After 15 years of helping women with mental health and addiction treatment, Georgia Strait Women's Clinic knows there is a significant need for specialized services for women with mental health, addiction, and trauma issues. They seek to provide specialized addiction and mental health care with a non-12-Step, evidence-based approach. Georgia Strait approaches treatment with strength-based, solutions-focused, and trauma-informed care.Expert, Empathetic ProfessionalsGeorgia Strait Women's Clinic believes that every client (woman, non-binary, transgender) deserves a highly skilled, compassionate, and curious team of professionals to help them. In their unique setup, Georgia Strait offers the services of a large facility with the privacy and attention found in a smaller one. Their therapists are all masters-level. They additionally have a 24/7 nursing team, a psychiatrist and addictionologist, and a medical doctor who assesses each woman before they begin treatment. Many on Georgia Strait’s team have walked through addiction themselves, placing them in a unique position of unmatched empathy and expert clinical knowledge.Specialized Programming for Each WomanGeorgia Strait caters to women who have experienced trauma and who have mild to moderate disordered eating. In their unique atmosphere of support and safety, women can work through past traumas and gain the tools they need to flourish.
