We offer a variety of holistic therapies to our clients, both experiential and evidence-based. These therapies help our clients to get in touch with their minds and bodies while undergoing treatment, promoting a sense of peace and wellness.
During individual therapy sessions, clients will interact with licensed and trained counselors to work through underlying issues that may be contributing to their drug or alcohol addiction.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (also known as CBT) has been clinically proven to help clients with a wide range of problems, including substance abuse.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (or DBT) is another common form of talk therapy that is found in many substance abuse treatment programs.
During trauma-informed therapy sessions, clients are able to talk with a specialist who accounts for their past trauma and the way it may have affected their thinking, behavior, and ability to interact with treatment.
Brainspotting is a type of alternative therapy that utilizes spots in a person's field of vision in order to help them process trauma.
Neuro Feedback is a type of noninvasive therapy that helps clients to alter the way their brain responds to certain types of stimuli.
Family counseling is one of the best ways to reconnect with family members who are affected by addiction and mend the relationship between a client and their family.
With our treatment approach, we help you get to the deeper roots of what’s driving your addiction. Through sharing and listening, the groups become a source of motivation, accountability, and real change.
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy that encourages patients to confront and explore their emotions through experiences, hence the name. It’s not your typical sit-down-and-talk kind of therapy.
Equine therapy works with clients that have behavior issues, autism, and developmental disabilities and works with vets suffering from PTSD.
Massage therapy has become increasingly recognized as a valuable tool in the journey of addiction recovery. As individuals navigate the challenges of overcoming addiction, massage therapy offers a unique approach to healing both the mind and body.
We believe in the transformative potential of narrative therapy for conquering addiction. Our method is grounded in the recognition that addiction is a deeply personal battle influenced by individual experiences and narratives.
Yoga utilizes physical postures and controlled breathing that help lengthen and strengthen the spine, increase flexibility, and help calm the mind.
Recreation recovery is a new way of living life. Living clean and sober opens people up to whole new ways of having fun and enjoying life.
Physical wellness plays a huge part in the success of recovery. Maintaining a healthy weight, and getting the proper amount of vitamins, minerals, and proteins are all essential to repairing the damage done by drugs and alcohol.
Mindfulness therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on learning to notice thoughts, feelings, and surroundings without automatic responses.
