About The Bay
The Bay, located in Byron Bay, Australia, treats one client at a time in exclusive homes throughout the Bay area. They treat primary mental health conditions, addiction, and co-occurring disorders. The Bay staff specializes in treating executive burnout, grief and loss, trauma, and eating disorders. Each exclusive client receives the full care and attention of a general practitioner, psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, therapist, and a host of support staff.
The Bay treats mental health and trauma with a personalized blend of evidence-based, holistic, and experiential therapies. Their evidence-based practices include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), eye movement therapy (EMDR), equine therapy, and neurofeedback. The Bay’s holistic opportunities include art therapy, Wim Hof breathing practices, hydrotherapy, acupuncture, and Qi Gong. After the day’s treatments, or during the weekend, clients can enjoy adventure therapies like scuba diving, exploring Byron Bay, golfing, and horseback riding.
Clients have 20 hours of individual therapy each week with their therapist, personal trainer, massage therapist, psychologist, and more. The Bay also prioritizes physical health and wellness, with diagnostic services and post-op care for those who require it. They facilitate detox with 24/7 medical oversight and holistic services for greater comfort. These include massage, acupuncture, and meditation. The Bay doesn’t offer group therapy, but rather tailors each 1:1 treatment session to clients’ unique needs.
The Bay aims to heal what lies behind addiction and mental health disorders. They focus on trauma treatment and help clients rewrite unhelpful thoughts and beliefs through CBT. Rather than seeing addiction as a disease, The Bay views it as an impermanent coping tool. With their personalized treatments, The Bay aims to provide new coping tools and, when possible, they help heal the cause of addiction. They can also provide relief from insomnia and counsel clients through grief and loss. The Bay treats co-occurring conditions like depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress (PTSD). Their eating disorder treatment helps clients restore positive body image and their relationship with food and exercise.

Clients at The Bay can enjoy adventurous weekends and relaxing evenings–or a mix of both. The Bay provides a chauffeur service to their client. With this, clients can attend to any work or family commitments they may have, or explore Byron Bay in their free time. Other weekend activities include tennis, surfing, deep sea fishing, and scuba diving.
The Bay welcomes families on site, offering family therapy sessions for clients and their loved ones. They aim to educate families on addiction and mental health to strengthen clients’ support system. After treatment at The Bay, clients have access to 12 months of virtual or in-person aftercare. This includes therapy sessions with their same therapist, medical check-ins, and any other support or referrals clients may need to succeed in their recovery.
The Bay treats just one client at a time. This approach offers complete privacy and exclusivity, with personal needs met swiftly. The Bay can cater their approach and therapies to the needs of each client, with opportunities for medical care, mental health care, addiction treatment, and a combination of all 3.
The Bay treats trauma and post traumatic stress (PTSD) as primary conditions and as they co-occur with addiction. They offer virtual reality as an innovative treatment tool for PTSD. The Bay treats mental health as a primary or co-occurring condition too, healing conditions like depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders.

We chose The Bay for two reasons, the ongoing support aftercare program and they did exactly what they said they would do. Our family member was in such a dark place and they are now thriving, back at work and although he still has challenges, the bay team has always been there to support when needed, usually it's just a phone call or a therapy session, but they are always there. Thank you to your amazing team.
