Trusted Care. Transformative Experiences.
Many individuals arrive at The Guest House Ocala after years of seeking answers—often traveling from all over the United States to find a place where trauma is treated at the root, not managed at the surface.
I cannot praise The Guest House and its staff enough. From the moment I arrived, I felt reassured, cared for, and deeply supported… I was touched by the kindness of everyone, from the staff to my therapist, and I consistently felt a sense of security and connection during my stay. The living conditions and grounds were nothing short of perfect, surrounded by natural beauty, and the classes were engaging, unique, and incredibly effective in addressing trauma… Even after being gone for a year and returning for alumni weekend, I felt as if I had never left. My therapist, Mark, truly saved my life with his gentle yet honest approach and unwavering commitment to my well-being… I cannot thank The Guest House enough for what they did for me and for the ongoing support I continue to receive. It has changed my life and given me meaning once again.
I had the great privilege of staying at The Guest House Ocala for 60 days in May and June of this year. It was the first time I ever did this type of intensive residential therapy and I'm very glad that that experience was in this world class facility. The range of different modalities - from very powerful small group/individual trauma therapy and informative group presentations, to somatic/drama/art therapy, breath work, sound baths and yin yoga - allows for many different paths to heal and find joy again. The tremendous and highly trained support staff is an invaluable asset - keeping us safe, protected, heard and rather too well fed!! I truly believe that my experience at TGH saved my life and helped me ignite an adventure into truly living this wild and wonderful life.
The Guest House wasn’t my first treatment center, yet it was the best I have ever been to. The focus on working through trauma and understanding where your emotions are coming from, and how to have corrective experiences, taught me so much. My therapist, individual sessions, and primary groups helped me get closer to finding myself and connect with others going through the same things… CORE helped me understand my attachment disorders, and Bob’s groups gave me knowledge on how to identify things within myself. My life has been changed because I came to The Guest House. I now have seven months sober and am in sober living, staying in my sobriety, therapy, and on my meds because I learned that I am worth being taken care of by myself, and I can be independent and still ask for support.
The Guest house opened my eyes to so many things that I was blind too with my mental health, childhood and adult life. The staff here goes above and beyond to take care of you. I felt so comfortable and cared for during my staff. I had some major life changes go on while I was there and they met me exactly where I was at! 10/10 experience, food and housing both amazing
