Being a trauma-focused mental health treatment facility means that the organization’s clinical approach, philosophy, and programming prioritize understanding and addressing the impact of traumatic experiences on an individual’s mental health and overall well-being.
Trauma-focused treatment is based on the understanding that trauma can impact an individual’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and can lead to a range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance abuse.
The facility’s staff are trained to understand the impact of trauma and how it affects an individual’s brain, body, and behavior. The treatment team takes a comprehensive approach to trauma treatment, using evidence-based practices and a range of therapeutic modalities to help clients work through their traumatic experiences.
Assessment is a critical component of a trauma-focused mental health treatment facility. A thorough assessment includes understanding the client’s history of trauma, how it has affected their life, and how it manifests in their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A comprehensive assessment helps the treatment team tailor trauma treatment to the client’s unique needs and experiences.
Treatment planning in a trauma-focused mental health treatment facility is individualized, and the treatment team works collaboratively with the client to develop a plan that addresses their specific goals and needs.
The treatment plan may include individual therapy, group therapy, medication management, and other interventions. The team may also collaborate with other healthcare providers and community resources to provide holistic care.
In every aspect of programming, trauma-focused mental health treatment facilities prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment for clients.
Staff members are trained to understand the impact of trauma on clients and how to provide care that is compassionate, empathetic, and validating. The treatment team works to build trust with clients, helping them feel heard and understood, which is essential to the success of trauma treatment.
Trauma-focused mental health treatment facilities also prioritize education and empowerment. Clients are provided with psychoeducation about trauma and how it affects the body and mind.
Patients are taught coping skills and self-regulation techniques that can help them manage the symptoms of trauma-related disorders. These skills can be used throughout their lives, empowering them to continue their healing journey long after treatment has ended.
Being a trauma-focused mental health treatment facility means prioritizing the understanding and treatment of trauma as a root cause of mental health issues. It means assessing clients’ histories of trauma, developing individualized treatment plans that address their unique needs, providing compassionate and empathetic care, and empowering clients with the knowledge and skills they need to manage their symptoms and continue their healing journey long after treatment has ended.
By applying a trauma-focused approach to every aspect of programming, trauma-focused mental health treatment facilities can provide clients with the comprehensive care they need to achieve lasting recovery.
Trauma is a complex phenomenon that refers to any damage inflicted on an individual’s mind, body, and emotions as a result of experiencing a severely distressing event or events.
The impact of trauma can be profound and long-lasting, leading to a wide range of physical, emotional, and psychological symptoms that can interfere with an individual’s ability to function effectively. It is worth noting that trauma can manifest in different ways, depending on the type and severity of the traumatic event(s).
Recent research has distinguished between two types of trauma: “Big T” and “Small t” trauma, with significant implications for mental health treatment.
“Small t” trauma refers to non-life-threatening events that exceed an individual’s emotional capacity, such as being bullied, called names, or humiliated. These events may also be tied to extremely stressful life events such as starting a new job, divorce, financial trouble, or having a child. While these events may not be as devastating as “Big T” traumas, they can still have a significant impact on an individual’s mental health and wellbeing.
As a trauma-focused mental health treatment facility, it is our mission to provide comprehensive, evidence-based care that addresses the unique needs of individuals who have experienced trauma.
We recognize that trauma can manifest in various ways and that there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to trauma treatment. Therefore, our programming is designed to be sensitive to the diverse experiences of our clients and to meet them where they are on their healing journey.
Our trauma-focused programming applies to every aspect of our care, from initial assessment to ongoing treatment and aftercare. We believe that a trauma-informed approach is essential to providing quality care, and our staff is trained to recognize the signs and symptoms of trauma and to respond to them appropriately.
Our treatment modalities are grounded in evidence-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and other trauma-focused therapies that have been shown to be effective in treating trauma-related symptoms.
In addition, we recognize that trauma can impact an individual’s physical health, and our programming includes a range of complementary therapies such as yoga, meditation, and massage therapy. Our facility is designed to be a safe and welcoming space that promotes healing and recovery, and we strive to create a culture of safety and support that encourages our clients to share their experiences and connect with others who have had similar experiences.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can result from experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. PTSD symptoms may vary from person to person, they typically include:
These symptoms can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life, and it is important to seek professional help to address them.
Corner Canyon’s trauma treatment center provides comprehensive and evidence-based treatment for individuals struggling with PTSD. Our highly trained clinicians utilize various research-based therapies to treat PTSD symptoms effectively.
Our treatment approach is individualized and tailored to each patient’s specific needs, as we recognize that trauma and its effects are unique to each individual.
We incorporate a range of therapeutic modalities into our treatment programs, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT).
CBT is a type of therapy that helps individuals identify and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs related to their trauma, while EMDR focuses on processing traumatic memories and reducing associated distress. DBT emphasizes developing skills for regulating emotions and managing distress.
Our inpatient trauma treatment center offers a safe and supportive environment for individuals to work through their trauma and heal from its effects. Our treatment programs also address co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders that often accompany PTSD. We prioritize providing trauma-informed care throughout our programming, recognizing that trauma can impact all aspects of an individual’s life.
