How Your Therapy Is Chosen
Your therapy is chosen with you, not from a menu. After your assessment, a clinician builds a plan around what you are being treated for, drawing on Sol’s eleven therapy modalities: art groups, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills groups, EMDR, group therapy, holistic therapy, mindfulness meditation, music groups, somatic therapy and trauma therapy. Some are core clinical treatment with strong research behind them, and some gently support that work. We treat women across three levels of care in Riverside, and the mix changes with the level and with you.
We have grouped them by the role each one plays rather than alphabetically, so you can see how they fit together. Some of the names also overlap, and we explain where further down the page.
What a Week Actually Contains
Most of the week is group work with other women, with individual sessions alongside it. That rhythm is one of the biggest differences between an outpatient program and weekly therapy, and it gives you many chances each week to practice new skills.
Our groups usually run at about six to eight women. With fewer people in the room, there is more space to speak up, ask your questions and be truly heard.
The core approaches below carry the clinical treatment. The supporting approaches are meaningful parts of the week that help you settle, connect and stay engaged alongside that work.
Medication management is included for every client, with weekly psychiatry visits, and it runs alongside therapy rather than instead of it.
Core Clinical Approaches
These carry the clinical treatment, and each has research behind it for the conditions it is used for.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Changing the thinking and behavior patterns that keep a condition running. Used across depression, anxiety and substance use.
DBT Skills Groups
Skills for intense emotion, distress and relationships. Developed for borderline personality disorder. Sol runs the skills groups rather than the full four-part DBT model.
EMDR
Processing traumatic memory. Carries the VA and Department of Defense guideline’s strongest rating for PTSD.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Building room to carry difficult thoughts and feelings while still doing what matters to you. Run as a group here.
Supporting Approaches
These are part of the week, and women often value them highly. They are generally well tolerated. They support the core treatment above rather than replacing it.
Art groups and music groups are led by our program staff, not a credentialed art therapist or a board-certified music therapist. They are a gentle, creative part of the week.
Also available: Anger management therapy, gentle skills-based support for anger that feels hard to manage. It has its own page and sits alongside the eleven approaches.
How Treatment Is Delivered
Group TherapyMost of the week, at about six to eight women. Every group here is women only.
Where These Overlap
Read as a list, the names above can look like separate services. Several of them are the same work seen from a different angle, so here is how they connect.
EMDR and trauma therapy
Trauma therapy is the wider approach. EMDR is one of the ways it is delivered here, inside that work rather than alongside it.
Holistic therapy
A bucket rather than a single session. Mindfulness meditation and somatic work sit inside it, which is why you will see them named both ways.
Group therapy
A format rather than a method. Much of what is listed above runs as a group, including CBT, DBT and acceptance and commitment therapy, as well as the art and music groups.
What matters most is what your own plan draws on, and that comes from your assessment rather than from a list.
What Is Not on This List
We want you to have the full picture before you call, so here is what we do not offer.
Sol does not provide detox, inpatient or residential care. It is an outpatient program.
Sol’s therapists are trained in CBT and run CBT groups. Sol does not offer cognitive processing therapy, and does not have specialists in prolonged exposure or exposure and response prevention, which is the protocol most used for OCD. If one of those is what you need, our admissions team will gently let you know and help you think about next steps.
Sol runs DBT skills groups rather than the complete DBT model, which also takes in DBT individual therapy, between-session phone coaching and a clinician consultation team. What runs here is the skills training itself, in a women-only room. If you need the complete model, our admissions team will let you know on your first call.

How Is My Therapy Chosen?
After your assessment, a clinician builds a plan around what you are being treated for and draws on the approaches that fit. The mix changes with your level of care and with you.
Are the Art and Music Groups Led by Credentialed Therapists?
No. Art groups and music groups are led by our program staff, not a credentialed art therapist or a board-certified music therapist. They are a gentle, creative part of the week alongside your clinical care.
Does Insurance Cover These Therapies?
They are part of your program rather than billed separately, so what matters is how your plan covers your level of care. Sol accepts most major insurance plans, including Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Carelon, CareFirst, Cigna, UC SHIP and UnitedHealthcare. Sol can often work with HMO policies through a single case agreement. Sol does not accept Medi-Cal, Medicaid, Medicare, Molina, IEHP, Kaiser, TRICARE or TriWest. Every plan is different, so the quickest way to know is to verify your insurance. Our admissions team responds within 24 hours.
