Addiction Management Program
Our comprehensive Addiction Management Program utilizes medically-assisted treatment in combination with an Intensive Outpatient Program for adults 18 years and older who are struggling with an alcohol or substance abuse.
Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
The Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder Program focuses on providing short-term evaluation and treatment services to children between
the ages of three and 16 years who have been diagnosed with ADHD (or are suspected
of having this condition).
Children and adolescents are accepted into either the assessment program, the treatment
program, or both, through direct referrals or referrals from other providers.
Chronic Pain Management
The Chronic Pain Management Program focuses on providing pain-focused psychological evaluation, psychotherapy, and educational
services to adults living with chronic pain conditions. These include (but are not
limited to) patients with:

- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Chronic headache/migraine

- Pain management interventions, such as medical implants and back surgery.
Our program teaches you strategies to reduce pain intensity through stress management
so that you may engage in more meaningful and valued activities with less pain and
enhanced mood. The evidence-based approaches we use include:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy for chronic pain (CBT-CP)
- Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
- Empowered Relief™, an evidence-based, single-session pain class that rapidly equips
patients with pain management skills.

direct referrals or referrals from other providers. To enhance accessibility to this
population, all services are provided either virtually or in-person.

illness often includes one of the oldest and most effective treatments - Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT). We also offer a new treatment that uses magnetic energy called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
