Treatment Planning

How We Develop Treatment Plans at Wily Wellness

At Wily Wellness, we believe that effective mental health care is a collaboration. Your treatment plan is not a rigid checklist—it’s a flexible, evolving roadmap designed to help you reach your goals, feel more empowered, and improve your overall well-being.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we work alongside you to create a plan that integrates therapy, lifestyle strategies, and—when appropriate—medication or ketamine treatment.

Our Treatment Planning Process

1. Comprehensive Initial Assessment

Your journey begins with a thorough initial appointment, where we take the time to understand:
✔ Your concerns and goals – What brings you here, and what changes would feel meaningful to you?
✔ Your emotional and thought patterns – How do your experiences shape the way you feel, think, and behave?
✔ Past mental health treatments – What has helped or hindered progress in the past?
✔ Your lifestyle and environment – How do factors like sleep, nutrition, movement, and relationships impact your well-being?
✔ Your medical and psychiatric history – Including current medications and any relevant health conditions.

By the end of this first step, we work together to define clear, personalized goals for therapy and overall mental wellness.

2. A Thoughtful, Solutions-Focused Plan

Once we understand your needs, we work wit you to develop a tailored treatment plan that includes:

✔ Psychotherapy Goals – Whether you're navigating a life transition, seeking relief from anxiety, or exploring deeper existential questions, your therapy will be structured around what matters most to you.

✔ Guided Reflection & Active Engagement – We often provide pre-session exercises to help deepen self-awareness and make therapy more effective. These may include journaling prompts, self-assessments, or structured reflections to explore between sessions.

✔ Practical Strategies – We help you build tools for real-life change, whether that means improving relationships, shifting thought patterns, or managing stress. Our approach is supportive and flexible, helping you explore new perspectives at your own pace.

✔ Integration of Lifestyle Factors – Mental health is deeply connected to nutrition, movement, sleep, and habit formation. We help you develop small, sustainable changes that support your well-being.

✔ Medication Management (If Needed) – If psychiatric medication may be beneficial, we take a measured, collaborative approach, ensuring that any treatment aligns with your personal goals and values.

✔ Ketamine Treatment Options – If appropriate, we offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) with a Wily Wellness provider or through a collaboration with Cathexis Psychedelics in Tucson. We also provide ketamine treatment sessions with a trained registered nurse in a safe and supportive setting.

3. Ongoing Review & Adaptation

Your treatment plan is a living document, not a fixed prescription. We regularly assess:

• Are you feeling progress toward your goals?

• Do we need to adjust our approach?

• What’s working well, and what needs refinement?

Therapy is not about endless sessions without direction—it’s about helping you build clarity, confidence, and self-efficacy so that you can move forward in your life.

A Collaborative Process, Designed for You

At Wily Wellness, treatment planning is a shared process, ensuring that your care feels personalized, meaningful, and effective. Whether you are seeking therapy alone or integrating medication or ketamine treatment, we will work together to develop a plan that supports your growth, healing, and overall well-being.

If we feel that you may benefit from specialized therapy such as EMDR, couples therapy, or intensive trauma work, we may refer you to a psychotherapist whose training and expertise align with your specific needs. (Learn more about the different types of mental health professionals here.)
