The Wellness Academy is an eight-week program that provides for at least three-days a week of comprehensive therapeutic programming. Our academy is unique in that we create individualized treatment plans specifically for each client and their needs. Our program begins with a thorough evaluation, facilitated by our Clinical Director, Danielle Thomassy, LCSW, CAP, CCTP. We will assess your personal struggles, needs, and goals for treatment to ensure you are receiving the support you desire. It is important that clients are informed about the nature of our academy, treatment goals, and what to expect over the eight-weeks of programming. We want our clients to feel safe from the start, which can only begin with complete openness, honesty, and transparency on our end.

During your time at The Academy, you will participate in evidenced-based classes. You will be assigned an individual therapist, who you will meet throughout the week outside of group hours. Throughout your course of individual therapy, you will focus on uncovering the root of your pain so you can work through various mental health issues, underlying areas of self-sabotage, and self-destructive behavior, and so you can find meaning and purpose in life.

Our program is Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT) focused, which research has shown to be effective in treating Borderline Personality Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Eating Disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, mood instability, and Substance Use Disorders. DBT uses a combination of science-based techniques, dialectical philosophy, and “Zen” practice which aims to help people build “life worth living.” Our curriculum based group therapy program is inclusive: 

• DBT focused therapy skills
• Restorative yoga
• Intuitive eating,
• Expressive art therapy