At Corner Canyon, we are committed to providing the highest quality of care for individuals struggling with PTSD and other mental health conditions. We strive to create an environment that fosters healing, growth, and resilience, empowering individuals to reclaim their lives and move forward with confidence.
My experience at Corner Canyon to put it simply, was life changing. The program gave me a structure to set a solid foundation for my life outside of treatment. The people that are involved with Corner Canyon are amazing. From the staff, to the clients, these people quickly began to feel like family. This place felt like home to me. I truly was cared for in a way that I had never been before. I can honestly say that in the 62 days I was there I didn’t have a single bad day, and that to me speaks volumes. I’m grateful to have had the experience that I did. To anyone who is looking for help - I would heavily recommend going to Corner Canyon.
I arrived at Corner Canyon during the worst depressive episode of my life. I had no hope and felt disconnected from everything. I'm a therapist, and I had been doing all the "right" things to care for myself. But sometimes self-care is simply not enough.
When I came to Corner Canyon I was lost. I was 31 years old, struggling with addiction issues and my own mental health, and didn't know which way to turn. I was very fortunate to land here. Through the help of some people who loved and cared about me, they got me in the doors of this wonderful program. I was nervous at first, but I soon realized I was amongst peers who were feeling and going through the same things, which put me at ease. I was surrounded by staff who themselves had been through their own treatment and had such compassion and support for me and my well-being. The Clinical team is wonderful and they are all highly trained experts. They practice many different modalities and with that they were able to get to the core of my issues to treat both my trauma, and subsequently my substance abuse. They did this with such grace, compassion, and empathy, that I always felt they had my best care in mind. I could write forever about how this place changed my life, but the reality is that there would never be enough words. This program, it's wonderful staff, and the people who come here make this place more than just a rehabilitation center. It's a home. I found myself here, I found my tribe, and I was able to unlock decades worth of trauma that led me to a life I didn't want to lead. After coming here I found the life I always wanted, and it started at Corner Canyon.
Corner Canyon has put together an excellent residential program. I need a comprehensive program that addressed my health and mental health with cutting edge treatment -- they exceeded my expectations. With the continuum of health, mental health, and wellness services offered - they truly individualized my treatment plan. They have an excellent, well-trained staff that genuinely care. I wish I had found them 5, 10 years ago it would have saved me a lot of heart ache. I feel ALOT better than I have felt in sometime and as I continue to take care of myself, I am confident I will be an even better version of myself. Michelle Feb-Mar 2023
So it doesn’t sound so cliche I won’t say this place saved my life. But I will say this place saved my future!! There are no descriptive words that exist that hold enough volume to describe how extraordinarily phenomenal this place is! They get it, they listen! It kind of feels like the beginning of an awesome horror movie when you first get there cause everyone is so nice, kind, and caring you’re waiting for the ball to drop. Then you realize they are truly that kind & caring! (I have severe trust issues) I never thought I could ever get better so there was no point in going for help because I have been through so much trauma that there wasn’t any facility out there that could handle the magnitude and complex trauma I have endured. However I was wrong! The mentors, I seriously will never be able to thank them enough for listening to my emotional babble some days & they never made me feel like they needed to run off & do the other work they had to do or nothing! Liz & Dom the two on the front line that you only really interact with when you’re checking in. They deserve a lot of recognition & praise that I don’t think they get very often! The fact I struggle with anxiety & answering my phone most days fills me with dread & fear even though I’m the one who emailed the treatment center that was on my caller ID I still froze & couldn’t answer & felt dumb for even reaching out for help. Then the debilitating depression & shame would set in cause I didn’t pick up the phone would set in & I would get so angry at myself! It was a vicious cycle! Up until the day Liz text me & she never left me alone (haha I’m forever grateful for that) it was like chatting with a new friend. After her portion of the admissions process was done I was passed off to Dom, who again never left me alone! The ease & friendly chatting made it easier to commit to checking in. And I did it, I went to Corner Canyon & checked in & it was by far the best thing I’ve ever done for myself! The first week I was there Adam who is a mentor there (I won’t elaborate but…) did something for me that I’ve never had anyone do for me, that was thought of me. I always take care of everyone in my life & make sure they have what they need & they're okay before myself. Usually not leaving time for myself. But for the first time in 46 years someone thought of me first. It was such a small gesture, but will forever make a monumental impact in my life. That day sealed my fate! I could stay at Corner Canyon, I could complete the program! They really did care! I have so much more to say about every single person there! But this is supposed to be a review, not a novel of my life so I will end this by saying, what you got to lose?! I can 100% guarantee that your worst day at Corner Canyon will still be 10 times easier than your worst day before you got there!
Wow, Corner Canyon Health Centers truly changed my life. I truly entered with not a thought of wanting to live, and I left today and I have SO many reasons now. The staff goes out of their way to not only connect with you, but care for you. They are amazing at taking feedback and truly care about the experience their clients have. You truly do become a family, the community I met while in CCHC will always be with me. I know I made the right choice coming to CCHC they truly saved my life in more ways than one. I couldn’t thank them properly even if I tried. CCHC is the right next step, I promise you will not regret it.
