Intensive Behavioral Health Treatment Tailored For Each Individual

Trauma can change how people see themselves and the world around them.

Those struggling with mood, anxiety, or eating disorders often believe they’re at fault or simply need more motivation. We help uncover and heal the deeper causes by treating the person as a whole, not just the 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

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Complex / Attachment / Relational Trauma
Systemic Trauma
Anxiety Disorders
Mood Disorders
Eating Disorders / Disordered Eating
Personality Disorders

Explore Our Day Treatment Programs

When life feels unmanageable, the right level of structure and support can make all the difference. Our day programs are designed to help you regain balance through compassionate, evidence-based care.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

PHP offers full-day, structured care for those needing more intensive support. You’ll participate in therapy and wellness-focused activities during the day, then return home in the evening, combining the guidance of clinical treatment with the comfort of your own space.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

IOP provides a flexible treatment option for those stepping down from PHP or seeking support while maintaining work, school, or family commitments. IOP focuses on building coping skills, strengthening emotional resilience, and supporting lasting recovery.

Esketamine Spravato® Treatment

Esketamine (Spravato) treatment offers an innovative option for adults with treatment-resistant depression. Administered in a safe, clinical setting under professional supervision, this program helps reduce depressive symptoms and improve overall mood and functioning.

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.”
