About Us at Sacramento Mental Health

Our Facility in Roseville, CA

The Sacramento Mental Health residence in Roseville, California, is designed to feel residential rather than institutional. Six private bedrooms, shared common spaces, outdoor access, dedicated therapy and wellness rooms — set on a quiet residential street rather than a clinical campus.

The size matters. A 6-bed program means the clinical team knows every resident by name, the milieu of the program stays human, and treatment plans receive the kind of individual attention that larger facilities structurally cannot provide.

Our Clinical Philosophy

Residential treatment works when the clinical foundation is evidence-based and the structure of the program supports daily implementation. Our clinical approach is anchored in:

These modalities are not menu items. They are integrated into the daily structure of residential life through individual sessions, group programming, skills training, and the consistent application of evidence-based methods across the residential team.

Surrounding that clinical core, a structured wellness program — yoga, supervised fitness, music therapy — supports nervous-system regulation and embodied recovery between clinical sessions. Wellness is adjunctive at Sacramento Mental Health. It supports the clinical work; it does not replace it.

What We Treat — and What We Don't

We treat the full adult mental health diagnostic spectrum. Conditions we treat include major depressive disorder, treatment-resistant depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder (in stabilized phases), personality disorders, and adult ADHD or autism when those are complicating a primary mental health diagnosis.

We do not provide:

If our scope is not the right fit for a specific situation, we will say so during the admissions conversation and help identify what is.

Our Leadership

The clinical work of Sacramento Mental Health is led by named, credentialed professionals with public profiles. The day-to-day clinical direction sits with Bonnie Mitchell, DBH, LPCC, our Clinical Director, and the medical direction sits with Sanjai Thankachen, MD, our Medical Director.

 

Both directors are involved in the program in a hands-on capacity — this is a 6-bed program, not a 50-bed campus where leadership lives in administrative offices. Residents and families interact directly with the people responsible for clinical and medical decisions.

Both licenses are subject to ongoing state oversight, periodic inspection, and renewal requirements. Our clinical team is led by named directors with public licenses and credentials — clinical and medical professionals who can be verified through California state licensing databases.
