About Us

Creating opportunities for people to realize their full potential through behavioral healthcare is at the heart of all we do.

All people deserve a chance to lead a life of dignity and purpose. We envision a world in which everyone has access to proven and effective behavioral healthcare so they can cope with challenges, have healthy relationships, manage stress and make better decisions. To accomplish this, we must evolve the profession of psychology and transform the very systems that create barriers to change.
