About Rippling Waters

Up in the Upper Catskills of New York, Rippling Waters facilitates men's recovery from addictive behaviors, traumas, and other mental health disorders in a tranquil 400-acre property, which has hiking and biking trails, a 12-stall stable for equine therapy, and a lake for swimming, boating, and fishing. Fish that swim in the lake include bass, trout, perch, sunfish, and channel catfish.
There is a spot onsite for smoking.
Rippling Waters admits 10 clients at a time for days that contain a mix of routine therapy and leisure time for exploration. Each day, they do group therapy and psychoeducation. 2 to 5 times a week, clients receive individual counseling based on their needs. A counseling method that Rippling Waters uses is depth psychology, where they identify hidden feelings, beliefs, and behaviors that subconsciously contribute to problematic behaviors. They use a technique called brainspotting to identify where painful memories and thoughts lie.
Additionally, Rippling Waters offers holistic and experiential therapies like yoga, meditation, and eco-therapy. Their ecotherapy includes gardening and nature walks to help clients become more self-aware and release stress.
Family may come onsite weekly if a client is participating in family therapy.
Clients may bring personal devices to store in a central office and access at designated times.
