Comprehensive, Trauma-Informed Treatment Solutions

SunCloud is dedicated to a highly personalized approach to address any condition their patients may face. Compassion guides each interaction throughout treatment, from the initial intake session to discharge planning. They conduct personalized intake sessions to ensure that their potential patients fully grasp their conditions, behavioral expectations in treatment and the necessary level of care required.

SunCloud's approach ensures that patients 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 patients with eating disorders by creating a treatment plan that works with each person's unique strengths, challenges, and needs. Their eating disorder treatment includes a combination of expressive and experiential therapy, skills-based therapies, 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 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 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. These treatments are used in conjunction with clinical talk therapy, group therapy, and medication management, as they are intended to assist in the healing process.

To help patients feel confident and live a life free of self-destructive thoughts and behaviors, they provide an alumni program with a weekly virtual support group, monthly events, and service opportunities.
