About Georgia Strait Womens Clinic
After 15 years of helping women with mental health and addiction treatment, Georgia Strait Women's Clinic knows there is a significant need for specialized services for women with mental health, addiction, and trauma issues. They seek to provide specialized addiction and mental health care with a non-12-Step, evidence-based approach. Georgia Strait approaches treatment with strength-based, solutions-focused, and trauma-informed care.
Georgia Strait Women's Clinic believes that every client (woman, non-binary, transgender) deserves a highly skilled, compassionate, and curious team of professionals to help them. In their unique setup, Georgia Strait offers the services of a large facility with the privacy and attention found in a smaller one. Their therapists are all masters-level. They additionally have a 24/7 nursing team, a psychiatrist and addictionologist, and a medical doctor who assesses each woman before they begin treatment. Many on Georgia Strait’s team have walked through addiction themselves, placing them in a unique position of unmatched empathy and expert clinical knowledge.
Georgia Strait caters to women who have experienced trauma and who have mild to moderate disordered eating. In their unique atmosphere of support and safety, women can work through past traumas and gain the tools they need to flourish. Cell phone and laptop use allow women to stay connected with employers, employees, and family. On-staff nursing and clinical detoxification help keep women safe and comfortable at all stages of their treatment. Georgia Strait’s therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), Hakomi therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, art therapy, and hypnotherapy. Women join group therapies, 1:1 therapy, and can choose between various psychoeducational workshops when not in therapy.
Women have their own private, apartment-style suite to call home during treatment. Inside their rooms, women have a small kitchen, seating area, private bathroom, bedroom, and wireless internet. In Georgia Strait’s facility, women can enjoy their gym, yoga studio, group dining room and TV room, laundry facilities, and the quiet nature surrounding their centre. They can bring their pet, too.
Georgia Strait Womens Clinic accepts private insurances. They do not accept provincial or territorial insurances.
