Women's Treatment Programs in Riverside, CA

Women's Mental Health Programs Designed Around Your Life

Specialized mental health programs for women address healing not as a single path but as a process shaped by the unique pressures, relationships, and roles that define women's lives. At Sol Women's Treatment in Riverside, California, our five specialty programs are built around the situations that bring women to treatment — and the identities they want to reclaim.
Here's how our treatment works:
Programs answer “Who is this for?”—they are tailored to life stage, role, or challenge.
Treatments (modalities) answer “How do we help?”—they include CBT, DBT, EMDR, somatic therapy, music therapy, and more.
Together, programs and treatments form a comprehensive care model that heals the whole woman—mind, body, and spirit.

Why Women's Programs Are Different — and Why It Matters

Women experience mental health challenges through a specific lens: hormonal shifts across life stages, relational and identity-based trauma, societal pressures tied to caregiving and performance, and higher rates of certain conditions including anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Generic treatment models were not designed with these factors in mind.
At Sol, our programs begin with that reality. Each specialty track was developed to address the specific contexts in which women's mental health breaks down — not simply to sort clients by diagnosis. A woman entering treatment for anxiety may be carrying occupational burnout, childhood trauma, and relational wounds simultaneously; our programs are structured to hold that complexity.
All programming takes place within our all-female outpatient center in Riverside, where every clinician, facilitator, and staff member is a woman. That's not incidental — it shapes the kind of therapeutic work that becomes possible.

Our Five Specialty Programs
at Sol Women’s Treatment

Women’s Wellness Program

The Women’s Wellness Program helps women work through the emotional, relational, and identity challenges that often sit at the centre of mental health struggles. It supports women who feel disconnected, overwhelmed by the roles they carry, or unsure of who they are beyond caregiving and expectations, using a structured, gender-specific approach focused on self-concept, emotional regulation, and healthy boundaries through mindfulness-based, holistic, and evidence-based therapies.

This program may be a fit if: you've been managing anxiety or low mood for a long time, feel like you've lost yourself, or need support rebuilding a sense of self outside of others' expectations.

Relationship Recovery Program

The Relationship Recovery Program helps women heal from attachment wounds, codependency, relational trauma, and unhealthy relationship patterns that often began long before the relationships that brought them to treatment. It combines attachment-focused therapy, DBT, group work, individual therapy, and somatic approaches to help women understand the roots of these patterns and build safer, healthier ways of relating.

This program may be a fit if: your relationships feel consistently painful or unsafe, you struggle with boundaries or self-worth with others, or if you've experienced emotional, physical, or intimate partner trauma.

Trauma-Targeted Program

The Trauma-Targeted Program is Sol’s most intensive specialty track for women with significant trauma histories, including PTSD, childhood trauma, complex trauma, sexual trauma, and co-occurring substance use. It combines EMDR therapy with CBT, DBT, breathwork, and somatic approaches in a structured weekday program designed to stabilize trauma responses and support deeper healing over time.

This program may be a fit if: you are stepping down from inpatient or residential care, or if trauma symptoms are disrupting your daily life.

Student Support Program

The Work Stress Reduction Program supports women whose mental health has been impacted by burnout, chronic work stress, high-pressure environments, and identity patterns tied too closely to productivity and achievement. It uses CBT, mindfulness-based practices, and motivational interviewing to address anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and boundary struggles while helping women build a healthier, more sustainable relationship with work and self.

This program may be a fit if: your career has contributed to a mental health breakdown, if you struggle to separate your identity from your productivity, or if you are experiencing burnout alongside anxiety or depressive symptoms.

Work Stress Reduction Program

The Student Support Program helps women manage the mental health challenges that can come with academic life, including performance pressure, anxiety, isolation, financial stress, and identity instability. Built to work alongside school commitments, it focuses on stress regulation, anxiety treatment, identity development, and the interpersonal challenges that often surface in academic and social environments.

This program may be a fit if: you are a student struggling to manage mental health alongside academic responsibilities, or if anxiety, depression, or trauma history is affecting your academic performance or sense of self.

How Programs Connect to Your Level of Care

Sol's specialty programs are not separate from your treatment — they run through it. Depending on your clinical assessment, you may enter at PHP (our most structured level, 6 hours/day, 5 days/week), IOP (3–5 days/week, designed for women balancing treatment with daily responsibilities), or OP (weekly sessions focused on long-term stability and relapse prevention.
As you move through the continuum, your specialty program moves with you. Women stepping down from inpatient or residential care enter through our inpatient aftercare track, which bridges intensive residential programming with Sol's outpatient structure. For women who need housing stability alongside treatment, all-female supportive housing is available through our partner residence, located 10 minutes from our Riverside facility.

What a Program Day Looks Like at Sol

Sol's treatment day is structured to hold both clinical depth and human pacing. A typical day across PHP and IOP includes:

ComponentDescriptionTypical Frequency
Individual therapyOne-on-one sessions with an assigned therapistWeekly (more intensive in PHP)
Group therapySmall-group sessions (max 10 per facilitator) using CBT, DBT, and mindfulnessDaily
Specialty program sessionsProgram-specific content (e.g., trauma processing, relationship dynamics, occupational stress)Multiple times/week
Psychiatric servicesPsychiatry for evaluation, medication management, and monitoringWeekly (PHP); as needed (IOP)
Holistic modalitiesArt therapy, music therapy, breathwork, mindfulness meditationIntegrated throughout the week
Case managementInsurance coordination, referrals, discharge planning, and life supportOngoing
NursingVital monitoring, medication oversight, health check-insDaily

How Programs and Treatments Work Together

Programs answer who the care is designed for, while treatments define how healing happens. Both are essential.
A woman in the Trauma-Targeted Program may receive EMDR to process trauma, DBT to regulate emotions, and somatic therapy to reconnect with her body.
A participant in the Work Stress Reduction Program may practice CBT for anxiety, mindfulness for stress, and group therapy for peer connection.
A student in the Student Support Program may engage in motivational interviewing to strengthen decision-making while using music therapy for emotional expression.

By combining programs with a variety of therapeutic modalities, Sol ensures every woman receives care that is as individualized as her story.

What to Consider When Choosing a Program

No single program fits every woman. The right match depends on the conditions you're navigating, the life context driving your stress, and the level of care your clinical assessment recommends. Some women enter with a clear diagnosis; others arrive knowing only that what they've been doing hasn't been working.

Our admissions team begins every intake with a clinical assessment designed to surface not just symptoms but circumstances. That conversation shapes your program placement and your individualized treatment plan.

Program Best Fit For Core Focus
Women's Wellness Women experiencing identity disconnection, emotional dysregulation, or long-standing anxiety Self-concept, emotional health, relational patterns
Relationship Recovery Women healing from relational trauma, codependency, or attachment wounds Attachment, interpersonal effectiveness, trauma from relationships
Trauma-Targeted Women with PTSD, complex trauma, or trauma co-occurring with SUD EMDR, trauma processing, daily stabilization
Work Stress Reduction Women experiencing burnout, occupational anxiety, or performance-based depression Stress regulation, boundary-setting, identity outside of work
Student Support Students or academic women managing mental health alongside performance demands Anxiety, stress, identity development, academic balance
