Warning Signs of Mental Distress

Although each mental health challenge has unique signs and symptoms, there are some common warning signs that indicate mental distress. These include:

  • Extreme changes in appetite

  • Sleep disturbances

  • Impaired functioning

  • Isolating from family and friends

  • Loss of interest in daily life

  • Intense irritability, agitation, or hostility

  • Extreme mood swings

  • Violent outbursts

  • Lack of interest in personal hygiene

  • Thoughts of suicide

  • Self-harm

Residential Mental Health Treatment

Our women’s residential treatment center provides a safe setting where you are surrounded by a caring team of mental health experts. Consider the many benefits of this level of care:

  • Gender specific treatment

    How a woman experiences the symptoms of a mental health disorder will often differ from a man. Treatment that is tailored specifically for women will be much more effective.

  • Case management

    A case manager is assigned to each patient to help schedule and coordinate treatment services.

  • Round-the-clock support

    24-hour support provides a safer treatment environment for both patients and staff.

  • Insurance accepted

    While coverage for mental health services varies from plan to plan, most insurance providers now offer some level of coverage.

  • More intensive treatment

    Residential treatment provides a deeper, more immersive approach to mental health treatment for moderate to severe cases.

What to Expect in a Residential Treatment Program for Women

EleMental Health’s women-only treatment program allows you to focus on the healing process without stress or distraction. Elements of care you will take part in include:

  • Medication

    In many cases, medication is prescribed to help manage and mitigate the symptoms of the mental health disorder.

  • Group therapy

    Group counseling sessions nurture a support system for peers in recovery.

  • Family or couples therapy

    Family members learn how they can be supportive of their loved one during and after treatment.

  • Individual therapy

    Using a wide range of evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavior therapy, the individual therapy sessions provide a safe space to explore underlying issues. In addition, EMDR is an effective adjunctive therapy for trauma-related conditions.

  • Holistic therapies

    Holistic activities can further enhance the effects of the traditional therapies while reducing stress. These include Yoga, Sound baths, Guided meditation, Art therapy, Gardening therapy, Bodywork and energy healing, Focused breath work, and Mindfulness meditation.

  • Nutrition and fitness

    For the best treatment outcomes, restoring healthy mental functioning also relies on sound physical functioning. This includes:

    • Hikes and other outdoor activities
    • Movement and fitness
    • Optimum nutrition

Your Daily Path to Healing

A carefully structured day that balances clinical care, rest, and connection.

  • 1. Start Your Day with Intention

    Each morning begins with a calm, structured routine designed to promote stability and wellness. Residents enjoy nourishing chef-prepared meals, personalized medication management, and quiet time to connect with loved ones or prepare for the day. Every element is thoughtfully designed to support emotional regulation and overall well-being.

  • 2. Personalized Clinical Care

    The heart of each day is dedicated to evidence-based therapy and individualized treatment. Women participate in meditation, group therapy, and one-on-one sessions that may include EMDR, Brainspotting, Neurofeedback, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, DBT, and other specialized approaches tailored to their unique treatment plans.

  • 3. Whole-Person Healing

    Healing extends beyond traditional therapy through holistic practices that nurture both body and mind. Afternoons include movement-based therapies such as trauma-informed yoga, breathwork, nature walks, sauna sessions, and Elemental-focused therapeutic groups centered on grounding, emotional healing, transformation, clarity, and personal growth. Throughout the day, residents also enjoy chef-prepared meals, personal reflection, and scheduled opportunities to connect with family.

  • 4. Rest, Reflection & Recovery

    Evenings focus on integration and restoration. Therapeutic groups help process the day’s experiences before transitioning into a peaceful nighttime routine with self-care, journaling, medication management, and healthy sleep practices. By prioritizing restorative rest, EleMental Health creates an environment where meaningful, lasting healing can continue every day.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Discover how EleMental Health has helped so many women reclaim their lives.

I had such an amazing and wonderful experience at Elemental. After completing my time there I feel like I made so much progress in my healing and recovery journey. I was very hesitant about entering treatment, but the staff there made the transition and experience very pleasant and worthwhile. I have never encountered a more accommodating staff in all my years in recovery. As an all women’s treatment facility the staff is all female which I greatly appreciated. I can honestly say each staff member always went above and beyond to make us clients feel safe, seen and heard. They made the whole process at Elemental one I’ll never forget and will surely carry with me for a lifetime. From the accommodations, to the groups, to the food and the one-on-one therapy – it was all so beautifully curated. You can feel how much this place cares about you as an individual, not just as some insurance policy like many other centers. I loved the home environment, it was very cozy and comfortable, and the meals were out of this world; something you don’t find at many other places.
If you’re a woman in need of mental health services I couldn’t recommend this place more. Thank you again to Elemental for a truly lifesaving experience.

