Healing From The Inside Out

Types of Therapy for Mental Health Offered at Wellness Hills

At Wellness Hills Mental Health, we understand that mental health concerns manifest differently for everyone. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of therapies to address emotional, psychological, and behavioral challenges. Below is an in-depth look at the therapy options available at our facility:

Individual therapy, or one-on-one counseling, is a foundational component of mental health treatment. During these confidential sessions with a licensed therapist, clients explore their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and past experiences to gain insight into their mental health challenges.

Individual therapy helps clients develop coping strategies, identify triggers, and build actionable plans for recovery. Sessions are personalized to each client’s needs, creating a safe space to address anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, or other challenges.

Individual sessions at Wellness Hills typically last 45 to 60 minutes and follow structured, goal-based treatment plans reviewed regularly by the clinical team.

Group therapy offers a supportive environment where individuals can connect with peers who face similar struggles. Guided by a skilled therapist, group sessions foster shared understanding, mutual encouragement, and accountability. Participants gain insights from others’ experiences while practicing communication and interpersonal skills.

At Wellness Hills Recovery Center, our group therapy sessions emphasize collaboration, emotional expression, and community, helping participants feel less isolated and build confidence in their recovery journey.

Mental health challenges can affect family dynamics, communication, and relationships. Family therapy involves bringing family members together in the therapeutic process to enhance understanding and promote healthier relationships.

At Wellness Hills, family therapy focuses on strengthening connections, resolving conflicts, and equipping families with the tools needed to support their loved one’s recovery. Therapists work to address role dynamics, improve communication, and foster empathy in a structured, constructive setting.

CBT is a widely used, evidence-based therapy that focuses on identifying and changing destructive thought patterns and behaviors. By reshaping negative beliefs that contribute to anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients develop healthier ways of thinking.

During CBT sessions, clients work with therapists to identify triggers, challenge irrational thoughts, and implement constructive coping strategies. CBT is highly effective for issues such as panic disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and mood disorders.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a specialized form of therapy designed to help individuals manage emotions, build healthy relationships, and navigate challenges such as trauma, self-harm, and borderline personality disorder.

DBT incorporates mindfulness techniques, emotional regulation exercises, and interpersonal effectiveness training to foster stability and resilience. At Wellness Hills Recovery Center, DBT is offered for both individuals and groups, equipping participants to live healthier and more fulfilling lives.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered approach that focuses on inspiring internal motivation for change. This therapy is ideal for individuals who may struggle with ambivalence or resistance to treatment, particularly in the context of addiction or behavioral health challenges.

Through empathic listening and strategic questioning, our therapists guide clients to explore their personal motivations, resolve conflicts, and set actionable goals. MI empowers individuals to take ownership of their recovery and build confidence in their ability to make meaningful changes.

Holistic therapy focuses on treating the mind, body, and spirit as interconnected elements of wellness. This approach may include practices such as mindfulness, meditation, yoga, nutrition education, and relaxation techniques.

At Wellness Hills Recovery Center, holistic therapy is integrated into treatment plans to promote emotional balance, physical vitality, and mental clarity. By addressing all aspects of well-being, this approach complements evidence-based therapies and fosters a more comprehensive recovery experience.
