Healing starts with connection and support—New Leaf’s team creates a safe, respectful environment where clients can rediscover stability, resilience, and mental wellness.

Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health. However, for many, reaching out for support can feel like the most challenging step. At New Leaf Detox and Treatment, we understand how overwhelming it can be to live with depression, trauma, addiction, or other mental health challenges. Life doesn’t come with a pause button, and struggling alone can make everything feel even heavier.

We’re here to make that first step easier. Our team provides compassionate care using evidence-based treatment in a supportive environment where you’re treated with respect and dignity. Whether you’re dealing with a recent crisis or a long-term issue, we’ll work with you to create a treatment plan that meets you where you are. Healing is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone.

Mental Health Conditions We Treat

Your story is your own — and your care should be, too. That’s why New Leaf offers individualized treatment for a wide range of mental health challenges. Some of the conditions that we commonly treat include:

Depression–Persistent low mood, loss of interest in activities and daily life, fatigue, feelings of hopelessness or despair
Anxiety Disorders–Generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, and other related conditions
Trauma & PTSD–Past or recent trauma and post-traumatic stress symptoms
Co-Occurring Disorders–Mental health challenges that exist alongside substance use disorder (SUD)
Bipolar Disorder– A mental health condition characterized by alternating periods of mania (highs) and depression (lows)

These are just some of the mental health disorders we often see, and it’s by no means a complete list. Everyone’s situation is different, and that’s why we create treatment plans for each person in our care. New Leaf creates personalized treatment plans using evidence-based therapies to help you feel better and regain control of your life.

Mental Health Treatment Options at New Leaf

Mental health care has evolved—and so has the way we talk about it. More people are seeking help for mental illness and substance abuse, and the options for support are broader, more compassionate, and more effective than ever.

At New Leaf Detox and Treatment, we believe everyone deserves access to care that meets them where they are—using approaches rooted in both science and empathy.
Here are some of the methods we use to support healing and recovery:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you make sense of how your thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected. With guidance, you’ll learn to recognize unhelpful patterns and build more effective ways of thinking and coping. CBT can be especially effective in treating those with a substance use disorder (SUD) and mental health struggles.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is based on CBT, but it’s designed especially for people who feel emotions very intensely. It helps you understand how your emotions influence your behavior—and teaches you skills to manage them in healthier ways. DBT is often helpful for those who struggle with self-harm, intense mood swings, or thoughts of suicide.

Family Behavioral Therapy

Family Behavioral Therapy (FBT) creates a space for loved ones to understand better what the individual is going through—and how they can support the recovery process. It also gives the individual a chance to begin rebuilding trust, repairing relationships, and healing together with those closest to them. FBT helps set everyone up for long-term success with compassion, communication, and shared understanding.

Holistic Therapies

The body and mind are deeply connected, and New Leaf believes that a “whole person” approach is the most effective way to support each individual. We aren’t focused solely on your mental health condition or addiction—we see you as a multi-faceted person, defined by much more than a diagnosis. Treatment goes beyond medication and talk therapy. Yoga, art therapy, nutritional coaching, and exercise are just a few examples of the holistic tools we incorporate to support your overall well-being.

Everyone’s path to healing looks a little different, and the approaches we’ve shared are just a few of the ways we support you—this isn’t an exhaustive list. Whether you’re starting treatment for the first time or coming back after a setback, New Leaf is here to walk with you every step of the way.

What to Expect in Mental Health Treatment

New Leaf values the individuality of everyone who walks through our doors—no two treatment plans are the same. An effective plan puts your struggles, fears, hopes, and goals front and center, tailoring care to what matters most to you.

Here’s a general outline of how we work to personalize and optimize your treatment experience:

Personalized Care–A thorough assessment of your needs and goals is administered to create a treatment plan specifically tailored to benefit you optimally.
Therapy and Support–Depending on your needs, individual therapy and/or group therapy is provided in a safe, compassionate, supportive environment to help you develop coping skills and tools so that you can thrive moving forward.
Progress and Tools–Treatment doesn’t abruptly end the minute you leave — we will offer options for aftercare and ongoing support for as long as you need them.

Just as your body needs consistent care and attention, so does your mental health. Treatment is often the first step—helping you get grounded so you can move forward toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. In a world that feels increasingly uncertain, prioritizing your mental health isn’t just important—it’s essential.
