A dedicated clinical team of eleven professionals, who have a combination of over 130 years of experience, ensure that clients receive cutting-edge, individualized, and outcome-based treatment services. Our program staff are trained to provide a safe, therapeutic and homelike environment that promotes a true sense of healing, belonging, and ownership. The safety and caring aspects of the environment allow clients to practice, internalize, and generalize (self-regulate) healthy thoughts, feelings and behavior.

  • Supportive emphasis on a positive staff culture
  • Training in diagnostic-based treatment interventions
  • Attunement to the importance of family involvement
  • Attunement to caregiver attachment dynamics
