MEET THE TEAM

CLINICAL DIRECTOR

We believe in treating others in the same manner in which we would like to be treated. We believe that if you need an ear we are here but we are sure you are wanting a solution and that is what we are focused on accomplishing with you. We meet clients where they are in life and work from that place. It is very difficult to take the first step towards feeling better and we applaud you for doing so.
