Programming

Residents at ClearView Communities receive state-of-the-art individualized, multidisciplinary mental health treatment. Our team comprises psychiatrists, nurses, psychotherapists, occupational therapists, and community integration specialists. Together, we deliver evidenced-based treatments like CBT, DBT, ACT, and expressive and mindfulness approaches. Weekly interdisciplinary meetings ensure care delivery is consistent and coordinated.

At ClearView Communities, we prioritize resident autonomy while providing wrap-around supports. Our approach fosters intrinsic motivation, ensuring active engagement in the recovery process. By meeting residents where they are, we tailor care plans to align with their values and realistic goals, promoting empowerment and long-term success.

Residents benefit from frequent individual and group sessions, expediting progress. Our intensive approach fosters continuous support, facilitating a swift and comprehensive recovery journey. With multiple appointments weekly, residents experience consistent guidance, leading to tangible improvements in well-being. Our residents also have access to multiple holistic treatment options, including personalized individual and group fitness training in our large on-site wellness center; dietary and nutrition consultation; horticulture therapy in our spacious greenhouse; and art and other expressive therapies to cultivate a full range of self-expression.

Occupational Therapy services, offered at Clearview Communities, provides specialized skills to maximize independence and quality of life for those struggling with mental health diagnoses. A few of the domains that our therapists focus on are activities of daily living (ADL’s), balance and structure in daily life, and higher level functioning skills such as budgeting, time management, and socialization skills to use in the community. Our OT’s utilize a client centered approach, incorporating creativity and problem solving skills to bring meaning to each resident’s treatment plan. 

Our Therapeutic Nature Program creates a supportive environment where individuals can heal, grow, and discover new strengths through their connection with the natural world. This innovative therapeutic approach utilizes intentional interactions with nature to address various mental health concerns and foster personal growth. Whether it’s gardening, animal interactions, or nature walks, our Therapeutic Nature Program offers an evidenced based approach to mental health treatment that complements traditional therapies.

Individual Nature Sessions

Residents receive personalized therapeutic experiences with our Certified Nature Informed Practitioner. Sessions include nature-based mindfulness activities and nature hikes, tailored to individual needs and goals.

Garden Group

Our climate-controlled botanical greenhouse and on-campus sensory and vegetable gardens provide year-round opportunities for hands-on horticulture activities. Residents engage in garden design, plant cultivation, and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of these green spaces.

Plants with Purpose

This inspiring initiative allows residents to cultivate and donate plants to local organizations, fostering a sense of purpose and community connection. Each donation includes a heartfelt message of gratitude, expressing appreciation for the recipient’s impactful work.

Thorpewood Partnership

In collaboration with Thorpewood, a 156-acre nature-based center in Thurmont, MD. Weekly visits are offered to residents and provide farm-based social-emotional learning experiences, including interactions with farm animals, fishing and exploring the many natural healing spaces Thorpewood has to offer.

At ClearView Communities, we prioritize the holistic well-being of our residents, recognizing that mental health is intricately linked with physical, emotional, and social wellness. The Wellness Center is designed to help residents foster growth, resilience, and healthy lifestyle habits. We accomplish this, in part, by offering both Group and Individual activities on campus:

The Wellness Group is offered in two different styles. One, in a dedicated space where residents come together to explore various aspects of well-being. These sessions offer a safe and supportive environment for individuals to engage in meaningful discussions, learn valuable life skills, and cultivate positive habits. Two, in the format of a group fitness class. This fitness class is designed for all levels of health with a focus on teaching fundamental movement patterns while practicing strength, stability, and conditioning.

In addition to our group sessions, residents at ClearView Communities have the opportunity to receive personalized guidance through one-on-one wellness coaching sessions. The individual sessions are an opportunity for residents to further their understanding and practice of the topics discussed in the group, while also incorporating personalized strength and mobility exercises tailored to their unique needs and preferences.

Our mission with all of the Wellness Activities is to empower residents to practice healthy lifestyle habits that support their mental, physical, emotional, and social well-being.
