Services are provided using an individualized approach by following California’s Core Practice model and trauma-informed models, culturally relevant, age, and developmentally appropriate. We believe in the power of individualized care, tailoring our therapeutic approaches to meet the specific needs and strengths of each girl. Through a comprehensive range of therapeutic modalities, including individual and group therapy, experiential activities, life skills training, and academic support, we empower our residents to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and determination.

At Stella Maris, we foster a sense of community and belonging, where girls can form meaningful connections with peers who understand and support them. Within our nurturing environment, they have the opportunity to rebuild trust, develop healthy relationships, and cultivate a positive sense of identity. Our ultimate goal is to equip girls with the tools and resources they need to thrive beyond our walls, inspiring them to embrace their potential and pursue fulfilling futures. With a foundation built on compassion, respect, and unwavering support, we are dedicated to helping each girl realize her inherent strength and worth, enabling her to lead a life of purpose, resilience, and joy.
