Comprehensive, Trauma-Informed Treatment Solutions

SunCloud is dedicated to a highly personalized approach to address any condition their clients may face. Compassion guides each interaction throughout treatment, from the initial intake session to discharge planning. SunCloud takes pride in conducting thorough and personalized intake sessions led by therapists to ensure that their potential clients fully grasp their conditions, behavioral expectations in treatment and the necessary level of care required. SunCloud's truly integrative approach ensures that clients receive comprehensive care from a multidisciplinary team, including a psychiatrist to oversee medication, a therapist, a registered dietitian, a registered nurse practitioner, a family therapist, and a drug and alcohol counselor if necessary. SunCloud recognizes that most individuals have experienced some level of trauma, whether discrete or chronic, contributing to their condition. From day one, they address trauma using evidence-based therapies, while fostering an environment of safety, trust, collaboration, and empowerment.

A Pathway to Eating Disorder Recovery

The team at SunCloud helps clients with eating disorders by creating a treatment plan that works with each client’s unique strengths, challenges, and needs. Their eating disorder treatment includes a combination of expressive and experiential therapy, skills-based therapies, eye movement therapy (EMDR), psychoeducation about eating disorders, and family therapy. They also offer innovative and holistic therapies like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), nutrition courses, and body image therapy combined with yoga. SunCloud uses health at every size (HAES) principles, emphasizing body weight neutrality and valuing diversity. Their treatment centers on restoring energy, sanity, and health in physical, emotional, social, and spiritual domains.

Advanced Treatment and Continued Care

SunCloud offers innovative treatments to complement evidence-based therapies and medication management. They proudly offer Spravato, a ketamine nasal spray, as a treatment for individuals with treatment-resistant depression. Additionally, they provide transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which can help reduce depressive symptoms like restlessness, sleep loss, irritability, and shortness of breath. These groundbreaking treatments are used in conjunction with clinical talk therapy, group therapy, and medication management, as they are intended to assist in the healing process. When leaving treatment at SunCloud, clients can feel confident as they go on to live a life free from self-destructive thoughts and behaviors. They provide an alumni program with a weekly virtual support group, monthly events, and service opportunities.
