  • What are the 7 Pillars of Wellness at EdgeCare 360?

    The 7 Pillars of Wellness represent the foundational areas that influence your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. They include: Mental, Physical, Social, Spiritual, Intellectual, Financial, and Environmental wellness. We use these pillars to guide personalized, holistic care for every client.

  • How does Mental Wellness differ from traditional therapy?

    Mental Wellness at EdgeCare 360 includes therapy—but it goes beyond symptom relief. It focuses on emotional regulation, self-awareness, trauma recovery, and building resilience using personalized care plans grounded in evidence-based practices.

  • What does Physical Wellness look like in a mental health setting?

    We support clients in understanding the mind-body connection—offering tools to improve sleep, manage stress through breathwork or grounding, and create sustainable self-care routines. We also consider how chronic stress, trauma, and rest impact the body.

  • How is Social Wellness addressed in therapy or coaching?

    We help clients build healthier relationships, improve communication, and navigate life transitions. Whether you're dealing with loneliness, codependency, or family dynamics, we guide you toward deeper connection and stronger boundaries.

  • Is Spiritual Wellness religious?

    Not necessarily. At EdgeCare 360, spiritual wellness is about connection to purpose, inner peace, or something greater than yourself. Whether rooted in faith, culture, nature, or personal values, we help you explore spirituality in a way that’s meaningful to you.

  • What is Intellectual Wellness and how does it help mental health?

    Intellectual wellness focuses on curiosity, learning, and creativity. We encourage clients to explore their interests, engage in self-reflection, and find meaning through personal growth, which strengthens emotional resilience and mental flexibility.

  • Why is Financial or Environmental Wellness included in therapy?

    Because real life impacts your mental health. Financial and environmental stressors—like housing insecurity, debt, or a chaotic home environment—can be overwhelming. We help you identify triggers, shift habits, and find resources to create stability.
