About Ascend Healthcare Canyons House Santa Clarita California
Canyons House, operated by Ascend Healthcare, provides specialized residential treatment for adolescent girls aged 12-17 who are experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, and other mental health challenges. Located in Sand Canyon in Northwestern Los Angeles near the San Gabriel Mountains, this intimate program accommodates just six residents at a time, creating a personalized healing environment.
The facility operates on a small farm bordering the Angeles National Forest, offering a serene backdrop for recovery. Each resident shares a room with one peer, fostering meaningful connections and mutual support throughout the healing journey.
Canyons House takes a comprehensive approach to treatment, combining evidence-based therapies with experiential methods. Their therapeutic offerings include EMDR for trauma processing, 12-Step programming for co-occurring substance issues, animal-assisted therapy, drama and music therapy, horticulture, medication management, and yoga.
A distinctive aspect of their program is companion animal therapy, where each girl cares for an animal during her stay. This therapeutic relationship helps residents develop self-care skills and responsibility that may have been compromised by trauma. The animal companionship also provides emotional comfort and creates space for processing difficult experiences with clinical support.
The program specifically addresses symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, and post-traumatic stress disorder within its holistic treatment framework, helping young women build foundations for lasting mental wellness.
