Whole Person, Not Half of One
How does Still Mind use holistic therapy?
Still Mind uses holistic therapy as whole-person care wrapped around a medical core. Art, experiential, and mindfulness therapies, plus movement and nutrition, run daily alongside psychiatry, medication management, and CBT and DBT. The clinical treatment stays central; holistic work supports it.
A medical core, not an alternative to it
Psychiatry and medication management stay central. Holistic therapies wrap around that core rather than replacing it, so nothing evidence-based is traded away.
Art therapy
Daily group art therapy gives clients a way to express what is hard to put into words, which is often where recovery starts to move.
Experiential therapy
Experiential therapy teaches through doing, not only talking, so new coping skills are felt in the body and remembered.
Mindfulness and paced breathing
Mindfulness-based CBT and the paced breathing clinicians teach on day one calm the nervous system enough for the deeper work to land.
Movement and green space
The property has multiple outdoor movement areas and green space, and time outside is built into the daily structure, not an afterthought.
Nutrition
Catered meals three times a day, with any dietary restriction accommodated, because sleep, food, and routine are part of psychiatric recovery.
Residential Mental Health Treatment
24/7 stabilization-first psychiatric care for adults. Holistic therapies run daily inside the program, alongside 7-day psychiatric coverage, formal CBT and DBT, and weekly individual sessions.

The Definition
What is holistic therapy?
Holistic therapy treats the whole person, mind, body, emotions, and relationships, rather than symptoms in isolation. In mental health, it pairs evidence-based psychiatric care with art, movement, mindfulness, and nutrition, so recovery addresses how a person lives, not only what they were diagnosed with.
A diagnosis is one part of a person. Sleep, food, movement, creativity, and the people around them shape recovery just as much. Holistic therapy treats those dimensions together instead of one at a time, with the medical work always at the center.
What We Offer
What holistic therapies does Still Mind offer?
Still Mind offers art therapy, experiential therapy, mindfulness-based CBT, movement across outdoor green space, catered nutrition, and on-site brain mapping and TMS. Each runs inside a licensed residential program, alongside daily group therapy and weekly individual sessions.
These are not add-ons booked separately. They are woven into the daily schedule beside the evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy that anchor treatment. Brain mapping and TMS use guided visual and auditory stimulation in a calm, dark-room setting to help process trauma and quiet an overactive nervous system.
Grounded, Not a Getaway
Is holistic therapy evidence-based?
At Still Mind, holistic therapy is not alternative medicine in place of treatment. Art, experiential, and mindfulness therapies complement psychiatry, medication, and CBT and DBT. The clinical core stays evidence-based, and holistic care is added to support it, never to replace it.
The word holistic gets attached to a lot of things that are not treatment. At Still Mind it means something specific: a Joint Commission accredited, AHCA licensed, physician-led program with a psychiatrist on-site every weekday. Clients are medically and psychiatrically stabilized first. The fuller holistic work carries its weight only once that foundation is set.
Holistic here is grounded and clinical, not a spa or wellness retreat. The goal is recovery, measured against a treatment plan and reassessed every two weeks, not a vacation. Whole-person care is how the plan is delivered, not a substitute for it.
