Mental Health Treatments
Your mental health journey is as individual as you are, which is why treatment should never follow a one-size-fits-all approach. We believe the best therapeutic outcomes come from a multi-faceted approach, often combining various treatment methods to address the full spectrum of your mental health needs.
Effective mental health treatment aims to reduce symptoms, address underlying causes, and equip you with tools for long-term condition management. Our clinical team works collaboratively with you to develop a personalized treatment plan, understanding that the best therapeutic outcomes typically come from a multi-faceted approach that combines various treatment methods to address all aspects of your mental health and wellbeing.
Georgia Mental Health Treatment Programs
At Kingston Wellness Retreat, we believe in the importance of a full continuum of mental health care to support your complete healing journey. While our specialty is intensive residential treatment, we understand that lasting recovery often requires different levels of care as you progress.
Residential Treatment
Our primary focus is on intensive residential care, providing 24/7 support in a retreat-style environment where you can focus entirely on your recovery. Our residential program offers the highest level of clinical support while maintaining comfort.
With round-the-clock access to clinical staff and a structured daily routine that balances intensive therapy with restorative activities, residential treatment provides the foundation for lasting transformation.
Seamless Transition Support
While we don’t offer PHP or IOP services directly, we believe strongly in continuity of care. Our clinical team works closely with trusted partners in your local community to ensure you have access to appropriate step-down care when you’re ready to leave our program.
This collaborative approach means you can continue your healing journey with providers who understand your treatment history and goals, creating a seamless transition that supports your long-term success.

Mental Health Treatments
Psychiatry
Our board-certified psychiatrists provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing monitoring. They work closely with our therapy team to ensure that any prescribed medications complement the therapeutic process and support overall recovery goals.
Individual Therapy
One-on-one therapy sessions provide a safe, confidential space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Our therapists use various evidence-based approaches tailored to each individual’s needs, including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and trauma-informed care.
Holistic Therapy
We integrate mind, body, and spirit approaches including meditation, mindfulness practices, yoga, art therapy, and music therapy. These complementary treatments help address the whole person and can be particularly effective in reducing stress and promoting overall well-being.
Family Therapy
Mental health challenges affect entire family systems. Our family therapy sessions help improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships. We work with families to develop healthy coping strategies and create supportive environments for recovery.
Red Light Therapy
Also known as photobiomodulation, red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to potentially improve cellular function and reduce inflammation. Emerging research suggests it may help with depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders as a complementary treatment approach.
GeneSight Testing
This pharmacogenetic test analyzes how an individual’s genes may affect their response to certain psychiatric medications. GeneSight testing helps our psychiatrists make more informed medication decisions, potentially reducing trial-and-error prescribing and improving treatment outcomes.
Group Therapy
Group sessions provide peer support and the opportunity to learn from others facing similar challenges. Our structured group programs focus on specific topics such as anxiety management, depression support, trauma recovery, and life skills development.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
Originally developed for borderline personality disorder, DBT has proven effective for various conditions involving emotional dysregulation. It teaches skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is an evidence-based approach that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. This therapy is particularly effective for treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, and many other mental health conditions by teaching practical coping skills.
Depression
We offer a range of treatments for depression, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), medication management, and holistic therapies. Our goal is to help you manage symptoms and find lasting relief.
Anxiety Disorders
From generalized anxiety disorder to panic disorder and social anxiety, our tailored treatments help reduce the intensity and frequency of anxiety symptoms.
Bipolar Disorder
Individuals with bipolar disorder benefit from our structured approach, which includes mood stabilization techniques, medication management, and individual therapy.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
We provide trauma-informed care to help those suffering from PTSD heal from past traumas. Therapy options include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and trauma-focused CBT.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Our treatment programs offer exposure and response prevention (ERP), a gold-standard treatment for OCD, to help individuals manage obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.
Dual Diagnosis (Co-Occurring Disorders)
For those struggling with both a mental health disorder and substance use disorder, our dual diagnosis program offers integrated care to treat both issues simultaneously.
Suicidal Ideation
Suicidal thoughts can feel like an overwhelming darkness, making each day a struggle and leaving you feeling isolated and hopeless.
Schizophrenia
Our treatment programs for Schizophrenia help individuals find stabilization with medication, neuroscience, and behavioral therapies.
Postpartum Depression
Postpartum depression treatment can offers mothers in Georgia a path back to joy and connection during what should be one of life’s most precious times.
Complex PTSD
Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) emerges from prolonged or repeated trauma, especially when the traumatic experiences occur during vulnerable developmental periods or in situations where the person cannot escape.
Stress Management
Stress is one of the leading causes of serious health conditions in the United States, contributing significantly to heart disease, diabetes, depression, anxiety disorders, and compromised immune function.
Self-Harm
For many individuals, self-harm is a coping mechanism used to deal with overwhelming emotions, anxiety, depression, or trauma. It can provide a temporary sense of relief but ultimately leads to more guilt, and shame.
How Are Mental Health Disorders Diagnosed?
Diagnosing mental health disorders requires a comprehensive approach. At Kingston Wellness Retreat, our mental health professionals conduct thorough assessments to ensure an accurate diagnosis.
This process includes:
- Psychiatric Evaluations: A detailed interview with one of our licensed psychiatrists to understand your symptoms, medical history, and family history.
- Psychological Testing: Standardized tests may be used to assess cognitive functioning, personality, and emotional well-being.
- Diagnostic Criteria: We use the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) to guide the diagnostic process and ensure a precise diagnosis.
