The Guest House Ocala

The injuries we receive on our journey through life often go unwitnessed and unacknowledged.

The Guest House Ocala provides unparalleled, premier-quality treatment to those who suffer from self-defeating behaviors brought on by trauma and its underlying issues. The Guest House Ocala provides the highest concierge style treatment services to those who suffer from trauma and underlying issues, causing self defeating behaviors, such as substance and process addictions, anxiety, and depression. The hurt and the shock embedded by these painful memories instill a sense of disconnection from our bodies and impair our ability to process our true feelings. At The Guest House we believe that sharing your story with others creates an environment of emotional intimacy and trust, a place of connection, that allow us to experience real forgiveness and reconciliation. We believe sharing the darkness in a sanctuary of love and compassion is the birthplace of transformation.

We’re honored to share Marla Shaul, our Clinical Lead and Licensed Therapist, in her recent Great Day Live Tampa interview.
She spoke about the importance of trauma-informed recovery and how true healing happens when we address the core wounds beneath the surface.

At The Guest House Ocala, guests don’t just find compassionate care; they step into a magical campus. The beauty and peace of our environment become part of the recovery itself, creating the safety and space needed to heal deeply.

As the seasons shift, nature reminds us of the power of change and renewal. 🍂

At The Guest House Ocala, we bring the outdoors into the recovery journey - from equine therapy to time spent with our beloved therapy llamas. These experiences help guests ground themselves, reconnect with the present moment, and explore healing in ways that go beyond words.

Surrounded by beauty and stillness, nature becomes more than a backdrop, it’s part of the therapy itself. Swipe through to see some of our companions in nature that bring healing to life at The Guest House.

Do you remember the names of our two llamas? 👀

🐬 Fins Up from Miami!

Our co-founder John West enjoyed time with a wonderful group of interventionists and friends from the Association of Intervention Specialists, including Dr. Robert & Jennifer Sanchez and Jonathan Rauch.

We’re always grateful when professional partnerships grow into real friendships, and even more so when there’s a little Dolphins spirit from Hard Rock Stadium involved. 💙🏈

World Mental Health Day reminds us that healing isn’t just in the mind - it’s in the whole person.

In this special feature, Dr. Yousef Elyaman, our Functional Medicine Director, shares how mental health is deeply connected to physical health. Unresolved trauma can impact inflammation, immunity, and even heart health - but healing begins when we feel safe, supported, and connected.

As Dr. Elyaman says, “The nervous system is like an alarm system - when you feel safe and supported, that alarm can finally turn off.”
Today and every day, we invite you to:
- Check in with yourself.
- Reach out to someone you trust.
- Offer support, sometimes listening is the start of someone else’s healing.

Because mental health is physical health. Together, let’s make the conversation safe, open, and stigma-free.

October is National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month.

Depression isn’t always easy to recognize. Too often, these symptoms go unnoticed until they feel overwhelming.

That’s why mental health screenings matter. Screenings aren’t diagnoses, but they provide clarity, reduce confusion, and can be the first step toward meaningful support.

At The Guest House Ocala, screenings and individualized assessments guide our care, helping us design personalized treatment plans that address whole-person healing: mind, body, and spirit.

If you or someone you love has been struggling, this month is a reminder: you don’t have to carry it alone. Healing begins with awareness.

Last week, The Guest House was honored to welcome a group of behavioral health professionals from the West Coast to our campus.

It was a meaningful day of powerful connection - sharing stories, exchanging expertise, and coming together around a shared commitment to recovery and healing. These conversations don’t end when the event does; they carry forward into the work we do every day with the individuals and families we serve.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to host this group and already look forward to the next time we gather.

The Guest House Ocala and Grace & Emerge Recovery recently co-hosted a community dinner in Austin, Texas.

The evening brought together therapists, interventionists, and colleagues from treatment facilities across the region. It provided an opportunity to exchange insights, discuss best practices, and strengthen relationships within the recovery community.

By fostering collaboration and building partnerships, we aim to expand support networks and improve outcomes for those we serve. We’re thankful for the meaningful connections made - and for a wonderful evening spent together!
