Our Approach to Individualized Mental Health Care

Every man, woman, transgender, or non-binary identifying individual who walks through our doors is unique, and we offer individualized mental health care treatment in San Diego designed to meet each person’s needs. That’s why, instead of a typical one-size-fits-all program, we at Wings Recovery have separate men’s and women’s programs to work with you to create an individualized mental health treatment plan to meet your needs and ensure you gain the tools you need to heal and move forward in your life. 

A Team That Cares 

Wings was founded by a psychologist and a marriage and family therapist, both bringing extensive expertise in the mental health care treatment field. Through our years of experience helping patients through heart-wrenching issues to open up and heal, our staff understands first-hand the devastating effects that trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression can have on individuals and the lives of the people who love them. 

All of our therapists have at minimum a master’s degree in a mental health field and are licensed or registered with the state of California. And, unlike many other programs, all of our therapists receive training in the special skills needed to effectively treat trauma and trauma-based disorders. 

Individual Therapy 

Our therapists are trained in multiple types of one-on-one therapy, including EMDR, IFS, and other trauma-focused approaches, making our San Diego area trauma treatment program effective for PTSD, childhood trauma, and anxiety disorders

Group Therapy 

Your peers in recovery will understand, support, and lovingly challenge you as you progress through our intensive outpatient program (IOP) in San Diego area, or while stepping down from residential or PHP care.

Holistic Therapy

Balance your mind, body, and spirit with holistic mental health care treatment in San Diego area, where our integrative therapies are developed with total-body healing in mind.

Family Therapy

We understand the importance of family. That’s why we offer family or couples sessions when you are ready for them. These family or couples therapy sessions create a supportive environment where you can heal together, an essential part of our San Diego area residential mental health treatment and PHP/IOP programs. Family and/or couples therapy sessions focus on ways to improve communication, repair ruptures that have happened, and create goals and plans to move forward. 

Levels of Care

At Wings, we offer three levels of treatment. When you call our admissions team to learn about your mental health treatment options, we work with you to find the level that is right for you.

Residential Treatment Program 

When you are just beginning the process of recovery, you often need a safe place to go. Led by a professional, caring treatment team, our San Diego area residential treatment center will become a second home where you are ensured a safe environment free of distractions that could otherwise interfere with your recovery.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) 

When you are ready to step down from residential treatment and move back to your home, or if you decide to live in supportive housing, our PHP treatment program offers a safe, nurturing place for you to receive treatment during the day. PHP runs from 9 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday. It involves both individual and group therapy, including trauma-focused treatment and medication management. 

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) 

When you are ready to leave residential or PHP care but want to continue developing your coping skills and receiving support from your peers, our San Diego IOP program is a great option. IOP runs 3 hours a day and includes two individual therapy sessions per week.
