Steps from the Red Line
Psychiatric Day Treatment* for Women
Are you a woman struggling with your mental health? Whether you have a diagnosed mental health condition, are fighting a substance use problem, or have past trauma you want to heal, we are here to help. Our outpatient program offers a safe, supportive, flexible space for women to come together and focus on their recovery journeys. We provide a fixed schedule that includes evidence-based therapies and a holistic approach, so you have the best chance of healing.
About Women-Only Outpatient Program
A psychiatric day treatment* program is different from inpatient treatment or once-weekly therapy. In fact, it sits somewhere in the middle when it comes to intensity. It involves attending the facility a few times a week (say three to five days) for a few hours at a time. During this time, patients receive individual therapy and group therapy as part of the treatment program. This type of schedule allows women to receive the treatment they need in a supportive environment while still allowing them to keep up with their daily responsibilities, whether that involves attending school or working.
The Benefits of Outpatient Programs for Women
So, why choose psychiatric day treatment* specifically for women? These are some of the benefits.
Flexibility: Many women have other responsibilities, making it hard to commit to a residential treatment program. An outpatient program is different, providing much more flexibility so you do not need to change your own schedule.
More Support: When it comes to comparing our outpatient program with traditional outpatient therapy, there is more support with us. This type of partial hospitalization program offers evidence-based therapies and gives you more structure, helping you on your healing journey.
A Women-Centric Environment: When going through a healing process, it helps to have a safe, supportive community, and that’s what outpatient therapy for women offers. It’s very women-centric, which means the community will be very understanding of the more unique circumstances and challenges that affect women. You will feel more seen, heard, and understood, particularly during the group therapy sessions.

About Our Comprehensive Care: What to Expect
It is always scary to kickstart a healing process – especially when you aren’t exactly sure what lies ahead. If you choose our Cambridge-based women-only outpatient care, here’s what to expect.
A Range of Therapy Sessions
At Cambridge Mental Health, we provide a range of therapies, including evidence-based therapies, group therapy, and family therapy.
Evidence-Based Therapies: We use evidence-based therapies at our facility, as these lead to excellent results and teach necessary coping skills. Some examples include cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy. Another one is eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, which we offer as part of our trauma-informed care.
Group Therapy: Group therapy is a way of creating a supportive environment. It involves active listening, conflict resolution, and an increase in self-awareness. You’ll feel connected to others during this time.
Family Therapy: Another type of therapy we offer is family therapy. This is key to any woman’s recovery, especially if the mental health or substance use problem has caused friction at home, as it leads to increased understanding, empathy, and communication.
Tailored Plans
We always provide tailored treatment plans to all of our patients. We will take things into account like the type of treatment you have received before and your medical history.
Medication Management
Another part of our outpatient treatment for mental health problems and substance use disorders is medication management. This is particularly important for women seeking therapy for substance abuse, as it means they receive the necessary medications to help them through withdrawals. Plus, it means you will always receive medication at the correct time every day.
A Supportive Environment
When you choose Cambridge Mental Health’s treatment program, you choose a caring, supportive environment run by a genuinely compassionate team. Our women-only program is all about building community and supporting one another. You’ll be on your own unique journey, but you will also get to share that with others who are in similar situations to yours.
Is Our Treatment Right for You?
Wondering if our treatment in Cambridge is right for you? Here is what to consider.
Level of Support Needed: How much support do you need for your mental health disorder or substance use disorder? Our women’s outpatient program offers more substantial support compared to weekly therapy sessions. However, if you have greater needs, you might be better off with inpatient care.
Previous Treatment Used: It helps to take into account any previous treatments you have received, as well as how effective they were. For example, you may have already tried therapy sessions but found they do not work for you well enough, in which case, a more substantial treatment program like ours may be beneficial. It’s all about choosing something that’s right for you and your mental health wellness journey.
Your Schedule: Finally, consider your schedule. At Cambridge Mental Health, we make it as simple as possible to attend our outpatient program. It works particularly well for those attending school and work, as we offer flexibility and evening programs.
