Residential therapies for mental health can improve your quality of life and help you cope with various mental health conditions. Mental health treatment isn't one-size-fits-all. What works for one patient may not work for another, even if they have similar conditions. Banyan Mental Health understands this, which is why we offer a range of therapy services to our residential and outpatient clients. Whether you come to us at our locations in Florida, Colorado, Pennsylvania, or Massachusetts, we will work closely with you to get you the treatment you need.
Understanding Mental Health Therapies at Banyan
Psychotherapy is a key component of mental health treatment at Banyan Mental Health. During psychotherapy, you talk with a psychologist or therapist, exploring your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may be causing distress. It helps you learn about how your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions can affect your moods. Most importantly, therapy gives you the tools you need to cope with and respond to challenging situations.
Many types of psychotherapy exist. The treatment that's right for you will depend on your condition and your goals. Usually, psychotherapy helps to treat:
- Various types of anxiety, including obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety, and general anxiety
- Depression and other mood disorders
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Substance use disorders or compulsive behaviors
- Personality disorders, including dependent personality or borderline personality disorder
- Schizophrenia
Psychotherapy is a collaborative process. Our therapists work alongside you to set goals, uncover underlying issues, and develop strategies for managing your mental health.

Our Range of Therapy Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Sometimes considered the "gold standard" of psychotherapies, CBT is effective at treating various mental health conditions, including anxiety, substance use disorders, depression, and eating disorders. Multiple studies have demonstrated the therapy's ability to improve patient functioning and overall quality of life. These studies have also shown CBT to be as effective, if not more effective, than other types of therapy or medications. During CBT, you work with your therapist to identify negative thoughts and behaviors. You then work on changing those thoughts and behaviors, by developing coping strategies.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Another type of talk therapy, DBT uses elements of CBT but is adapted for people who have very strong and intense emotions. DBT marries CBT with mindfulness techniques. During DBT, you learn to accept the reality of your life and your behaviors. You also learn coping strategies that allow you to change your negative behaviors, and in turn, change your life.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFT)
SFT is a goal-directed approach that emphasizes finding solutions rather than dwelling on problems. This short-term therapy helps you identify your strengths and resources to achieve specific, positive changes in your life. Compared to CBT or DBT, SFT focuses on how to treat a patient's problems, instead of digging into the "why" behind those problems.
Group Therapy
During group therapy, you work with one or multiple therapists in a group of patients with similar mental health conditions. Often, you have the option of combining group therapy sessions with one-on-one sessions. You may also decide only to participate in group sessions. The group setting provides peer support, shared learning experiences, and the opportunity to practice social skills.
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Motivational interviewing is a collaborative approach that helps you find your own motivation for change. It's particularly useful if you feel ambivalent about making life changes, such as overcoming addiction, coming out of a depression, or adopting healthier habits.
Art and Music Therapy
Art or music therapy uses creativity and artistic expression as a tool for healing. This type of therapy can help you process emotions, reduce stress, and improve self-awareness through the use of art. Art and music therapy are often beneficial for those who struggle with verbal expression.
Family Therapy
Family therapy involves working with family members to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and create a more supportive home environment. This approach recognizes the important role family dynamics play in mental health.
Equine Therapy
Interacting with horses in a therapeutic setting can help build confidence, teach responsibility, improve emotional regulation, and develop social skills. Equine therapy is often effective for those with trauma, autism, or behavioral issues.
Pet Therapy
During pet therapy, also known as animal-assisted therapy, you interact with trained animals, usually dogs or cats. The goal of the therapy is to promote emotional and physical healing.
In your session, you pet, play with, or simply be in the presence of a therapy animal. Pet therapy can be particularly beneficial if you're dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or social isolation.
Reality Therapy
Reality therapy is a client-centered approach that focuses on the present and future rather than past experiences. We use this method to help you take control of your life by making more effective choices. This therapy helps you evaluate your behaviors and make changes that lead to a more satisfying life. It's particularly effective for addressing relationship issues, addiction, and behavioral problems.
Biofeedback
Biofeedback uses technology to help you gain awareness and control over your body's physiological processes. By learning to regulate things like heart rate and muscle tension, you can reduce stress and manage symptoms of various mental health conditions.

Benefits of Therapy for Mental Health Recovery
Talk therapy is a key part of behavioral health recovery services. Once you and your therapist have found the right form of therapy for you, you're likely to notice several improvements in your mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
- Therapy equips you with tools to better manage your emotions. A meta-analysis of over 100 studies found that various forms of therapy effectively enhance emotion regulation skills, leading to reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression.
- One common goal of therapy is to help you develop healthier ways to cope with stress and life's challenges. Studies have explicitly looked at how coping skills can help patients with panic disorder or agoraphobia.
- During therapy, you learn how to improve interpersonal skills and build relationships. One study, which looked at couples' therapy, showed that therapy significantly improved relationship satisfaction and individual mental health.
- In therapy, you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, which can lead to improved mental health, according to one study.
- Therapy provides a path to healing if you've experienced trauma. Specialized trauma therapies have been shown to lead to significant symptom reduction and improved functioning in patients with PTSD.
- Often, the goal of therapy is to reduce your mental health symptoms and allow you to lead a normal life.
