What We Treat

We specialize in treating complex mental health conditions and co-occurring disorders. The multimodality approach involving group, individual, and family therapy along with psychiatric services allows our clinical team to effectively understand and address challenging behavioral issues. Often, it’s the combination of multiple mental health conditions, other co-occurring disorders, or a co-occurring eating disorder that hinders progress with traditional services. At our facility we treat:

  • Anxiety disorders
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Depressive disorders
  • Personality disorders, including borderline personality disorder (BPD)
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Co-occurring eating disorders

Levels of Care

At Pasadena Villa Outpatient Nashville, we offer two levels of care for mental health treatment: a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP).

Our PHP is the most comprehensive outpatient program available. It serves as a preventive program to hospitalization, as well as a solid bridge for those stepping down from hospitalizations or residential treatment programs. In PHP, clients attend programming five days a week for six hours per day.

IOP is designed to help individuals who are experiencing an increase in distressing symptoms and behaviors or are not progressing in traditional outpatient services. The extra treatment and support foster meaningful improvement and create a solid foundation for clients transitioning to community treatment. Our IOP meets in-person three to five days a week for three hours a day.

It’s okay to have questions.

Our Program

At Pasadena Villa Outpatient Nashville, we provide customized care to meet each client’s needs and unique goals. We understand that people are not their diagnosis — they’re a combination of all that’s happened in their lives and future journeys. Because of this, our clinical team of board-certified psychiatrists, licensed clinical social workers, registered art therapists, and licensed professional counselors partner with clients and their families to design treatment plans that provide a successful pathway to recovery.

Our clinical team creates intensive treatment plans, allowing clients to explore new ways to enjoy life. In a supportive and healing environment, we take a whole-person approach to treatment using evidence-based modalities that facilitate progress from clinical care toward independent self-care. Our program provides tailored psychotherapy groups that meet weekly to teach our clients practical ways to handle life’s challenges, ensuring they address each client’s needs. Group-based therapy, individual psychotherapy, and family sessions ensure optimal progress in treatment and help improve each client’s quality of life. Pasadena Villa Nashville is an LGBTQIA+ affirming environment.

The treatment process begins with the primary therapist conducting a comprehensive assessment that, upon permission from each client, includes consultation with the client’s prescriber, psychotherapist, significant others, and other service providers. Our experienced psychiatrists oversee all treatment, conduct psychiatric evaluations, and provide careful medication management as needed. Our psychiatrists communicate with the community prescriber ensuring medication changes fit within their treatment plan. Additionally, we value and foster collaboration with community providers as we serve as an extension of each client’s treatment team. The two-way communication ensures clients receive seamless continuity of care as they transition into and out of our program.

Voices from Our Community

“This program is great. The staff are professional and caring, the space is clean and comfortable, and the food and snacks are on point.”

Grateful Pasadena Villa Outpatient - Nashville Alumnus

“I loved all the providers here at Pasadena Villa. If you ever need a program that really cares about your progress in your mental health journey, this is the place to go!”

Grateful Pasadena Villa Outpatient - Nashville Alumnus

“Before coming to Pasadena Villa I was going through the worst time in my life. The idea of seeking help scared me and the idea of group therapy scared me even more. My plan was to call after hours, hope no one would answer, and tell myself I tried but it didn’t work out. Luckily for me, Amber, called me back immediately. From the time I arrived I was treated with dignity and respect. My feelings and thoughts were heard and met without judgement. My care team immediately came up with an outline of what my time here would look like and treatment began. The work is hard, but with the support of the staff and my group members I am now confident that I have all the tools and support necessary to lead a healthy life.
I do not say this lightly… Pasadena Villa saved my life. For anyone on the fence, bet on yourself and give them a call. You will not regret it.”
