Savannah is known for its charm, historic architecture, and tight-knit communities—but like many cities, it also faces mental health challenges that affect people of all ages and backgrounds. According to the Georgia Department of Public Health, Chatham County has seen consistent increases in mental health-related emergency visits, suicide risk, and substance use disorders in recent years.
Young adults, veterans, working professionals, and even adolescents are reporting higher rates of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. The COVID-19 pandemic only intensified these trends, leaving many individuals struggling with burnout, isolation, and emotional fatigue.
Most major health insurance providers with out-of-network benefits will help cover the cost of our St. Marys treatment program. Call us or email us to find out your coverage options when seeking mental health treatment.
We understand that traveling outside of Savannah for mental health care might feel like a big decision—but for many of our clients, a short drive results in a major step forward. At St. Mary’s Wellness Center, we offer a wide array of outpatient mental health services designed to empower individuals with the tools they need for sustainable healing.
One-on-one therapy is a cornerstone of effective mental health treatment. Our licensed clinicians use evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic therapy to help you process your thoughts, emotions, and past experiences. Individual sessions are always personalized to reflect your goals, whether you’re dealing with stress, grief, relationship challenges, or chronic depression.
Sharing your story in a supportive group environment can foster healing and connection. Our group therapy sessions offer guided discussions on key topics such as emotional regulation, mindfulness, building healthy boundaries, addiction recovery, and life skills. These sessions not only reduce feelings of isolation but also promote accountability and encouragement.
If you’re dealing with mood instability, anxiety, or symptoms that may benefit from medication, our psychiatric providers are here to help. We offer diagnostic evaluations, ongoing medication management, and close collaboration with your therapist to ensure an integrated approach to your care. Our team treats a range of mental health conditions, including:
Mental health and addiction often go hand in hand. If you're struggling with both, it’s essential to receive care that addresses the full picture. Our dual diagnosis treatment program helps clients manage substance use while receiving comprehensive mental health support. We don’t believe in treating one problem while ignoring the other—healing requires looking at the whole person.
At St. Mary’s, we understand that unresolved trauma can have a profound impact on your mental and emotional wellbeing. Our trauma-informed approach means that every aspect of your treatment is rooted in safety, empowerment, and compassion. Whether you’ve experienced childhood trauma, abuse, violence, or significant loss, our team will walk beside you through the healing process.
For individuals living in the Savannah area, reaching St. Mary’s Wellness Center is a manageable and scenic drive.

Many clients appreciate the opportunity to step outside their usual environment and find that the short distance allows for focused, distraction-free treatment in a peaceful setting.
