About Arbor Wellness
Arbor Wellness is a Nashville-area mental health treatment center that helps adults facing issues like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and co-occurring substance use feel supported and understood. With a full menu of care options, clients can step into the level of support that matches where they are in their journey.
Heal with a Gentle, Trauma-Informed Approach
From day one, clients are treated as partners in their own care. Therapists use a trauma-informed approach, assuming there’s a story behind the symptoms. Staff are intentionally mindful of language, avoiding labels that make people feel “broken,” and instead focusing on what clients have survived and how resilient they are. Sessions are grounded in compassion, with space for clients to share what it’s like to struggle in a culture where people don’t talk openly about mental health.
Heal in a Space that Feels Good
Clients stay in a modern setting with double or private rooms, chef-prepared meals, and plenty of space to breathe. They can enjoy relaxation areas, outdoor patios, and access to fitness activities so they can move their bodies as they heal. On top of that, clients have access to a range of restorative amenities like a gym, ice bath, sauna, bio-sound therapy bed, massage chair, red light therapy, sound baths, and Tai Chi.
Prevent Gaps in Care before They Happen
At Arbor Wellness, discharge is the start of the next chapter, and they’re intentional about helping clients prepare for life after treatment. Before leaving, every client works with the team to create a clear, structured aftercare plan that fits real life. That might include referrals for outpatient therapy or psychiatry, step-down care, medication management follow-ups, safety planning, and coordination with family.
