Combining relational psychoanalysis, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the program addresses personal, relational, and lifestyle issues while reducing the negative impacts of substance use. With individualized plans that may include group therapy, family support, and tools for psychedelic integration, we create a supportive environment for meaningful, sustainable change.
