Role
Residential Treatment
Evidence-based approaches
Trauma-informed care
Trauma-Informed Care. Approaches addiction as something layered on top of unprocessed trauma, not in isolation. Pacing matters more than confrontation.
Art therapy
Art Therapy. Uses visual art-making as a structured way to access feelings that words have not yet caught up with. Often runs alongside talk therapy, not in place of it.
Music therapy
Music Therapy. Structured use of music-making and listening as a clinical intervention. Often reaches feelings before they reach words; used in trauma + adolescent treatment.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention. Practices noticing urges without acting on them, building the gap between trigger and choice.
Animal-assisted therapy
A therapeutic approach included in this provider’s plan of care. Contact for specifics on how it shows up in their work.
Group therapy
Group Therapy. A small facilitated circle where people working on similar struggles practice naming what is hard, hearing themselves in others, and learning skills together. The room is the medicine.
Holistic
Holistic Care. Adds nutrition, sleep, movement, and mind-body practices alongside the clinical work. Recovery is whole-person; the body matters too.
