Pathlight Mood & Anxiety Center – located along the scenic American River – specializes in treatment for mood, anxiety and trauma-related disorders for medically stable adults.

Our mood and anxiety treatment program in California offers a Partial Hospitalization Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program, available both on-site and virtually.

For patients in need of structure, intensive skills practice and who can maintain medication compliance, our 5-day-per-week Partial Hospitalization Program includes 7 hours of programming each day. Patients spend nights at home or at nearby apartments for a comfortable, supported environment during evening hours: helping them apply insights into perpetuating factors that amplify symptoms and develop sustainable skills and strategies for managing symptoms.

Both the onsite and virtual Intensive Outpatient Program provide up to 11 hours of clinical programming each week for patients with mood disorders such as bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder and seasonal affective disorder as well as anxiety disorders including general anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Our treatment modalities include specialty tracks for trauma and OCD.

We partner with our patients, families and referents to provide the skills, tools and support needed to rebuild resilience and guide patients on a path to long-lasting mental wellness.
