Comprehensive Mental Health Services

D’Amore Mental Health is one of Southern California’s leading mental health treatment centers, providing 24/7 specialized care for a range of conditions that may affect IKEA employees:

Our clinicians are experienced in treating various anxiety conditions including generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks, social anxiety, and retail-specific anxieties. We understand how high-volume customer interactions, performance metrics, visual merchandising deadlines, and inventory management responsibilities can contribute to anxiety, and we offer targeted interventions to manage these symptoms while maintaining professional effectiveness.

We understand how high-volume customer interactions, performance metrics, visual merchandising deadlines, and inventory management responsibilities can contribute to anxiety, and we offer targeted interventions to manage these symptoms while maintaining professional effectiveness.

We provide specialized care for more complex mental health challenges including psychotic disorders, severe bipolar disorder, and other conditions involving disruptions in thought processes. Our treatment team is equipped to address these conditions within the context of maintaining employment stability, with protocols designed for professionals in dynamic retail environments.

Our 24/7 crisis intervention services provide immediate, expert care during acute mental health episodes. We understand the unique pressures that can trigger crises among furniture retail professionals, including seasonal rushes, challenging customer interactions, physical strain from warehouse duties, or cumulative stress from balancing showroom responsibilities. Our crisis stabilization program focuses on rapid assessment, immediate intervention, and thoughtful transition to appropriate ongoing care levels.

We offer specialized support for IKEA employees experiencing burnout from sustained workplace stress. Our comprehensive approach helps you recover mental and physical energy, reestablish healthy boundaries between work and personal life, and develop sustainable practices that support long-term wellbeing while maintaining career growth in the demanding retail furniture industry.

We address the unique connection between physical demands of furniture retail work—standing for long periods, assisting with heavy items, navigating large warehouse environments—and their impact on mental health. Our integrated approach helps you develop strategies for managing physical strain while supporting your psychological wellbeing.

We address co-occurring substance use disorders alongside primary mental health conditions, recognizing that some retail professionals may develop unhealthy coping mechanisms in response to workplace stress. Our integrated approach treats both conditions simultaneously, with special consideration for maintaining recovery while returning to retail environments with variable schedules and physical demands.

Our Treatment Approach for IKEA Employees

Our “Build Me Up” program uses positive reinforcement and “Gracious Redundancy” to foster lasting behavioral and cognitive change. We understand that IKEA employees may need flexible treatment options that accommodate varying shift schedules, weekend work requirements, and the physical recovery needed alongside mental health treatment.

Multiple Levels of Care Available:

What to Expect at D'Amore

When you choose D’Amore for your mental health needs as an IKEA employee, you’ll receive:

Our residential program provides comfortable, healing environments where you can focus on recovery without the additional stress of shared spaces. Each room is thoughtfully designed to promote rest and reflection, giving you the privacy needed for genuine healing.

You will meet with your dedicated therapist who works closely with you to address your specific challenges, develop personalized coping strategies, and track your progress throughout treatment. These one-on-one sessions form the backbone of your personalized recovery plan and provide a safe space to explore concerns specific to your work at IKEA.

Our group sessions cover a range of topics including stress management, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and workplace reintegration strategies specifically relevant to furniture retail environments. These groups help you connect with others while developing essential skills for maintaining mental wellness.

You will receive thorough assessments with regular follow-ups to evaluate your mental health status, monitor progress, and make necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. Our psychiatrists specialize in treating professionals in demanding careers and understand the unique stressors of retail furniture work.

Our experienced psychiatrists understand the importance of finding the right balance—medications that effectively manage symptoms while allowing you to maintain the mental clarity and physical energy required in your customer-facing position at IKEA. We continuously monitor and adjust your medication protocol for optimal results.

Your treatment will include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change negative thought patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build distress tolerance and emotional regulation, and specific interventions designed to help manage the physical and mental fatigue common in retail environments.

You will have access to outside gym facilities, art therapy, music therapy, and mindfulness practices that provide alternative ways to process emotions and develop healthy coping mechanisms. These therapies can be integrated into your daily routine upon returning to work and provide valuable stress management tools for the physically and emotionally demanding retail environment.

These structured activities help you develop real-world coping skills and practice applying therapeutic techniques in community settings. These experiences build confidence in managing stressors outside the treatment environment before returning to your professional responsibilities at IKEA.

Our team addresses practical concerns related to your employment, benefits, family responsibilities, and personal affairs, ensuring that your focus can remain on recovery while maintaining career stability. We help coordinate communication with HR departments when appropriate and provide advocacy for your needs.

Your treatment addresses mind, body, and spirit through nutritional counseling, sleep hygiene education, physical wellness activities, and optional spiritual support. These approaches create sustainable wellness practices that support long-term recovery and professional performance, particularly important for those balancing the physical demands of retail work with recovery.

We help educate your loved ones about your mental health journey and equip them with tools to support your continued wellness after treatment. These sessions create a stronger support network for lasting recovery and help family members understand the unique challenges of your work environment.

Your aftercare plan considers the unique demands of your IKEA position, with strategies for managing workplace stressors, maintaining work-life balance, and preventing relapse while excelling in your career. We develop specific protocols for handling high-stress periods such as major sales events, store remodels, and holiday shopping seasons.
