The program consists primarily of small group therapy supplemented with individual therapy and family or couples therapy.

Its end goal is to treat underlying core issues for long-term healing and maximize client’s learning and practice of invaluable life skills.

We really do read your letters -- sometimes the cover letter matters more than the resume!
