HEALING ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, AND MORE

Mental Health Treatment for Women

The mind and heart carry burdens that others can't see. For women especially, mental health challenges often hide behind carefully maintained facades: The executive who deals with crushing anxiety, the young mother wrestling with postpartum depression, the caregiver whose trauma resurfaces in quiet moments. At Friendly House, we create space for all these hidden struggles to come into the light—so they can be healed.

We know mental health and addiction rarely happen alone. Depression often leads to self-medication. Anxiety can make marijuana feel necessary. Childhood trauma can feel insurmountable without substances. Our integrated approach addresses both addiction and mental health because we understand how deeply they intertwine.

Treatment That Honors Your Story

Mental health care at Friendly House weaves together multiple threads of healing. Individual therapy provides a safe space to explore painful experiences and develop new ways of coping. Group sessions connect you with women who understand because they've been there. Psychiatric care helps balance brain chemistry when needed. Trauma treatment addresses old wounds with gentle, proven approaches.

We blend evidence-based therapies like CBT and DBT with holistic practices that nourish the spirit. Mindfulness and meditation ease racing thoughts. Movement therapies release trauma stored in the body. Art and music therapy open new channels for expression. And always, there's the healing power of community: the experience of being truly seen and accepted by other women who get it.

The Friendly House Difference

Women's mental health challenges don't exist in a vacuum. They're shaped by societal pressures, cultural expectations, and the particular burdens women carry. That's why our program looks at the whole picture:

  • How gender roles affect mental health
  • The impact of carrying others' emotional labor
  • Cultural and family influences on healing
  • The intersection of identity and mental wellness
  • Tools for setting boundaries and speaking needs
  • Ways to build sustainable self-care practices

Women Heal Together

In our community, you'll find women from all walks of life facing similar struggles. The perfectionist learning to let go. The survivor reclaiming her power. The caretaker learning to care for herself. Their stories remind us that healing is possible, that darkness gives way to light, and that we're stronger together than alone. Our team also includes women who've walked this path themselves, and who know firsthand the courage it takes to face mental health challenges. Many started their own healing journeys right here at Friendly House.
