Therapies we use to treat mental health disorders
Mental health concerns affect everyone differently. There’s not one care plan that will address everyone’s needs; your treatment plan can be most effective when it reflects your individual goals.
Our therapies are based on reliable scientific evidence and the most cutting-edge research and can include:
- Trauma-informed care: Mental health professionals can offer trauma-informed care, which accounts for the possibility that a patient may have experienced trauma. As our team treats the mental health concerns you have, they can follow the guiding principles of trauma-informed care, including safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness and empowerment.
- Evidence-based practices: In evidence-based practices, mental health professionals combine multiple types of research to develop a comprehensive mental health treatment plan, including scientific evidence, organizational evidence, experiential evidence and patient input.
- Creative arts therapies: Certified creative arts therapists encourage creative expression, including writing, drawing, painting and other arts, which can help patients deal with strong emotions, increase self-awareness and decrease stress and anxiety. Along with evidence-based practices, creative arts therapies can enrich patients’ well-being and promote self-examination.
Finding the right mental health disorder treatment center
Finding a treatment center that offers the right level of care for your needs is essential. And it can be helpful to know about the care team, their philosophies and their credentials.
Consider asking the following questions:
- What are the treatment center’s approaches, and how do they encourage ongoing healing?
- Does the center offer help from medical professionals such as physicians and nurses?
- Does the center offer a safe, comfortable environment? What features support success?
- What types of behavioral health professionals offer care at the inpatient treatment center? Do they have credentials or diverse backgrounds?
- Does the facility offer an aftercare planning process?