I am in love with this facility. I have been through treatment many times about seven years exactly going into multiple residentials per year. Elemental Health however, has deeply impacted me and changed my perspective on my mental health and for the first time, I felt hope that I would be able to do this. Staff is absolutely incredible. These are people that genuinely want to help. Nicole The owner is absolutely an angel. She helped me when I was going through hard times with my daughter having surgery and she was able to get me more time there to process. The amount of care and love that these people show is a game changer. If I were to ever go back to Treatment again, I would come here! You guys have made the largest impact on me and my future and I couldn’t be more grateful!
 
Life-changing experience. The team at Ellemental truly cares and creates a safe, supportive environment for healing and growth. From the staff to the program itself, every part of my experience exceeded my expectations. I felt seen, heard, and supported every step of the way. The tools, guidance, and community I found here have made a lasting impact on my life. I am incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Ellemental to anyone looking for real support and transformation.
 
Elemental was amazing. This was the perfect place to do inner child work and unpack trauma. The house is beautiful and cozy and I was able to reset my nervous system through the mind body spirit somatic and emotional therapy. I enjoyed the pool and the sun deck. The chef is amazing and got my health back on track. The team is incredible. I loved the incorporation of art therapy as well. Overall wonderful experience
 
 
As a treatment provider myself, I’m extremely discerning about where I refer both my clients and my own loved ones—especially when it comes to residential mental health care for women. EleMental Health has consistently earned my trust through their compassionate, clinically sound, and truly holistic approach to treatment.

What sets EleMental apart is their deep understanding of the unique needs of women, particularly those navigating trauma and PTSD. Their inclusion of evidence-based modalities like EMDR and neurofeedback makes the program not just supportive, but transformative. The environment is warm and grounding, and their multidisciplinary team integrates emotional, psychological, physical, and spiritual healing in a way that feels both personalized and empowering.

I have referred clients to EleMental knowing they will be met with respect, care, and a therapeutic container that fosters true healing. For any woman in need of comprehensive mental health support, this is a place I recommend without hesitation.

It is owned and operated by two female clinicians as well, so I don’t have to worry that corporate interests are dictating or limiting client care.

 
 

As a clinician in the community with a group practice and many opportunities to refer to higher levels of care, I am always staying in touch with the latest and greatest in our community. I have had the pleasure of getting to know the work that is done at Elemental Health and I have been so impressed by the evidenced-based treatment and thoughtful care they are providing to the community. The space is breathtaking and peaceful and the chef is extraordinary.
The ladies that developed this program truly embody the term specialized as they do not fail to look at any and all possible underlying issues (which women often report are ignored in our medical community). They do so with full hormone and blood panels to assess physiological factors that can be influencing mental health.
Their ability to treat not just the symptoms but the root causes of mental and emotional pain is why they are so able to help individuals navigating challenges related to chronic pain, neurodivergence, and dissociative disorders—areas that many centers struggle to address with such care and clinical sophistication.
Elemental’s team brings a holistic and integrative approach to treatment, including modalities like somatic therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness practices, all grounded in clinical expertise. They truly meet each client where they are, tailoring care to the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.

 
 
This place literally saved my life❤️ Staff are amazing and caring. Absolutely recommend to anyone needing some guidance.
 
 
 

The first few days I was here I was having flashbacks and I crawled into bed, and Nicolle helped me move to the living room and ground w/ ice and peppermint essential oils, and I felt safe and seen for the first time in a long time. I did not know what it felt like to feel safe before I got here.

 

 
 
 

I think the biggest thing I’ve overcome since being here is that feeling that I need to do whatever OTHER people want. Now I know that I don’t owe anyone anything and I get to decide what I want to do with my life. I am allowed to put myself in safe situations and don’t have to feel guilty about that.

 

 
 
 

I have met so many safe people and it makes me feel more hopeful and like I deserve and am allowed to choose safe options. I feel more in control of my anxiety as well… I can choose healthy coping mechanisms and even if it takes longer for relief, the relief comes eventually.

 

 
 
 

I really enjoyed my time here, wonderful staff and very supportive group of individuals. Made me feel extremely safe & welcomed… The owners are some of the kindest individuals I’ve met… I’ve never seen such hardworking, caring people who spend day to night here making sure we are always okay!

 

 
 
 

I feel like I got a brain-cleanse — like my brain was dirty and it got scrubbed out. I’m more optimistic, kind to myself, resilient, able to process emotions, and excited for the future.

And: Life is about the little moments, and finding beauty and enjoyment on the journey.

 

 
 
 

It’s scary and it’s hard, but it’s also safe and it’s freeing. Every person who walks in this building wants to do whatever they can to help.

 

 
 
 

I overcame a ton of my most powerful limiting beliefs about myself, learned how to be independent and self-soothe, and learned how to process my emotions in a healthy way so they don’t spiral out of control.

 

 
 
 

I was in a very dark place before coming here. Thanks to EleMental, I finally feel in control again.
