Our Mission
Ambitions Therapy
Ambitions Therapy is a Southern California-based collective of dedicated treatment professionals with a shared goal: to support lasting recovery and personal transformation through compassionate, trauma-informed care. We proudly partner with organizations that are helping individuals navigate substance use disorders, mental health challenges, and co-occurring diagnoses. By working in collaboration with residential and outpatient treatment programs, we deliver therapeutic experiences that meet clients where they are, and empower them to grow beyond where they've been. Our integrative approach combines clinical expertise, lived experience, and holistic healing practices. Whether through group facilitation, individual therapy, nutrition, yoga, or mindfulness, we foster spaces where clients feel seen, supported, and motivated to heal.
What Sets Our Team Apart
At Ambitions Therapy, we believe excellence lies not only in credentials but in how we show up: with heart, purpose, and professionalism. Our clients and partners benefit from a uniquely human-centered, adaptive, and collaborative approach that prioritizes lasting transformation.
- Collaborative Learning Culture: Our team continuously grows through training, mentorship, and shared reflection, ensuring our services remain relevant and responsive to emerging needs.
- Whole-Person Healing: We incorporate clinical, somatic, and wellness-based practices to support all aspects of a person’s recovery, mind, body, and spirit.
- Lived Experience + Clinical Expertise: Many of our professionals bring lived experience in recovery or mental health, paired with extensive training, which fosters deeper trust and understanding.
- Customized Programming: No recycled sessions. Our group content is created and adapted to meet the specific needs, cultures, and goals of each facility and client group.
- Responsive Communication: We complete same-day documentation, coordinate with treatment teams, and offer dependable support with clear communication.
- Regulatory Preparedness: Our team understands facility compliance, documentation, and operational standards, delivering care that aligns with state and insurance guidelines.
- Beyond Talk Therapy: From yoga to cooking classes, we help clients heal through experiences that reconnect them with their bodies, strengths, and creativity.
"We were struggling with group engagement, documentation backlogs, and staff turnover. Bringing in Ambitions Therapy completely turned things around. Their structure, clinical expertise, and professionalism didn’t just support our program, they saved it."

FAQs
At Ambitions Therapy, we understand that starting group therapy can come with many questions. Our goal is to create a welcoming and supportive environment where you feel comfortable and informed.
What types of groups do you facilitate?
We provide a wide variety of evidence-based and experiential group sessions, including CBT, DBT, relapse prevention, trauma-focused groups, psychoeducation, process groups, mindfulness, yoga, breathwork, and more. This helps reduce treatment fatigue and keeps clients engaged.
Who leads the groups?
Our groups are facilitated by highly credentialed professionals, including CADCs, LAADCs, AMFTs, and ASWs. Each facilitator is carefully selected for their experience, professionalism, and ability to connect with clients in meaningful ways.
How does group facilitation benefit my program?
Adding credentialed facilitators ensures consistent, high-quality programming. Our services improve client participation and retention, strengthen clinical outcomes, and allow your core staff to focus on treatment planning and individualized care.
Can you tailor groups to fit our program's needs?
Absolutely. We work closely with each program to match group content and style to your treatment philosophy. Whether you need specialized trauma groups, skill- building sessions, or more engagement-focused programming, we adapt to your goals.
Where do you provide services?
We currently serve programs throughout Orange County and Los Angeles, with flexibility to expand as needed.
Do you offer short-term or long-term contracts?
Both. We can step in to cover immediate staffing needs, or build ongoing partnerships to support long-term program growth.
