About Villa Kali Ma Women's Recovery Centers
Villa Kali Ma helps women heal from mental health disorders, trauma, addiction, and co-occurring conditions with integrative and holistic recovery programs. They focus on healing each aspect of the mind, body, and spirit with sustainable recovery programs for mental health, trauma, and addiction. Villa Kali Ma offers 2 treatment programs: Healing Trauma & Addiction and Healing Trauma & Co-Occurring Disorders. Villa Kali Ma provides treatment for women at all levels of care, including detox, residential treatment for trauma & substance use, residential treatment for trauma & co-occurring mental health issues, partial hospitalization treatment for trauma, partial hospitalization for trauma & substance use, and all levels of out-patient treatment. The mental health conditions they treat include anxiety, trauma, depression, panic disorder, major depressive disorder, and complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD).
Villa Kali Ma’s belief is that underlying all "diagnosed disorders" (addiction, depression, anxiety, attachment disorder, etc.) is pain. Emotional, mental and spiritual pain. They believe this pain is caused by memories of traumatic events, or by suppressed trauma residing deep in the subconscious mind. Villa Kali Ma’s treatment model takes women through a process of acknowledging, understanding, and then releasing this trauma. Their programs introduce women to practices they can use to reduce fear and negative self-talk to instead encourage self-compassion, forgiveness, and discovery of their higher Self within. Villa Kali Ma is a “How to Live” program designed to create sustainable recovery and wholeness in all aspects of life: biologically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually.
Villa Kali Ma provides individual and group therapy using dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), internal family systems therapy (IFS), and Somatic experiencing. Women meet 1:1 with their primary therapist twice a week, with additional 1:1 meetings for trauma therapy, including EMDR and Somatic therapies like Brainspotting. Women meet with their case manager once a week to communicate personal needs and begin creating an aftercare plan. In total, women meet with an individual therapist 5-6 times a week. Their experiential therapies include yoga, acupuncture, massage, expressive arts, Shamanic healing/journeying, breathwork, Ayurvedic healing, nutrition coaching, naturopathic medicine, craniosacral therapy, and Reiki. Villa Kali Ma also teaches lifestyle improvements, sustainable living, and organic gardening.
Residential stay times can last between 30-90 days. Following residential care, clients can step down to PHP level of care and into the community housing offered by Villa Kali Ma. After PHP, clients can continue their treatment in the IOP and OP levels of care for up to one year. Villa Kali Ma offers weekly online alumni group sessions led by some of their primary therapists. They also provide in-person alumni events, meetings, and workshops throughout the year.
