Our Mission
Our mission is to treat young adults with respect and empathy in a structured and safe environment. We believe that treatment should occur on a continuum of care, and we are committed to providing developmentally focused care in the least restrictive setting possible. We assess each young adult to provide individualized treatment based on his or her strengths or deficits.
Continuum of Care
The period of young adulthood is challenging and stressful. Individuals progress from reliance on family to establishing a productive, independent life style.
For some young people, this transition can be more emotionally difficult. They may develop anxiety, depression or other problems in functioning. In these cases, professional assistance can reduce these symptoms and help them to resume their pursuits.
The Young Adult Program within The Department of Psychiatry offers a wide variety of services focused on the unique issues of young adulthood including:
Treatment Team
Our multidisciplinary treatment team for young adults includes:
- Board-certified psychiatrists licensed clinical psychologists
