About West Yavapai Guidance Clinic
Located on Whipple Street in the heart of the city, Polara Health's The Healing Place provides residential support for adults dealing with short-term or long-term mental health challenges. The center is staffed around the clock by a multidisciplinary clinical team, including psychiatrists, registered nurses, and nurse practitioners, who are available 24/7 to assist residents. Visiting is allowed for approved guests aged 18 and older each day from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., as determined by the clinical team.
The Healing Place focuses on whole-person treatment, combining research-based psychotherapy with coordinated medical care in a single, convenient location. Services include both individual and group counseling, peer support, psychiatric treatment, and case management. For clients with conditions that have not responded to standard therapies, the center also offers deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Through these interventions, residents work to reduce symptoms, strengthen coping strategies, and enhance their overall quality of life.
Polara Health also supports long-term progress through its “Thrive” peer-led daytime program and vocational services, designed to help clients transition back to work. The program covers professional communication, interview preparation, time management, resume and cover letter writing, and essential computer skills, supporting a smoother return to employment.
