How We Help

We don’t just patch symptoms—we rebuild from the ground up. Each of our plans blends structure, therapy, and skills that last. Our care is bold, smart, and fast, without rushing the process. Each step creates stability, confidence, and the kind of strength women can trust in daily life.

Our Approach: Straightforward. Personal. Built for Women.

Depression doesn’t look the same for everyone. Some women hide it with a smile. Others feel it in silence. That’s why our care is trauma-informed, flexible, and always centered on you. Our therapists adjust in real time, focusing on what matters most. Every method is based on science, powered by respect, and designed for lasting results. We build treatment that fits your story, your strength, and your future.

Levels of Care for Depression

Depression is messy. Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we offer different levels of care, matched to your exact needs. Some women need stabilization first. Others need a full-time structure. Some need flexibility to juggle life and healing. Whatever your starting point, we match the right support to your goals—so progress feels steady, strong, and real.

Crisis Stabilization & Intervention (CSU)

When life feels unmanageable, CSU steps in fast. We create a safe space to breathe, rest, and reset. Our focus is safety first—then calm, clarity, and next steps. With 24/7 support, therapy, and medical care, we build a bridge from chaos to stability, preparing you for deeper healing.

Who It’s For
  • Women in crisis right now
  • Those at risk of self-harm
  • Women needing short-term, urgent care
What to Expect
  • 24/7 medical and emotional support
  • Safe, calm environment for quick stabilization
  • Targeted therapy and medication support
  • Step-down planning for continued recovery

Residential Mental Health Treatment (RTC)

RTC is deep healing in a structured, safe space. Here, women leave outside stressors behind and focus only on recovery. Days are filled with therapy, skills practice, and peer connection. With expert guidance every step, women rebuild balance, strength, and confidence—walking out ready for the next stage of healing.

Who It’s For
  • Women with long-term or severe depression
  • Those needing daily structure
  • Women whose symptoms disrupt life
What to Expect
  • 24/7 professional support
  • Intensive daily therapy
  • Peer support groups
  • Real-life skills training

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) Consultation

A strong step-down option with full-day treatment. PHP is strong, and daily care is without living on-site. It’s for women who need structure but not 24/7 monitoring. Each day brings therapy, skills, and practice for real-life confidence. It bridges the gap between residential treatment and independence, keeping recovery steady and on track.

Who It’s For
  • Women who are stable enough for outpatient care
  • Those needing daily structure
  • Women stepping down from residential
What to Expect
  • Daily therapy and group sessions
  • Skills for independence
  • Medication management
  • Planning for smooth transitions home

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) Consultation

IOP means flexibility with accountability. Women can balance work, school, or family while getting strong support. It’s more than weekly therapy but lighter than PHP. Women engage in several therapy sessions weekly, with relapse prevention, skills, and community connection at the core. IOP creates accountability without overwhelm, so progress continues even in the middle of life’s real demands.

Who It’s For
  • Women balancing recovery with daily life
  • Those who need ongoing structure
  • Women who want a flexible schedule
What to Expect
  • Multiple therapy sessions each week
  • Strong focus on relapse prevention
  • Continued skill-building and growth
  • Links to community resources
