It is no secret to those of us in the mental health field that there is overwhelming evidence to support yoga and exercise as powerful interventions for alleviating symptoms associated with stress, anxiety, and depression. There is robust research that shows that the physical movement associated with exercise and yoga is one of the most effective behavioral health techniques for self-regulation of mood. Yoga and exercise improve mood while at the same time significantly reducing symptoms associated with depression and anxiety.
We use a combination of Traditional and Natural Treatment Methods
At Waterford, we are committed to treating the whole person by utilizing both traditional and more natural treatment options that are evidence-based to treat stress, anxiety, and depression. We are dedicated to using a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy, supportive psychotherapy, and movement-based therapies, such as yoga and exercise, to help our patients achieve maximum positive treatment benefits.
Our Activity Center
We’ve created a unique 1,500 sq ft Activity Center designed to support whole-person care for children, teens, and adults. This space is dedicated to movement-based and activity-based approaches—such as exercise, mindful movement, yoga, and Zumba—as well as play therapy and interactive interventions that help younger clients engage in the therapeutic process in a developmentally appropriate way. Our fully licensed clinicians have specialized training in yoga and Zumba instruction, and we also work with a certified personal trainer, allowing us to thoughtfully supplement traditional psychotherapy with movement, mindfulness, and exercise-based supports tailored to each individual’s needs.
