Who We Help

If you’ve tried treatment before or you’re just beginning to explore your options, you’re welcome here.

Our Programs

Whether you’re taking the first step or looking for support after a setback, we offer flexible levels of care to match your needs, your schedule, and your goals.

  • Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) a structured, day-based program for those who need more support than outpatient care but don’t require overnight stays.
  • Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) Ideal for those balancing recovery with work, school, or family life—this program offers focused therapy several days a week.
  • Outpatient Treatment For ongoing support or step-down care, outpatient services provide therapy and accountability in a lower-intensity format.
  • Medication Management Our psychiatric team works with you to find the right medication support, whether for mood, anxiety, trauma, or co-occurring diagnoses.

Every person’s path is different. That’s why we draw from a range of evidence-based approaches and trauma-informed care models:

  • 12-Step Facilitation Support in working the steps, finding a sponsor, and building community in or alongside traditional recovery frameworks.
  • EMDR Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing A powerful tool for processing trauma, EMDR helps reduce the emotional intensity of painful memories.
  • CBT and DBT Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy help you build insight, regulate emotions, and change patterns that aren’t serving you.
