Wings Recovery for Men
Wings Recovery for Men provides comprehensive mental health treatment for men. We specialize in the treatment of severe mental health issues including PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, and suicidal ideation.
Gender Specific Treatment
Safe Environment
Wings Recovery for Men was founded by two therapists–a psychologist and a marriage and family therapist. With their extensive experience in the mental health treatment field they realized men were not getting the help they needed in an environment that focused on their issues without outside distractions. Through their years of experience helping patients with heart-wrenching traumatic issues open up and heal they decided to create a place where men can recover in the presence of other men who understand their experience and who can relate to their struggles. Wings Recovery for Men is a safe and confidential setting where men can address the trauma and underlying mental health issues that prevent them from living their lives to the fullest. At Wings Recovery for Men we understand first-hand the devastating effects that trauma and mental illness can have on individuals, their careers and the lives of the people who love them.
Treating Underlying Mental Health Issues
Wings Recovery for Men addresses the full range of mental health issues, and specializes in the treatment of PSTD, relational and development trauma, dissociative disorders, grief, depression, anxiety, anger related concerns and maladaptive coping skills such as substance use, aggression, and infidelity. You don’t have to know you have trauma in your past. Many people live with the effects of trauma without knowing that their life experiences have been traumatic. Even when PSTD is not a primary diagnosis there are often relational and development traumas that underly other mental health issues and substance abuse.
