Description

Organization Description:

Windhorse Integrative Mental Health is a semi-residential therapeutic community that uses a mindfulness and relationship-based philosophy in working with individuals experiencing mental health issues such as depression, psychosis, and trauma. Our treatment approach is a holistic alternative to more orthodox mental health treatment modalities.

At Windhorse, teams of 4-8 clinicians work together to offer a tremendous amount of support and 1-on-1 time to clients. Clinicians meet with clients for typically 3 hours at a time, perhaps several times per week, partaking in activities that support healing in client homes or out and about in the community such as hiking, sharing a meal, getting coffee, volunteering, taking a class together, etc. Please review our website ( to learn more about our philosophy and to ensure alignment with the Windhorse approach.
