Women's Healing and Wellness Program
The Women’s Healing and Wellness Program at Camden Center provides comprehensive, integrative mental healthcare to women recovering from trauma-related conditions. These may include:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Substance use disorders
- Sex and love addiction
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Pelvic pain
- Disordered eating
- Body image disturbances
Composed of an all-female staff of expert clinicians, including physicians, psychotherapists, natural medicine doctors, and somatic therapists, our Women’s Healing and Wellness Program is designed to help women heal in a safe and supportive setting.
Patients in the program needing the support of a structured living environment may also choose to live at one of Camden Residences women’s houses.
The Women’s Healing and Wellness Program utilizes multiple therapeutic modalities and matches each patient with a personalized team of clinicians.
A unique treatment plan is created for each patient containing the treatments that are most likely to be effective for them at each point in their recovery. Treatment is planned holistically and addresses the psychological, biological, and behavioral components of each patient’s specific history.
Patients in the program also have access to other programs within Camden Center if needed, including the Comprehensive DBT Program, Addictions Program, and Eos LGBTQIA+ Program.
