You Are More Than What You’ve Been Through.

At HER Healing Empowerment Recovery, we believe every woman deserves the opportunity to heal, rebuild, and create a life she can be proud of. We provide compassionate, women-centered behavioral health and recovery services designed to address the whole woman — not just the circumstances that brought her through our doors.

Healing starts here. Empowerment grows here. Recovery is possible.

A Place Created for HER

A Different Kind of Recovery Experience

Women often carry the weight of everyone around them while quietly struggling themselves. HER was created to give women a place where they can put that weight down.

Our programs combine behavioral health treatment, recovery support, counseling, life skills, family support, and practical resources to help women address the challenges affecting their lives.

We believe meaningful recovery involves more than treating symptoms or completing a program. It means helping women develop the confidence, skills, stability, and support systems necessary to move forward.

“Your past does not define your future.”The HER Philosophy

Our Approach

Whole Woman. Whole Life.

Every woman’s story is different. That’s why our approach is individualized, compassionate, and focused on practical progress.

Trauma-Informed Care

We recognize that past experiences can influence how women think, feel, relate, and respond. Our approach creates space for healing without judgment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Women learn to recognize patterns of thinking and behavior that may be holding them back and develop healthier ways to respond.

Recovery & Relapse Prevention

We help women understand triggers, strengthen coping strategies, develop recovery plans, and build the tools necessary to maintain progress.

Motivational Support

Change doesn’t happen because someone tells you to change. We help women identify their own reasons for change and build the confidence to act on them.

Emotional Wellness

Women learn practical strategies for managing stress, emotions, relationships, communication, and difficult situations.

Family & Parenting Support

We help women strengthen relationships, improve communication, develop healthy boundaries, and build healthier family dynamics.

Structure When You Need It

Recovery Doesn’t End When Intensive Treatment Ends

Our outpatient services provide continued therapeutic support for women who are transitioning to a lower level of care or who need ongoing support while managing everyday life. Treatment can be tailored around the woman’s individual needs, goals, and schedule.

Strength in Shared Understanding

There is power in being surrounded by women who understand that life can be complicated. Our therapist-led groups provide opportunities to develop recovery skills, strengthen emotional awareness, improve communication, and build meaningful connections. Women can learn from one another while developing tools they can use outside of treatment.

Family & Parenting Support

Because Her Healing Impacts More Than Her

For many women, their children are one of their greatest reasons for change. Our family and parenting services help women develop the skills necessary to create healthier relationships and stronger family environments.

Becoming healthier can change the trajectory of an entire family.

Support may include

  • Parenting education
  • Communication skills
  • Healthy boundaries
  • Emotional regulation
  • Family relationship support
  • Reunification-focused support
  • Healthy family dynamics
Court & CPS Services

Professional Support. Respectful Care. Clear Documentation.

We understand that some women enter treatment because of a court order, CPS involvement, probation requirement, or another external referral. HER provides structured services while treating every woman with dignity and respect.

Our goal is to help women meet their requirements while also making meaningful changes that extend beyond the requirement itself.

Services may include

  • Substance-use assessments
  • Treatment participation
  • Individual & group counseling
  • Parenting education
  • Recovery support
  • Drug screening where applicable
  • Progress documentation
  • Referral coordination
Case Management

Recovery Requires More Than Therapy

Sometimes the biggest obstacles to recovery aren’t happening inside the therapy room — housing, employment, transportation, healthcare, family responsibilities, legal concerns, community resources. Our case management team helps women identify barriers and connect with appropriate resources so they can create greater stability in their everyday lives.

Because building a better life requires practical support, too.

We help women navigate

  • Housing
  • Employment
  • Transportation
  • Healthcare
  • Family responsibilities
  • Legal concerns
Work Readiness & Life Skills

Build the Life You’re Working Toward

Recovery is not simply about getting through treatment — it’s about being prepared for what comes next. Our life-skills and work-readiness services help women develop practical tools for greater independence.

We don’t just want HER to complete the program. We want HER to be ready for life after it.

Topics may include

  • Employment readiness
  • Workplace communication
  • Financial responsibility
  • Time management
  • Goal setting
  • Decision-making
  • Healthy routines
  • Independent living
Supportive Living

A Safe Place to Build Stability

For women who need additional structure while working toward independence, supportive living can provide an important bridge between treatment and everyday life. A supportive environment can help women practice the skills they are learning, establish healthy routines, develop accountability, and build confidence.

Not just a place to stay. A place to grow.

What it offers

  • Additional structure
  • A bridge to independence
  • Room to practice new skills
  • Healthy daily routines
  • Accountability
  • Growing confidence
Why HER?

Because Women Deserve Care That Sees the Whole Woman

At HER, we don’t believe a woman should be reduced to a diagnosis, a substance-use history, a court case, a parenting challenge, or a difficult chapter in her life. Our services are designed around that belief.

01

Women-Centered Care

Services created specifically around the experiences and needs of women.

02

Compassion Without Judgment

A supportive environment where women can be honest about where they are.

03

Evidence-Informed Treatment

Therapeutic approaches designed to create meaningful and sustainable change.

04

Practical Support

Because recovery requires stability in the real world — not just inside a treatment setting.

05

Accountability With Dignity

We can hold women accountable while still treating them with compassion and respect.

06

A Path Toward Independence

Our goal is to help women develop the tools to create sustainable lives.

She is HER story. She is HER potential. She is HER future.

The HER Promise

We See Her. We Support Her. We Believe in Her.

HER Healing Empowerment Recovery exists because we believe women deserve another opportunity to become the woman they know they can be. Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to have all the answers today. You simply have to be willing to take the next step.

Let HER journey begin.
