Here at Reverence Behavioral Health Services, we have a different philosophy when it comes to mental health. Unfortunately, in mental health, patients are often, not listened to, disrespected, ignored, and even abused. We acknowledge that many of our patients are suffering mentally, emotionally, and some even physically. We want to be as helpful and as therapeutic as possible to help ease the distress and suffering experienced by many who are brave enough to seek help.
We really like to focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship with our patients. This helps us to perform proper evaluations and truly assess the root cause of the disorder to build the right treatment plan for each individual. We would like to treat everyone with honor, respect, and “Reverence,” using the combination of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical treatments to help our patients get to the highest level of functioning and quality of life. We are looking forward to the opportunity to partner with you to get you on your feet, to begin thriving instead of just surviving. You are the driver and we are the navigators. Let’s get there together.
