What We Treat

Whole-person care for what you're carrying

Our clinicians specialize in trauma and the mental health conditions that travel with it, with a treatment plan built around you, never one-size-fits-all.

Trauma & PTSD

Complex, chronic, and acute trauma, including PTSD from single or repeated experiences.

Anxiety

Persistent worry, racing thoughts, and the physical toll of living on high alert.

Depression

Low mood, exhaustion, and a loss of interest that doesn't lift on its own.

OCD & Panic

Intrusive thoughts, compulsive cycles, and sudden panic that disrupts daily life.

Personality & Dissociative

Borderline, dissociative, and identity-related conditions, treated with patience and care.

Dual Diagnosis

Trauma and substance use treated together, because one rarely heals without the other.

What clients say

Client testimonials

Recovery is hard to picture from the outside. Here's what it was like for people who came through our program.

I went into the program completely hopeless, with little will to live, and came out stronger and more hopeful than I ever thought imaginable. I felt safe processing my deepest traumas, and the team helped me build a plan to get through the crisis at hand while building my resilience for whatever comes next.

You are seen, heard, and held, and you leave remembering that you have always been, and always will be, whole.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

An IOP gives you in-depth, structured treatment without checking into a facility. You attend small group sessions plus a weekly one-to-one, then go home to your own bed, family, and routine. It's well suited to people stepping down from inpatient care, or anyone whose symptoms need more support than a weekly therapy appointment can offer.
The program runs as a 3-day or 5-day option, Monday to Friday, with sessions from 3–6 PM, plus a weekly individual session. Most people are in the program for eight or more weeks. The afternoon schedule is designed to fit around work, study, and family. It's open to adults aged 18 and over.
