Psych Garden

Each decision is a shared one. We do not insist on medications or abstinence or groups. After a deep evaluation we present a menu of options and get to work on what you feel ready and able to do.

We apply research-supported approaches including medication assisted therapies, family engagement and education, DBT, experiential and emotionally focused therapies, and others. We are guided by science rather than just doing things the way they’ve been done.

Our approaches are targeted, individualized and efficient, not meandering or venting sessions.

We help you change your outside world too: your friends and family may need guidance to learn new ways to communicate; you may need help with sleep, nutrition, exercise, work or study skills through case management.

The goal is movement towards health, and we foster that with empathy and patient guidance. This is the essence of a harm reduction philosophy, essential for a trusting and respectful therapeutic relationship with a therapist where meaning and drivers for use can be unwrapped and a new identity can flourish.

We will help you heal the trauma and pain underlying your behaviors. Medications, contingency management and real world changes are often needed too. We have it covered.

Our expert psychopharmacology can manage complex mood disorders, anxiety and serious addictions, working closely with the therapy as a team.
