Mental Health Treatment for Women

Our Individualized Treatment Approach

At Wings, we recognize that every woman who walks through our doors has a unique story to tell. Our compassionate, professional therapists are ready to listen to your story and work with you to create a treatment plan that meets your individual needs.

Your journey of healing begins with speaking to our admissions team, and leads through a wide range of evidence-based and holistic therapies to find the treatment approach that will work for you.

Evidence-Based Treatment for Mental Health

Our compassionate, professional treatment team uses a wide range of evidence-based therapies to help you heal.

The American Psychological Association (APA) defines evidence-based practice as “the integration of the best available research with clinical expertise in the context of patient characteristics, culture, and preferences.”

At Wings, our therapists are trained in the latest, most effective research-based therapies including CBT, DBT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness-based therapies. Our therapists work with you to determine which of these will be most helpful.

Our thoughts influence our emotions, our words, our actions, and our destiny. In CBT, you learn to become more aware of your thoughts and transform unhelpful ways of thinking to more positive and effective ones.

Originally developed as a treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder, DBT teaches you skills to help you manage your emotions and deal with them effectively.

Growing from its roots in ancient spiritual traditions, mindfulness has been clinically proven to help with anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems, as well as helping you reduce stress.

Trauma Treatment That Works

Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is the breakthrough therapy that helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories. Studies show that it can provide rapid relief from the effects of a wide range of traumatic experiences.

Internal Family Systems is another evidence-based trauma therapy that works with your often-conflicted internal “parts” and helps restore the peace and clarity that come from being in touch with your Core Self.

Not all therapists have the specialized training necessary to treat trauma. Unlike many other treatment centers, at Wings all of our patients have the option of working with a highly trained trauma therapist up to twice per week, in addition to having two sessions per week with your primary therapist.

Holistic Therapy for Mental Health

Women today are increasingly looking toward holistic therapies to enhance and complement more traditional approaches to mental health. At Wings, we are proud to offer a wide variety of holistic therapies, including:

Acupuncture
Yoga
Mindfulness meditation (including trips to a nearby meditation garden)
Nutritional counseling
Art therapy
Improv group
Rock to Recovery (music therapy)
Other fun activities like movie and game nights

Best of all, all our holistic therapies are facilitated by trained professionals who are experienced in treating trauma, and other mental health issues.

My life has definitely become worth living again...you were only in my life and my recovery for a short time but you have definitely been the Bass of my recovery. You’re amazing at your job and I really wanted to thank you.

To all staff. You are all amazing and you are so helpful. I would give you 5 stars on yelp if I could remember my log in. The atmosphere you create here is special. PS. Thanks for helping me as I know I am difficult.

When I came to wings, I firmly believed I was worthless, I really didn't care to live, and leaning in Opiods as my coping skills seem like the right thing to do. Once I started working with therapists and doctor, I soon stopped taking opiods, muscle relaxers and sleeping pills. For the first time I am feeling life I am to cope with life, learning to love myself.

Dear: Sisters and Staff.
Thank you for letting me stay with you guys. I know you guys will be better every single day and will improve yourselves to be better and will continue to do things neccessary to be better you always be in my heart no matter what happen. Thank guys for everything.

Wings has been the most in fluently things that ever happened in my life. Jodi's groups have changed my life. I've wanted to quit countless times but Jodi always there for me. She reminds me why I am here. She is completely essential in what makes wings so life changing. Please continue the amazing work that you do. Her groups are so unique and amazing

Thank you so much for the care, support and love you have given me. I really appreciate all you have done for me. Thanks for keeping me safe and keeping me best interest in mind. You are amazing !

I Love the gathering of individuals at Wings. Love every single one of them, and I love myself as well. Now I am the person capable of saying these statements. That is the true testimonial of the unique experience and opportunity with Wings. The broken woman walking in their door, she no longer defines me, she no longer rules me, she no longer is me. Her greatest was finding Wings, where she found me, I am in Peace.

In my experience, Wings gas a multi-faceted approach to treatment with providing the client-centered environment to create a small supportive community through a bond of sisterhood created through the women I met in the program, very individualized and personalized treatment groups focused on healing from trauma and its long lasting impacts.

Today is bittersweet. I am excited to go home and the same time my heart hurts because I am leaving you my Wings Family. I walked in the door unsure that I could put the shattered pieces of my life back together. You patiently supported and encouraged taught 60 days later I am ready to see my future in a way I thought IMPOSSIBLE. Stay In touch, I Love Each of you and never give up on yourselves.

I have been here in 7 months now I am worlds better. Being here has given me the validation I never have that what I have been experiencing Isn't normal and they gave me a name. The staff are amazing and have probably literally saved my Life.

Healing Awaits you..
