Autism presents differently in every individual—and when it overlaps with other co-occurring conditions, mental health treatment must be handled with precision and care. At We Conquer Together, we understand that autism often exists alongside depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, or trauma-related conditions. These overlapping experiences can complicate diagnosis and make traditional mental health programs feel incomplete or overwhelming.
That’s why we proudly state: We Treat Autism as a Co-Occurring Diagnosis.
Our treatment center in Yorba Linda focuses on individuals with Level 1 support needs (requiring support) who may excel academically or socially mask well, yet still struggle internally with emotional regulation, executive dysfunction, and relationship challenges. In our supportive, inpatient environment, clients can stabilize their symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and begin healing with the guidance of a compassionate, multidisciplinary team.

Our inpatient program in Yorba Linda, California serves adolescents and adults with high-functioning autism and co-occurring mental health conditions who need intensive, round-the-clock mental health support.
We treat individuals experiencing:
While our program supports clients capable of participating in therapy, structured routines, and group interaction, it’s not designed for individuals needing 24-hour behavioral assistance or long-term residential care. Instead, we provide a balanced environment that combines stability, understanding, and evidence-based support for those seeking emotional and behavioral progress.
Many individuals with autism also experience eating disorders, particularly ARFID, anorexia nervosa, and bulimia nervosa. Sensory sensitivities, rigidity around food textures, or anxiety surrounding mealtimes can make traditional eating disorder treatment overwhelming—or even counterproductive.
Our clinical team at We Conquer Together includes dietitians and therapists specializing in neurodivergent eating behaviors, ensuring treatment respects both the sensory and emotional experiences of autism.
Our Approach Includes:
This integrated care model acknowledges the unique link between autism and disordered eating—addressing not only the nutritional aspect but also the emotional and sensory foundations beneath it.
At We Conquer Together, we understand that individuals with autism often process emotions, sensory input, and relationships differently—and that healing requires more than traditional talk therapy. That’s why we integrate a wide range of experiential, sensory-informed, and evidence-based modalities designed to help neurodivergent clients build awareness, regulate their nervous systems, and develop practical tools for emotional balance and daily life.
These therapies are thoughtfully adapted to meet the needs of autistic adults and adolescents with co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, OCD, ADHD, or depression.
Each of these therapies supports the core goals of inpatient care: self-regulation, self-awareness, and sustainable emotional growth. By combining structure with compassion, We Conquer Together helps neurodivergent individuals not just manage symptoms—but thrive in their recovery journey.
Getting help can feel hard, but you’re not alone. Our team can check your insurance for free, and many plans cover all treatment costs.
No two clients are the same. At We Conquer Together, each treatment plan is customized to match an individual’s neurotype, co-occurring diagnosis, and goals. Our clinicians emphasize collaboration, ensuring every intervention aligns with the client’s values and strengths.
Your care plan may include:
Families often come to us after exhausting traditional options that failed to recognize their loved one’s unique needs. At We Conquer Together, we provide neuroaffirming, emotionally intelligent care that validates your loved one’s experience and addresses the overlapping challenges of autism and mental illness.
We don’t see clients as “problems to fix,” but as people learning to understand themselves—worthy of stability, connection, and growth.
