About Mental Wellness KS

Mental Wellness KS is a veteran-owned, trauma-focused mental health treatment center in Palm Springs, California. We provide residential treatment, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient care for adults working through depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and co-occurring mental health concerns.

Mental Wellness KS is part of The Ken Seeley Group, a family of programs built around a single idea: that treatment should follow a person through every stage of care, from the first call through long-term support. Our team brings decades of combined experience in intervention, psychiatry, trauma treatment, and family-inclusive care.

30+ years of experience · Veteran-owned · Trusted care

Founder-Led, Veteran-Owned

Ken Seeley has been personally and professionally involved in the recovery community since achieving sobriety on July 14, 1989. He has been a regular interventionist on A&E's Intervention since 2005 and is one of the most sought-after interventionists in the country.

Ken founded Intervention 911 in 2002 and built Ken Seeley Communities in 2011, designing programs that address the full continuum of care, from first call through long-term aftercare. Mental Wellness KS is the latest chapter: a mental-health-focused program built on the same trauma-informed, family-inclusive foundation.
