality matters less than the fit — your clinician chooses the right one for what you're actually trying to change, and explains why.
