What is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy, often referred to as “talk therapy,” is a structured process that involves working with a licensed therapist to explore and address emotional and psychological challenges. This process can take place in a group setting or an individual setting, one-on-one. At Wood Dragon Inn, we provide personalized psychotherapy services to help you understand and navigate your unique thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.Â
Our therapy sessions are designed to be compassionate and non-judgmental, offering both individual and group sessions based on your unique needs. By engaging in meaningful conversations with our experienced therapists, you will gain insights into the root causes of your emotional issues, develop healthier coping strategies, and build healthier habits to return to your daily life feeling refreshed and capable.
Evidence-Based Therapies for Mental Health
Alongside our holistic treatments, Wood Dragon Inn provides evidence-based therapies proven to help individuals manage mental health conditions and achieve lasting recovery. These therapies are integrated into our treatment programs to ensure a balanced, personalized approach to healing.
1. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
CBT is an evidence-based approach that identifies and changes negative thought patterns and behaviors. By teaching clients how to reframe these thoughts and develop healthier mental habits, CBT helps manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. This approach promotes emotional resilience and equips clients with practical tools to improve their well-being.
2. Mindfulness-based therapy
Mindfulness therapy teaches clients to stay present and in the moment. This practice is particularly effective for managing anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm. By incorporating mindfulness into therapy, clients learn to regulate their emotions, reduce negative thinking, and respond more thoughtfully to life’s challenges.
3. Trauma-informed care
For individuals who have experienced trauma, our trauma-informed approach to residential mental health treatment prioritizes safety and emotional well-being. This therapy is designed to help clients process difficult experiences in a compassionate, non-intrusive manner, ensuring they can heal at their own pace. By focusing on emotional safety, trauma-informed therapy helps individuals feel empowered as they move through their recovery journey.

Holistic Modalities for Comprehensive Healing
At Wood Dragon Inn, we believe that true healing encompasses the mind, body, and spirit. To complement our evidence-based services, including various forms of psychotherapy, we offer several holistic therapies that support overall well-being and recovery.Â
These modalities work alongside traditional mental health treatments to create a more comprehensive treatment experience that focuses on healing the whole person rather than just their symptoms:
1. Qi Gong
Qi Gong is an ancient Chinese practice that blends physical movement, meditation, and controlled breathing to improve the flow of energy, or Qi, within the body. This practice helps reduce stress, enhance mental clarity, and promote physical well-being. Qi Gong is an effective tool in the recovery process, guiding clients to find balance, calm, and renewed energy as they work through their mental health challenges.
2. Acupuncture
A central component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing. Acupuncture helps regulate the body’s energy flow, relieve pain, and manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma. It promotes relaxation, emotional balance, and overall well-being, making it a valuable addition to standard mental health care.
3. Herbology and Dietetics
Herbology uses natural, plant-based remedies to support mental and physical health. At Wood Dragon Inn, we create personalized herbal treatments with dietary plans to enhance the body’s natural healing processes. These remedies help boost immune function, improve energy levels, and promote mental wellness, supporting the body’s long-term health.
4. Massage Therapy
Massage therapy at Wood Dragon Inn alleviates physical tension, reduces discomfort, and promotes deep relaxation. By addressing the physical manifestations of stress and anxiety, massage therapy supports emotional healing and enhances the overall recovery process. This hands-on technique helps clients release built-up tension, promoting a sense of calm and balance.
These holistic therapies are seamlessly integrated into our treatment programs, offering clients a well-rounded and profoundly supportive healing experience beyond traditional medicine.
