Along with our focus on mental health supports for clients of Challenging Minds LLC, the Wellness Center is offering homeopathic options for those who would prefer to avoid only allopathic medicine. Some of the current homeopathic treatment options offered are Reiki, massage, reflexology and an infrared sauna, by Sunlighten. Each of our providers has many years of experience and provide treatment options in a setting that is ideal for decompressing and ultimate relaxation. Last year we were fortunate to be recognized by the Better Business Bureau and Challenging Minds Wellness Center was awarded the International Spark Award. Thank you to all of our supporters and patrons!

Summary/services offered:
Challenging Minds LLC & Wellness Center believes in treating the whole person through offering holistic service options, including: Reiki, massage, reflexology, yoga, meditation, breath work and an infrared sauna. Challenging Minds also offers mental health counseling, for both groups and individuals.
The purpose of developing the Wellness Center in Bantam was to offer our clients more holistic options and also a space to utilize therapeutic group work. When a client’s whole self is considered, the outcomes are always better and more sustainable. Through a holistic approach to mental health needs, the client often feels more empowered, especially as they learn techniques that they can practice on their own, such as meditation and breath work.
Challenging Minds LLC began on Peck Road as a group practice in 2019, and continues to thrive, employing over 10 clinicians. All of our clinicians have diverse treatment specialties and the practice accepts all ages and diagnoses. Five of our clinicians are trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, which is an evidenced-based treatment for those struggling with anxiety, depression and especially trauma and phobias.
We will be having a 5k event on June 23 at White Memorial, celebrating 5 years in business! Visit our website to be included in the event or to become a sponsor. All proceeds will be offered to Greenwood’s Counseling Referral with a goal of donating $5,000 (with Challenging Minds matching all donations up to $2,500).
We are also adding a training arm for municipal services that recognize the need for additional supports, such as local fire departments and police stations.
