In Atlanta, Georgia, leading mental health providers deliver a revolutionary form of holistic therapy that treats the whole person.
This holistic approach recognizes that true mental wellness is achieved by addressing the root causes of mental health disorders and integrating both evidence-based psychotherapy and holistic treatment modalities.
The Summit Wellness Group combines traditional therapy services with innovative strategies to foster emotional healing and physical health.
Our Holistic Treatments
At the heart of our approach is a commitment to holistic treatments that honor mind, body, and spirit interconnectedness. We believe that true healing encompasses alleviating symptoms and enhancing overall well-being.
Yoga
Yoga takes a body-centered approach to healing depression, anxiety, and trauma. It helps improve concentration and brings us back in touch with our bodies.
Regular yoga practice can regulate cortisol levels. It also helps us notice emotions without immediately acting on them.
Paying attention to your breath during yoga can release negative feelings. It’s a way to rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit—especially when facing the intense stress of early sobriety.
Our RYT200-Certified Yoga Instructors guide you through restorative yoga, one of our most popular holistic rehab classes. Classes focus on gentle movement, stretching, breathwork, and balance, emphasizing breath awareness and relaxation.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy relaxes the body and eases joint tension by targeting pressure points. It boosts circulation and helps the lymphatic system work more effectively.
A good massage can increase body awareness, which is especially helpful for those healing from trauma. It’s one of the best ways to improve the quality of life during early recovery.
Massage therapy positively affects serotonin, dopamine, and cortisol—all of which are off-balance in early recovery. Because of this, massage has quickly become essential at both our rehab centers.
Guided Meditation
Guided Meditation in Our Moon Room, like yoga, is a serious stress-buster that leaves you feeling refreshed and energized.
Clients struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma find that meditation creates inner peace and sharpens brain function. Practicing regularly can even help reset your fight-or-flight response.
Making meditation part of your weekly routine can improve sleep and help you detach from intrusive thoughts and impulses. That’s a big win for reducing cravings and preventing relapse.
Once a week, our instructors guide you through meditation in our “moon room.” This dimly lit oasis features moon pods—special anti-anxiety float chairs—for maximum comfort. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and just be still.
Adventure Activities
Adventure activities let you step outside rehab and experience the world while connecting with peers. Whether hiking, grabbing coffee, bowling, or visiting horse farms, there’s always something new to try—and maybe even a new sober hobby to discover.
Experiential therapy offers a break from the monotony of talk therapy. People often find that engaging in activities helps them uncover and process feelings they didn’t even know they had.
Outdoor activities also challenge the idea that fun and socializing require drugs or risky behavior. That stereotype just isn’t true. These experiences show that building strong bonds and having a blast in recovery is possible, and no substances are required.
Finding new, healthy hobbies is key. Dopamine, the neurotransmitter tied to pleasure, needs to be regulated in recovery. Outdoor activities give people a natural high and help keep spirits up—plus, sunlight boosts serotonin and vitamins D and K.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care relieves tension in the body and brings you back into alignment. Physical misalignment can add unnecessary stress and pain.
Like yoga and meditation, chiropractic care can help lower cortisol levels. It also supports the function of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.
Since every body is different, our therapist uses various techniques to restore balance and proper function to your nervous system.
Nutritional Program
“You are what you eat” isn’t just an old saying—it has some truth. Eating high-quality whole foods just makes you feel better.
Many in recovery have years of unhealthy eating behind them. A nutritious diet can heal the body, strengthen the immune system, and naturally restore dopamine levels.
We weave conscious cooking into our programs, sharing knowledge about the benefits of different foods. Clients get hands-on experience with healthy recipes and learn how to make them at home.
Therapeutic Fitness
Our fitness class welcomes everyone, regardless of experience. The focus is on interval training—mobility, flexibility, and functional fitness to get the body moving.
Exercise is a vital piece of the healing puzzle. It releases endorphins, which help to healthily ease anxiety and depression.
Gail, our RYT200 and CPT, acts as your trainer. We tailor workouts to your needs and pick equipment that works for you. Building physical strength often leads to greater mental strength, too.
Art Therapy
Art can be a powerful outlet for emotions and a way to express yourself. Art exercises help process experiences that are tough to talk about or face directly.
Creating art together can become a form of group therapy, as clients share with peers. The hands-on process requires focus and can be surprisingly therapeutic.
Combining art therapy with a 12-step program seems to boost the chances of successful outcomes. Sometimes, creativity is the good medicine.
Integrating Evidence-Based and Holistic Therapies for Comprehensive Care
Mental health treatment emphasizes a comprehensive approach integrating evidence-based practices and alternative holistic therapies. This dual approach aims to provide patients with a well-rounded treatment plan tailored to their individual needs.
Collaboration Between Clinicians and Holistic Therapists
- Collaborative Efforts: Clinicians, such as psychologists and psychiatrists, work alongside holistic therapists, who may practice therapies like acupuncture, massage, or nutritional counseling. This team approach fosters a more inclusive environment for patient care.
- Customized Treatment Plans: The collaboration between these professionals allows for the development of personalized treatment plans that consider various factors, including the patient’s mental health history, lifestyle, and preferences.
Goals of the Comprehensive Treatment Approach
The integration of these therapies is designed to:
- Enhance Overall Well-Being: By addressing mental health issues through various lenses, patients can experience a more complete healing process.
- Target Specific Mental Health Issues: The collaborative nature allows for precise targeting of conditions like depression, anxiety, and others.
- Boost Self-Esteem: Many therapeutic techniques, especially holistic practices, empower patients by helping them recognize their strengths and abilities.
- Improve Self-Awareness: Through reflective practices and the insights gained from therapy, patients often gain a better understanding of themselves, which can lead to personal growth.
Balanced and Holistic Mental Health Service
The ultimate aim of this integrated approach is to provide:
- Balanced Care: By combining evidence-based and holistic therapies, this method ensures that mental and physical health aspects are considered.
- Whole-Person Focus: Each session is structured to account for the individual as a whole, rather than isolating mental health from physical wellness. This fosters a more profound healing experience.
This innovative blend of comprehensive treatment plans and programs represents a significant advancement in mental health care. By acknowledging and addressing both mental illness and physical health, practitioners work towards achieving an optimal state of well-being for each patient.
