About Skyway

A Better Approach to Mental Health

Realizing that past treatments and once-a-week outpatient visits were not creating the kind of long-term relief clients needed, we created Skyway Behavioral Health.

The Skyway Approach

Evidence-Based Treatment That Works

The only higher level of care setting in the Midwest to offer true Full Fidelity Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

DBT is one of the few approaches proven to help treat some of the most difficult-to-treat personality disorders, trauma, mood disorders, and eating disorders.

Specialized For
Trauma

Long-term recovery goals for you from clinicians that have spent entire careers researching, understanding, and treating trauma.

We believe that these goals are achieved from addressing root causes in addition to providing relief from your symptoms.

Redefining Intensive Treatment

Sometimes, once a week outpatient therapy does not provide enough support.

Accomplishing more together in less time and by providing a higher level of support between sessions by offering once a week outpatient sessions to 5 days a week partial hospitalization programming.

All Under One Roof

You’ll get everything you need in one place from a consistent treatment team.
