Our philosophy
What we believe
Medication is one part of treatment, not the whole of it
Medication addresses symptoms. It doesn't address what's driving them. Programs that combine counseling and group therapy with medication are substantially more effective than medication alone.
Group therapy does something individual therapy can't
Sitting with other people who are going through the same thing is, for most patients, the part that changes them. It multiplies the opportunities for feedback, insight, and growth.
There is a level of care between therapy and the hospital
Inpatient care is brief and restrictive. Weekly office visits are slow. The gap between them is where most people actually need to be treated, and it's where we're strongest.
Recovery takes longer than a week or two
Research shows six weeks or longer produces the best results. It takes that long to understand, apply, and practice new skills until they hold under pressure.

Most people put off the first call for months. It costs nothing, nobody is going to push you into a program, and you will come off the phone knowing more than you did.
