Modern Treatment with Over a Century‘s Experience

Ravensview is part of Homewood Health, a nationally renowned mental health organization with over 140 years of experience delivering private, medically based treatment services for mental health, addiction, and co-occurring disorders. They work closely with the Homewood Research Institute to incorporate research and clinical innovations that enhance treatment and improve outcomes. Specialized care and program planning begins with an extensive one-on-one assessment to identify issues and prioritize treatment plans, onsite withdrawal management and detox if required, and proven modalities including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), psychotherapy and cognitive processing therapy (CPT). Clients receive two weekly 1:1 sessions to support their individualized needs, and meet often for group sessions.

Specialized Programs for Life Stage & Lived Experiences

Ravensview offers dedicated programs that address the unique needs of adults, young adults, first responders, military, and veterans and incorporate a range of cognitive, dialectical, expressive, recreational, and pharmaceutical therapies. Their Integrated Chronic Pain Service is designed to treat not only chronic pain but also the complex interplay of mental health conditions that often accompany it. This physician-led, comprehensive program integrates medical, psychological, and physical therapies to provide clients with holistic care that addresses both the physical symptoms and psychological impacts of chronic pain. For clients with a history of treatment-resistant depression, Esketamine, an intranasal ketamine spray, may be an option recommended by the clinical team.
