I stayed at the Rutledge house and had probably the best experience of my life! Everyone there treated us fantastic. Think of it like a retreat where you can actually focus on yourself, without all of lifes hassles. I was in a dark place when I found this place. I am from Kentucky where places like this simply don't exist. They asked me some questions to make sure I qualified, and I'm glad I did! They helped me a lot and were able to get my medications right as well as give me a bunch of tools to help cope with society. They diagnosed me as well. I really can't speak highly enough. 5* for sure and I would add more if I could. If you're wanting to find yourself again and serious about your mental health, trust me, Don't hesitate!💯 😁 Edit: I went to the Murfreesboro location recently as well and feel obligated to express my appreciation there as well. Everyone treated me so nicely which allowed me to adjust and feel comfortable much faster. The staff was great as well as the amenities! These places allow smoking but in designated area so as to not interfere with people who do not choose to do so. A BIG thank you to everyone!!

What to Expect From Red Light Therapy Sessions?

During a Red Light Therapy session at Nashville Mental Health, you’ll sit or lie comfortably as red light wavelengths are applied to targeted areas of your body. Sessions typically last 15–30 minutes and are completely painless. You may feel a gentle warmth as the light penetrates your skin. Your therapist will tailor the treatment to your specific needs, ensuring a relaxing and beneficial experience. Many clients report feeling refreshed and energized after just one session.

Over time, with consistent treatments, you may notice improvements in mood, reduced inflammation, and enhanced skin clarity. There’s no downtime required, so you can return to your daily activities immediately after. Your therapist will also guide you on the optimal frequency of sessions based on your health goals.

Benefits of DBT

Red light therapy is an effective treatment for reducing inflammation and providing pain relief. By penetrating deep into the tissue, red light and near infrared light promote tissue repair and improve blood circulation, accelerating the healing process. This low level laser therapy has been shown to help alleviate discomfort from conditions like arthritis and muscle pain, offering a natural and non-invasive solution for pain management​

Using red light therapy can enhance mood and increase energy levels by stimulating the production of serotonin and improving cell function. The exposure to specific wavelengths of light can positively influence the body’s natural circadian rhythms, helping you feel more energized and balanced throughout the day​

Red light therapy promotes skin health by boosting collagen production, improving skin elasticity, and reducing signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines. Its ability to treat skin conditions like acne and redness makes it a popular choice for skin rejuvenation and improving overall skin complexion​

Exposure to red and near infrared light through red light therapy helps regulate melatonin levels, which are essential for healthy sleep cycles. This therapy supports a restful night’s sleep by calming the nervous system and promoting relaxation, making it an excellent tool for improving sleep quality​
