Women's Health Project

The Women's Health Project (WHP) is dedicated to providing and developing specific treatments for women with mental health disorders who struggle with addictions. For those women who have experienced trauma or abuse, the program provides a supportive, multi-modal outpatient treatment environment. For women with addiction, the treatment is designed to address the issues involved in recovering from substance use in the context of significant anxiety, mood disorders and other psychiatric symptoms.

Treatment Approach
•	WHP offers a range of treatment alternatives, including time-limited, cognitive-behavioral and interpersonal treatment models
•	Treatment plans vary based on client needs. Length of treatment is individualized according to client progress and need for ongoing care
•	WHP offers psychopharmacological consultation and management
•	WHP also provides adjunctive psychological services for women who attend methadone maintenance programs or other substance abuse treatments
•	In addition to individual psychotherapy, group therapy is an integral part of WHP. Specific groups focus on issues such as: post traumatic stress disorder, substance use, relapse prevention, HIV risk reduction, parenting, distress and anger management, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills training, and other special needs
•	Recognizing that individuals come to treatment with different levels of motivation, we also utilize motivational enhancement techniques to facilitate treatment participation, enabling clients to benefit from therapy according to their readiness for treatment

Staffing

• Psychologists
