IKANN Wellness provides evidence-based mental health treatment for young adult women in North Miami Beach, Florida. The organization operates as part of Yacholet, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and delivers care through two distinct pathways: a universal track and a Jewish cultural track.
Clinical care at IKANN Wellness is built on established, evidence-based modalities. These include Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which addresses the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behavior; and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured approach used in the treatment of trauma.
Levels of Care: IKANN Wellness delivers treatment across a continuum of care, allowing clients to move between levels of support as their clinical needs change. The organization provides an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), Outpatient treatment, Therapeutic Housing, and Aftercare.
Specialties: The organization concentrates on trauma, dual diagnosis, young adults between the ages of 18 and 30, women's mental health, and Jewish community support. In dual diagnosis care, co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions are treated together.
Universal and Jewish Cultural Tracks: A distinguishing feature of IKANN Wellness is its two-track model. The Jewish cultural track is intended for clients who want their cultural and religious context understood as part of their care, so that time in treatment can focus on clinical work rather than on explaining background and community life to clinicians.
IKANN Wellness operates under Yacholet, a 501(c)(3) Jewish nonprofit organization, and is led by founder Sarah Ruza. More information is available at ikannwellness.com.
