The Stables Autism Program at Pasadena Villa

As a psychiatric residential treatment center, we offer individualized, comprehensive treatment for a wide range of mental health disorders. Our residential and PHP treatment levels share the primary goal of equipping our clients with the tools they need for a successful transition back to everyday life. Our natural setting in the mountains of East Tennessee, which borders Smoky Mountain National Park, provides gorgeous views. Smoky Mountain Lodge is the perfect environment to escape the busyness of daily life and slow down enough to focus on healing. It also includes access to animal-assisted therapy at our sister location, The Stables.

At The Stables, we recognize that all great minds do not think alike. To help clients reach their full potential, we offer a wide range of individualized programming tailored to their pace and needs. Our primary goal is to empower neurodivergent individuals — including those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) — to explore the possibilities of an independent life comfortably. Located on a serene 25-acre property, our home-like 9-bed facility offers a low staff-to-client ratio for personalized attention and support. The Stables creates a realistic environment that mirrors the daily challenges and triggers clients may face, offering a more authentic experience than traditional residential treatment programs.
