What We Treat
We specialize in treating complex mental health conditions and co-occurring disorders. The multimodality approach involving group, individual, and family therapy along with psychiatric services allows our clinical team to effectively understand and address challenging behavioral issues. Often, it’s the combination of multiple mental health conditions, co-occurring autism spectrum disorder (ASD), or a co-occurring substance use disorder that hinders progress with traditional services. At Pasadena Villa Outpatient – Chapel Hill, we treat:
- Anxiety Disorders
- Bipolar Disorder
- Depressive Disorders
- Personality Disorders including Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
- Psychotic Disorders
- Co-Occurring Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- Co-Occuring Substance Use Disorder

Our Program
At Pasadena Villa Outpatient – Chapel Hill, we provide customized care that’s designed to meet each client’s specific needs and unique goals. We understand that people are not their diagnosis; they’re a combination of all that’s happened in their lives and their future journeys. Because of this, our clinical team of board-certified psychiatrists, licensed clinical social workers, registered art therapists, and licensed professional counselors partner with clients and their families to design treatment plans that provide a successful pathway to recovery.
Licensed clinicians with certifications in evidence-based modalities provide a whole-person approach using:
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
- Expressive Art Therapy
- Movement Therapy
- Somatic Psychotherapies
Our experienced psychiatrists oversee all treatment, conduct psychiatric evaluations, and provide careful medication management as needed. They also communicate with the community prescriber ensuring medication changes fit within their treatment plan. Additionally, we value and foster collaboration with community providers as we serve as an extension of each client’s treatment team. The two-way communication ensures clients receive seamless continuity of care as they transition into and out of our program.
