How We Can Help You at Our Programs
Evidence-based approaches to mental health treatment at Time Wellness.
When it comes to mental health, there are many different approaches that you can take. Some people like to use medication and some prefer talk therapy, but at Time Wellness Centers we believe in using both methods for the best results. Learn more about our Chattanooga mental health services today!
Mental Health Treatment
Medication Management
When seeking treatment for mental health, prescription medication can be highly effective in helping reduce symptoms associated with mental health disorders. Medication should also be used as one aspect of a larger treatment plan, incorporating individual and group therapy approaches as well.
When starting a new prescription, no one knows how an individual will be specifically impacted. That is why it is so important to be a part of a professional medication management program; our professional staff can help you manage symptoms and find the best medication for your needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy treatment that teaches people how to recognize and change harmful or troubling thought patterns that affect their behavior and emotions.
Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on modifying automatic negative thinking that can exacerbate emotional problems, sadness, and anxiety. These irrational negative ideas have a negative impact on one’s mood.
CBT identifies these thoughts, challenges them, and replaces them with more objective, realistic ones.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches clients new techniques for managing uncomfortable emotions and reducing relationship conflict. DBT focuses on four important areas in which therapeutic skills are taught. First and foremost, mindfulness aims to improve a person’s ability to accept and be present in the present moment. Second, rather than attempting to avoid negative emotion, distress tolerance aims to increase a person’s tolerance of it. Third, emotion regulation refers to methods for coping with and changing strong emotions that are producing problems in one’s life. Fourth, interpersonal effectiveness refers to the skills that enable a person to communicate with others in a confident, self-respecting, and relationship-building manner.
Red Light Therapy
Red Light therapy, which was originally developed for skin treatment, has been demonstrated to aid with depression and SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) (SAD). Red light therapy applied directly to patients’ heads was proven to have antidepressant qualities in patients with major depressive disorder, according to researchers. Because red light treatment is both safe and natural, there is little risk in using it to treat seasonal light issues. Even if you only have a natural light shortage (as many Americans have), adding 10-15 minutes of red light therapy to your daily routine can jumpstart your energy production and provide a variety of health advantages, including improved sleep and performance.
Biofeedback Therapy
Since you are able to see your heart rate and blood pressure actively increase on the screen during sessions, biofeedback therapy lets your practice coping skills and strategies and get immediate, active feedback on their effectiveness.
Life Skills Training & Education
Our program isn’t just about stabilization, but also learning how to live a successful lifestyle. While many mental health programs only focus on medication stabilization and talk therapy, we at TIME take a more comprehensive and practical approach to recovery. Our Chattanooga mental health services are just the start. If you can’t handle everyday adult responsibilities like cooking, cleaning, buying, planning, budgeting, and job-searching, you have a lower chance at long-term success. Our objective at TIME is to provide an environment in which clients can learn how to live a happy and joy filled life. We not only teach clients medication education and coping mechanisms, but we also prepare them for the highest chance at long term happiness.
Experiential Therapies
Outdoor recreation allows people to not only bond with one another and learn to trust one another, but it also allows them to recover without the baggage of city life or environmental stressors. Engaging activities make people feel revived, energetic, and filled with increased confidence, self-trust, and self-honesty. One of the main goals of adventure therapy is to help clients integrate their life experiences with their current outdoor activities by teaching awareness during joyful activities.
Yoga & Mindfulness
One can take further advantage of our Chattanooga mental health services by introducing rhythm and breathing to the mind and body. Yoga and meditation have been proven to be valuable techniques for alleviating physical and emotional distress. According to yogic principles, stress can disturb the body’s energy centers and interfere with consciousness. All of these qualities are valuable to people who are battling mental health issues since yoga concentrates and roots the mind.

GeneSight Testing
GeneSight testing is a pharmacogenomic test that examines how your DNA may affect your response to psychiatric medications. This test, through our Chattanooga mental health services, assists your doctor in prescribing a more genetically corresponding medication and helps them avoid medications that may cause more side effects or not even work at all. For more information about our GeneSight Testing contact our admissions team.
Trauma Therapy
Traumatic experiences can cause several mental health symptoms. In some cases, unresolved trauma leads to the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). EMDR therapy is a proven approach to treating trauma that uses bilateral stimulation to help the client heal as they work through their traumatic past. In addition, EMDR can help with other mental health disorders, like anxiety and panic attacks.
FLOAT Tank Therapy
COMING SOON!
A float tank, also known as a sensory deprivation tank, can have significant benefits for mental health. Inside the tank, individuals float effortlessly in a dense Epsom salt solution, creating a weightless and tranquil environment. This unique experience allows the mind and body to relax deeply, leading to various mental health benefits. The sensory deprivation aspect of the float tank helps reduce external stimuli, promoting a sense of calm and reducing stress levels. As the individual floats in the warm water, they can achieve a meditative state, easing anxiety and improving mood. The relaxation response triggered by the tank can also help alleviate symptoms of depression. The buoyancy in the tank also provides relief for physical tension, which is closely linked to mental well-being. As muscles relax, stress and pain levels decrease, contributing to an overall sense of well-being.
Biosound Therapy Bed
A biosound bed is an innovative wellness technology that combines the benefits of sound therapy, music therapy, and vibrational massage. Users lie down on the bed, which emits gentle vibrations and plays soothing music or sounds. The combination of these elements helps induce a deep state of relaxation, reducing stress, anxiety, and promoting better sleep. The biosound bed can also enhance overall well-being by supporting the body’s natural healing processes and providing a rejuvenating experience for the mind and body.
Family Program
Why is mental health treatment different at TIME Wellness? Family involvement at plays a crucial role in promoting successful outcomes and overall well-being for individuals facing mental health challenges. We offer family calls with our psychiatric provider once every two weeks for medication education and questions.
Alpha-Stim Therapy
Alpha-Stim for mental health treatment refers to a medical device that employs cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and insomnia. The device administers microcurrents through ear clip electrodes to stimulate certain regions of the brain. While the exact mechanism is not entirely understood, it’s believed that these microcurrents modulate the activity of certain neurotransmitters. Consequently, this leads to an improved mood and a potential reduction in anxiety, depression, and insomnia symptoms.
