Our Vision
Our vision is to create a comprehensive wellness program providing individualized care for those who desire the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle.
At The Banyan Tree, we customize an array of treatment components and therapeutic services, to help our clients achieve emotional balance, physical health, personal productivity and success.
Our multi-disciplinary team of clinicians, and other wellness professionals conduct intensive client assessments on an ongoing basis, resulting in extraordinarily individualized and dynamic treatment plans. We continuously evaluate each client's progress throughout his or her therapy, adjusting the care plan as necessary to produce optimal healing. Our services are specifically designed to support a fulfilling and productive lifestyle.
Your choice is an important part of our vision and choosing a counselor is a very personal decision. We encourage you to read our bio's and talk with our intake coordinator to help you determine which counselor and service will most appropriately meet your needs. Our highest intention is to help you find the "right fit". As we have very good relationships with several other practitioners in town, we do not hesitate to refer to other practices when appropriate.
