Willow House at The Meadows

Willow House is unique for its foundational focus on trauma as the root cause of intimacy disorders. With an intimate setting of only 10 women, a high staff-to-client ratio, and a curriculum architected by Dr. Stefanie Carnes, the program provides an unparalleled depth of care. It combines the 30-task model with advanced therapies like EMDR and Somatic Experiencing to prepare women for authentic, healthy lives.

The goal is to help women become empowered, confident, and healthy with clarity about their value and worth. By redefining core wounds and beliefs while gaining practical skills, the program aims to help women begin living the life they never thought possible. While there is no "cure" for addiction, graduates are prepared for ongoing healing and recovery.

The program uses a blend of evidence-based and experiential therapies, including EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Psychodrama, Neurofeedback, Art Therapy, Tai Chi, Yoga, Meditation, the 12-Step model, and Pia Mellody’s post-induction model.
