At Beachside Teen, our programs provide the perfect summer experience.

Find Out If Your Insurance Covers Our Teen Programs
At Beachside Teen, our treatment programs provide the perfect time to turn the school-free months into a powerful opportunity for healing, development, and reconnection.
By removing the daily stressors of academic life and digital distractions, we help teens refocus on their mental, emotional, and behavioral health while enjoying structured activities in a safe and supportive environment.
Whether your teen is struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or behavioral challenges, our summer programming offers evidence-based treatment in a nurturing setting where teens can unplug, reset, and thrive.
Trusted, Clinically-Driven Residential Structure
Every teen comes to us with a different story, a different set of challenges, and a unique combination of strengths.
At Beachside, our goal is to meet your teen exactly where they are and help them move forward with confidence. Our residential treatment programs combine clinical excellence, academic structure, and experiential therapies. We ensure teens are seen, heard, and valued with a three-phased approach to best provide the best long-term outcomes.
Equine Therapy, Surf Therapy & Summer Activities
Our location in beautiful Malibu gives us access to some of the most powerful and restorative therapeutic environments nature has to offer.
At Beachside, we believe that healing doesn’t just happen inside a therapy room—it happens in motion, in connection, and in the moments when teens are fully engaged with the world around them.
Equine Therapy
Through guided sessions with our professional equine therapy team, teens develop self-awareness, communication skills, and emotional regulation by interacting with horses. Horses mirror human emotion, making them powerful partners in healing. Equine therapy builds empathy, confidence, and trust—essential tools for lasting recovery.
Surf Therapy
There’s something inherently healing about the ocean. Our surf therapy program helps teens overcome fear, practice mindfulness, and tap into a sense of freedom and accomplishment. With professional surf instructors and clinical supervision, teens ride the waves while learning resilience and perseverance in real time.
Outdoor and Experiential Activities
We believe that therapy shouldn’t just happen in a chair. Our summer program includes hikes, team sports, beach cleanups, art projects, and other outdoor activities designed to promote joy, connection, and personal growth. These experiences allow teens to engage physically and emotionally while creating new, healthy memories.
Structured Learning Support All Summer Long
We understand that parents often worry about academic regression during summer. That’s why our program includes educational continuity and structured learning support, led by our on-staff Director of Education, Mark Paladini.
Mark brings more than 12 years of experience teaching at the university level, where he was celebrated for his innovative curriculum design and dynamic lesson planning for both undergraduate and graduate students.
At Beachside, Mark works closely with each teen’s home school to ensure academic continuity, coordinate assignments when needed, and help students stay on track. Whether your teen is preparing for college, catching up on missed work, or simply staying intellectually engaged, they’ll have the support and structure they need.
Teen treatment during the summer strikes a healthy balance: your teen won’t be overwhelmed with schoolwork, but they’ll remain mentally stimulated and academically supported. We believe learning happens in many forms—whether it’s grasping geometry or practicing emotional regulation—and we nurture both with equal care.
Why Teen Summer Treatment Works
Summer treatment provides a unique opportunity to make meaningful progress without the interference of school schedules or academic stress. When teens aren’t burdened by tests, homework, and peer drama, they’re able to focus more fully on themselves.
Key benefits of summer treatment include:
- Easier scheduling and flexibility for families
- A reset before the next school year begins
- Structured daily routines to reduce screen time and boredom
- Accelerated therapeutic gains with fewer distractions
- The ability to build social skills in real-world, supportive environments
