Wellspring offers a program of sound mental health counseling by trained professionals, psycho-educational workshops, and individualized care to victims of chronic psychological trauma as incurred in families, groups, or relationships. Ours is a residential facility specializing in treating victims of cultic abuse. Wellspring has treated more than 1000 clients who suffered from a wide variety of abusive situations including cult involvement, battering, professional abuse (therapists, clergy, teachers) and exploitative organizations and relationships.
We strive to achieve the following treatment goals:
- Enable the client to live without dependence on the group or relationship.
- Integrate the traumatic experience into the individual's life.
- Activate critical thinking skills.
- Assist the victim in ridding himself or herself from shame and self-blame associated with the experience.
- Reframe the abusive experience in terms of standard counseling principles in order to facilitate more meaningful counseling and therapy after discharge.
- Assist the client in the development of a plan for treatment and/or social reintegration after leaving Wellspring.
