I. The door you push
Who are you here for?
Two ways in. Choose the one closest to your situation.
for myself
I'm looking for help for myself.
Whatever brought you here, reach out. We will explain what to expect and find a time that works, in person or by telehealth.
Request a first visitfor someone I love
I'm worried about someone.
A partner, a parent, a teenager, a friend. Call us to ask how care works here and how to help them take the first step.
Call (667) 520-6074When it is 3:00 AM and your mind will not rest.
You are a person,
not a chart.
Care here starts with listening. Your plan is built around your history, your goals and your life, and it is explained clearly, so you can take part in every decision.

Care in your language

- 01
Personalized
Your plan is built around your history, your goals and your life, never a template.
- 02
Evidence-based
Treatment choices rest on current clinical evidence and are explained clearly.
- 03
Warm & judgment-free
You can speak openly. Nothing you bring is too small or too much.
- 04
Long-term wellness
The aim is lasting stability and better day-to-day functioning, not a quick fix.
II. The long nights
What you are going through has a name
You might be here because something has been weighing on you for a while. Here is what we treat, and how we would begin.
i.Stress & anxiety
Worry arrives before you do: in meetings, at night, on the drive home. Smiling through it gets tiring.
Evaluation, medication when appropriate, and solution-focused counseling.
ii.Depression & mood
Your mood has been heavier for longer than a few weeks, and even small things take effort.
Evidence-based treatment and regular follow-ups, at a pace that respects you.
iii.ADHD, teens & adults
Focus slips away, and staying organized takes more than it should, at school, at work, at home.
Diagnostic evaluations, medication when appropriate, behavioral strategies and coping skills.
iv.Bipolar disorder
Highs and lows are shaping your life, your work and your relationships more than you would like.
Long-term management focused on stability and careful medication monitoring.
v.Substance use
You are ready to change your relationship with alcohol or other substances, without being judged.
Non-judgmental SUD treatment: recovery, relapse prevention and stability.
vi.Life transitions
A move, a loss, a new role: life is changing, and you would like support through it.
Supportive counseling, and a plan that grows with you.
Whatever brought you here, you don't need the right words yet. We'll find them together.
Take a breath.
Reaching out is the first step. The rest, we take together.
