Vistula Solutions
Find the right treatment. Keep it on track.
I help families navigate mental health and addiction treatment — finding the right program and coordinating care, managing the admission, and staying involved as independent oversight so the plan holds.
Aga Pedroso — trauma specialist and case manager with years inside Malibu residential treatment programs, and 20 years of dementia consulting.
Families pay me. Treatment facilities never do — by policy and by federal law.
Call or text: (805) 206-9477 — I answer.
Someone you love needs treatment. The clock is already running.
Every program says they are the best one. The price is $40,000-80,000 a month, the decision is expected in 48 hours, and most advice comes from people paid by the programs. Then treatment starts, five providers stop talking to each other, and nobody is accountable for whether the plan is working. That is the problem I solve.
When treatment is already happening — and not working.
When the crisis is right now.
• The right program — not the best-marketed one
• Admission handled: the calls, the logistics, the family
• Thirty days of written follow-up, so it holds
• I make five providers act like one team
• I catch warning signs before they become the next crisis
• I plan the step-down before anyone asks “what now?”
The record, plainly stated.
About fifty families over the past four years, from first crisis call through stabilization. Years of full-time case management inside Malibu residential programs. Twenty years of dementia consulting, where behavioral complexity and family crisis meet. Trauma specialist, Brainspotting practitioner, credentialed in neuropsychotherapy. Every engagement in writing, every scope agreed before work begins, and no facility money — ever. And no testimonials on this page: in this industry they are too easy to fake. References from past client families are available on request.
Three steps, starting today.
1. Consultation
Usually same day. You describe the situation; I tell you honestly what level of help it needs — including when the answer is that you do not need me.
2. The plan
Assessment, program match or provider realignment, and a written scope with a flat fee. You know the cost before anything begins.
3. It holds
Admission managed, providers coordinated, family informed weekly in writing. When stability comes, my involvement steps down — it does not just stop.
What I watch, so you don't have to.
Treatment progress, medications and appointments, provider communication, family strain, and the early warning signs — the whole picture, watched by one accountable person.

You do not have to figure this out alone at 2am.
Initial Consultation
One conversation tells you what your situation actually needs. Usually available the same day. Whether or not we work together further, you leave with an assessment and a plan.
