Pigeon Forge

Within the three levels of care offered at our Pigeon Forge mental health treatment center, clients may receive several types of therapy and treatment for their mental health conditions. Talk therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), is commonly used. But, our staff understands that talk therapy is just one piece of the wellness puzzle for many clients.

In CBT, clients are taught to recognize negative thought patterns and redirect them before they become cognitive distortions. In the context of therapy, cognitive distortions are lies our brains can tell us about how strong, intelligent, or capable we are. Clients may learn how to combat these thoughts to ultimately improve their mental health and self-esteem. 

Our trained staff may also use other types of talk therapy, such as dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, to help clients achieve goals. Other treatment options we rely on include:

• Medication Management. Medications can often boost emotional management skills clients may learn in talk therapy. Many individuals use medications like antidepressants, mood stabilizers, or antipsychotics to manage symptoms. This can make navigating treatment with fewer obstacles a possibility.
• Family Systems Therapy. Your loved ones likely play an important part in helping you achieve mental health and well-being. Communicating openly and honestly with them about your conditions can be extremely helpful.
• Experiential Therapy. This type of mental health treatment can allow clients to get some hands-on, interactive time doing crafts like yoga, art, music, or outdoor activities on the beautiful Tennessee land outside the center.
