Monima Wellness Center offers an individualized partial hospitalization program (PHP) for women in tranquil San Diego seeking a comprehensive and immersive treatment program for mental health and trauma recovery.
PHP is the highest level of care available at Monima, intentionally designed for women who are in need of more intensive support. Most clients take a leave of absence from work, school, or daily routines to fully commit themselves to healing. Monima partners with Ohana Recovery Residences to provide optional safe housing and a sense of community for all clients.
PHP provides over 30 hours of weekly treatment. Clients engage in group and individual therapy five to six hours per day, five days a week, with a number of holistic and evidence-based therapy options and expert clinicians best suited to their needs.
Monima Wellness is more than just a treatment center; it’s a community that empowers women to overcome their challenges and build a healthier future. Our San Diego PHP is unique in several ways, making it an exceptional choice for women and LGBTQ+ individuals seeking a comprehensive recovery program.
PHP at Monima is individualized; clients use various group and individual therapy options based on personal preferences, diagnoses, or recovery goals. The PHP schedule is structured so clients receive comprehensive care from a diverse team of clinicians who specialize in various treatment modalities.
PHP is an immersive recovery program. Clients can stay at Ohana during treatment if they want to live in an intentionally healing environment with a like-minded community of women. PHP allows clients to tackle their mental health and trauma-based challenges away from their daily routines.
Monima and Ohana have partnered to provide clients with optional, women’s transitional housing during recovery. Located just a short drive away, clients are surrounded by a supportive and like-minded group of women and female-identifying individuals in a safe, consistent, stable, and inclusive environment that feels like home.
Monima offers two outpatient treatment program options for clients coping with moderate to severe mental health, trauma, or substance use concerns. Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provide two distinct levels of care so each client receives the support they need.
Monima’s Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) was built for women seeking part-time treatment for moderate to severe mental health, trauma, or sub stance use issues. IOP is designed specifically for women ready for a level of support above traditional weekly therapy, or as a stepping stone between a full-time recovery program — such as PHP or residential treatment — and returning to their daily routines full-time. Clients in the IOP program receive 9-15 hours of therapeutic engagement per week.
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is the highest level of care available at Monima. PHP is best suited for clients with severe mental health symptoms that have begun to interfere with daily life and continue to persist despite therapy or medication. Most clients take a leave of absence from work, school, or their daily routines to fully commit themselves to the program. While in PHP, clients will be engaged in group and individual therapy five to six hours per day, five days a week.
Unlike other treatment centers, we provide an integrated, personalized, and diverse range of therapeutic approaches that set each patient up for a breakthrough in their wellness journey and the chance at a sustainable and life-changing recovery. We offer a variety of unique treatment options and modalities, including but not limited to:

At Monima Wellness, our San Diego Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is thoughtfully designed to provide women and female-identifying individuals with a comprehensive and immersive treatment experience.

Your journey with us begins with thorough initial neuropsychological testing conducted by our experienced clinical team. During this assessment, we take the time to understand your mental health history, current challenges, and personal goals. This assessment allows us to craft a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and diagnoses and sets the stage for recovery.
Our PHP provides over 30 hours of treatment each week, delivered in a structured and supportive environment. You can expect to participate in therapy five to six hours a day, five days a week. This intensive schedule includes group therapy, individual therapy, and other therapeutic activities to promote healing and growth.

Our team works closely with you to track your progress, celebrate your successes, and address any challenges that arise.
Partial hospitalization programs are designed for individuals who require a high level of support to manage their mental health or recovery from trauma but do not need 24/7 inpatient care. PHP serves as a middle ground between inpatient and outpatient therapy, offering intensive care while allowing participants to maintain some aspects of their daily lives.
Ideal Candidates for PHP include:
PHP is suitable for those experiencing significant symptoms of mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or other complex mental health issues that require comprehensive care. Learn more about the conditions we treat.
PHP is often a step down from inpatient or residential treatment programs. It’s ideal for individuals who have completed inpatient care but still need structured support as they transition back to daily life.
If traditional outpatient therapy (such as weekly sessions) isn’t providing enough support, PHP can offer the additional care needed. It’s a good option for those who require more frequent and intensive therapy sessions.
People who are dealing with both a mental health disorder and substance use disorder can benefit from the integrated treatment approach offered in PHP, which addresses both conditions simultaneously.
PHP is appropriate for individuals who are experiencing a mental health crisis but are stable enough to avoid inpatient hospitalization. It provides intensive support to help manage and alleviate acute symptoms.

Our dedicated team is here to guide you through every stage of your recovery, providing a safe and nurturing environment where you can focus on your well-being.

The PHP schedule includes five to six hours of evidence-based therapy per day, five days a week. All PHP clients engage in a combination of individual and group therapy Monday to Friday from 9:30 – 3:30. The length of the program is determined on a case-by-case basis, but is on average, 30-90 days.
The key differentiator between PHP and IOP is the amount of time clients spend per week engaging in therapy and with our medical providers. Monima acknowledges that every client has different goals for recovery and are entering treatment at various stages in their wellness journey. As such, PHP and IOP have been intentionally designed to offer two distinct levels of care that address the various medical, physical, emotional, and psychological needs of each individual.
Yes, Monima works alongside Ohana Recovery Residences to provide optional safe housing for women enrolled in their recovery programs. The two locations are only 15 minutes apart and clients experience an immersive, supportive recovery environment with a like-minded community, when staying at Ohana.
Monima limits the size of their PHP program to 12 women as we acknowledge the importance of empowering each woman to have a voice during treatment. Keeping groups smaller than 12 gives clients the opportunity to share as much or as little as they are comfortable with the group. Additionally, groups under 12 ensures all members have ample access to one-on-one help with any member of the clinician team.
Yes, every program at Monima has been designed for female-identifying clients. In addition, Ohana allows female-identifying clients to stay at their residences.
A range of trauma-informed therapy options are available in both a group and individualized – setting depending on the preference of the individual. This includes, but is not limited to:

Our admissions team can verify your insurance coverage and explain your benefits before beginning treatment.

Due to the intensive nature of our San Diego PHP (30+ hours weekly, Monday through Friday from 9:30 AM – 3:30 PM), most clients take a temporary leave from work or school to fully focus on their recovery. As clients progress, they often transition to our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), which offers more flexibility for balancing treatment with daily responsibilities.

For clients who benefit from medication as part of their treatment plan, our psychiatric team works closely with therapists to ensure integrated care that addresses all aspects of well-being.
Our San Diego PHP offers integrated treatment for women experiencing co-occurring disorders, addressing both mental health challenges and substance abuse simultaneously. Our comprehensive approach includes specialized group therapy, relapse prevention strategies, individual counseling, and holistic approaches that support recovery from both conditions.
After completing our San Diego PHP, clients typically transition to stepped-down levels of care such as our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). We create comprehensive aftercare plans that may include ongoing individual therapy, alumni program participation, connection to community resources, and continued psychiatric support if needed.

Our San Diego PHP is ideal for women who need more structure and support than traditional outpatient therapy provides but don’t require 24/7 hospitalization. Good candidates include those experiencing significant symptoms of mental health conditions, women transitioning from inpatient care, individuals with co-occurring disorders, and those who haven’t found sufficient relief through less intensive treatment. The best way to determine if our program is appropriate is through a comprehensive assessment with our clinical team.
