Types of Therapies
Traditional Therapies:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This evidence-based approach focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. CBT helps clients develop coping strategies to deal with challenges in a more positive way.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): EMDR is a form of psychotherapy designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. Through guided eye movements, EMDR helps the brain reprocess trauma so that healing can occur.
- Psychodrama Therapy (weekly): A form of group therapy that uses dramatic action to explore and solve personal problems. It allows participants to enact scenarios from their lives, offering insights and resolutions.
Holistic Therapy:
- Trauma-informed Yoga: This practice combines gentle yoga poses, breathwork, and meditation to help heal the physical and emotional impacts of trauma. It’s designed to restore a sense of control over one’s body and mind.
- Breathwork: A method that uses conscious, controlled breathing techniques to improve mental, physical, and spiritual well-being, helping to release stress, anxiety, and emotional blockages.
- Sound Bath: An immersive listening experience where participants are “bathed” in sound waves produced by instruments like gongs, singing bowls, and chimes, promoting deep relaxation and healing.
- Experiential Therapy (hiking/nature): Engaging in outdoor activities such as hiking allows individuals to connect with nature, promoting physical health, reducing symptoms of stress, and enhancing mindfulness.
Medical and Nursing Support:
- Registered Nurse (RN) On-site: Offering round-the-clock medical support to ensure the health and safety of all clients throughout their recovery process.
- Access to an MD 24/7: Ensuring that comprehensive medical care is always available, providing peace of mind and supporting the health and well-being of our clients.
- IV Hydration Treatments: These treatments provide essential vitamins and nutrients directly into the bloodstream, supporting recovery by improving overall health and energy levels.
Individualized Support:
- Guarantee of Twice Weekly One-on-One Sessions with an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist): These sessions offer personalized support, allowing clients to work through personal issues, family dynamics, and other challenges in a safe and supportive environment.
- Aftercare: Recovery is an ongoing journey that extends far beyond initial treatment, which is why we offer comprehensive aftercare services to support our clients as they transition back into their daily lives. We can help connect you to local sober living homes and support groups.
