San Diego, CA, April 07, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Element Q Healing Center Opens May 5th in San Diego to Serve LGBTQ+ Mental Health Needs
A new era of healing and self-discovery begins with the launch of Element Q Healing Center, a transformative program dedicated to holistic wellness, trauma healing, and mental health treatment. Brought to you by the team at Monima Behavioral Health, Element Q is a mental health PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program) and IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) serving the LGBTQ+ communities of San Diego and beyond.
Located at 3750 Convoy St #310, San Diego, CA 92111, Element Q Healing Center provides a safe, inclusive space for individuals seeking profound personal breakthroughs. The center blends innovative healing methodologies with evidence based treatment modalities, offering a unique space for individuals to reconnect with their authentic selves and awaken their highest potential.
At Element Q Healing Center, clients embark on an immersive journey that integrates trauma healing, neuroscience, mindfulness, cutting-edge holistic modalities, and proven therapeutic techniques.
"Element Q Healing Center is more than a treatment center — it is a place of renewal, empowerment, and celebration," said Dr. Max Doshay, Chief Executive Officer. "We recognize that the path to healing is unique for each individual, and at Element Q, we stand beside our clients as they reclaim their stories and embrace the strength within them. Through identity-affirming, trauma-focused care, we stand beside our clients as they reclaim their stories and embrace the strengths within them. At Element Q, voices are heard, identities are celebrated, and strength is rediscovered."
Programs Offered:
PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program): Over 30 hours of weekly treatment, designed for LGBTQIA+ individuals ready for a deep dive into change. Most clients take a leave of absence from work, school, or daily routines to fully commit to their healing journey.
IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program): Designed for clients needing more support than traditional weekly therapy or as a stepping stone between a full-time recovery program (such as PHP or residential treatment) and returning to daily routines.
"Those who came before us — the courageous, the resilient, the ones who stood tirelessly for the rights and recognition the LGBTQ+ community holds today. They endured, they resisted, they carried the weight of progress on their shoulders. Their strength laid the foundation for a brighter future," said Kat Grassetti, Chief Clinical Officer. "Today, we stand on that foundation, inspired by their courage and fueled by a vision of gentleness, healing, and transformation."
