Outpatient Treatment Tailored For Each Individual

Many trauma survivors see the world and themselves differently because of their experiences. We go deeper to treat the whole person, not just their diagnosis.

If you are feeling exhausted and misunderstood, know that you are not broken and that you don’t need to be “fixed.” You’re right where you need to be.

We welcome all genders ages 18 and up.

What We Treat

Skyway Behavioral Health Was Built For You

Do you:

Feel disconnected from your surroundings, other people, or your own life?
Get overwhelmed in situations that don’t seem to bother anyone else?
Get sick of being told that you are “too much” or “overreacting,” or that “this is just the way life is?”
Feel like you’re not making progress toward your goals, even though you’ve spent a lot of time in therapy and/ or on medication?

A Different Approach to Trauma Treatment

Your symptoms could indicate more than a traditional diagnosis. They could be an expression of painful experiences that can rewire your brain toward certain behaviors and symptoms needed to survive or cope.

The Skyway Road to Healing does more than just manage your symptoms by treating the underlying causes behind them so you can live the life you want.

Skyway's Inclusivity Pledge

Skyway Behavioral Health is committed to maintaining an environment that encourages safety for marginalized and traumatized communities and challenges traumatic systems. Our center is one community, from leadership to staff to clients, and mindfulness is woven into the fabric of our organization to keep open, judgment-free dialogue, accountability, and transformative justice at the forefront.

Every client is treated like the unique human they are at Skyway. It’s a critical part of our mission to provide responsive care that holds space for individuals to heal from all kinds of systemic trauma and empowers them to take pride in who they are.

Our community celebrates challenging norms, encourages body diversity, supports sexual and gender diversity, BIPOC, and other people of color. We maintain this safe healing environment by hiring diverse staff, providing accessible furniture and a gender-neutral bathroom, and continuously working to remove bias from group therapy.

Client Testimonials

“During my time at Skyway, I learned so much about myself, how trauma affects the body, and different distress tolerance skills that are effective for me. Skyway provides a huge sense of community. I felt welcomed, cared about, valued, and safe the second I got there by both staff and other clients in the program. The staff are all so knowledgeable, warm, and personable. They are amazing at what they do and strive to meet the individual needs of each client, taking all personal recommendations into account. I’ve been in other treatment programs in the past and none of them even come CLOSE to Skyway. As happy I was to be at the point where I felt confident and ready to discharge from the program, I was sad knowing how much I’d miss everyone there. They became family to me and are such a big part of my journey to healing that I will forever be grateful for.”

“Skyway is a transformative place that allows clients to grow in a nurturing and safe environment. When I first came to Skyway, I was really struggling and through the program I was able to gain skills and knowledge that helped improve my mental health and also set me up for a successful future beyond Skyway. It has been a privilege and pleasure to come to Skyway everyday and I am so grateful for the experience.”

“The therapists and staff at Skyway are some of the kindest and most knowledgeable human beings I have ever met. They helped me develop concrete skills to use in my everyday life while also providing a safe space for me to cry, laugh, process my feelings, and expand my self-knowledge. Through treatment at Skyway, I have become more in tune with my emotions and bodily sensations. I have also gained the necessary tools, confidence, and self-compassion to build myself a life worth living. Throughout every step of my journey, from my initial intake to my completion of treatment, I felt cared for and supported. I am so glad I chose to undergo treatment at Skyway, where I was provided with an invaluable support network of people who genuinely care about their clients’ well-being.”
