About Windhorse Integrative Mental Health

  • A woman smiling and talking to a man outdoors with green trees in the background.

    Dignity, Clarity, and Connection

    An alternative to hospitalization, Windhorse uses mindfulness-informed clinical teams and therapeutic households to support our clients’ recovery journey. Through this strong web of support, clients experience the same level of dignity and respect as their peers whose lives have not been disrupted by mental health challenges—they are actively engaged in their community, creating a life of meaning and independence.

    Windhorse is Unique

    Unlike other programs, our clients experience:
    · Community-based living with a therapeutic housemate
    · Over 40 hours each week of one-on-one clinical/relational support
    · Individually designed teams that respond to a client’s changing needs
    · A therapeutic community with an abundance of gatherings and groups

    Relationships are Medicine

    Extreme, life-disrupting mind states are often paired with isolation, but recovery is best discovered in relationship. By cultivating genuine and compassionate connection, we invite our clients to relax into who they are authentically — beneath turmoil and distress — reconnecting at their own pace with others and the world around them.

Our Principles of Recovery

  • Significant recovery is a real possibility

  • Sanity is always present even within a confused mind state

  • Mental health challenges are disruptions in the balance of body-mind-environment

  • Recovery requires community and compassionate care

  • Compassionate care can be taught and cultivated in every person
