The care model at Sun County blends evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) with holistic approaches that support mind-body wellness. Clients may participate in neurofeedback, acupuncture, yoga, equine-assisted therapy, and nutrition counseling. Medication management and psychiatric services are also available as part of an individualized treatment plan.
A Supportive Community of Peers
Clients engage in small-group therapy and structured peer sessions designed to foster trust, emotional expression, and accountability. The women-only setting offers a sense of safety and solidarity for those with histories of trauma or relational challenges.
