Our Mission
MISSION
Provide the best possible individualized patient care that will produce the most efficacious, long-term treatment results. We also mindfully create an environment for employees to reach their full potential within the behavioral health realm so that they feel as though they are equal contributors to the overall company vision.
VISION
We pride ourselves as leaders in mental health and see ourselves as creating a paradigm shift in the way behavioral health is treated.
TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY
Chronic mental health conditions – some of which are not completely understood – may require various treatment modalities. We offer a range of solutions that include medication management, non-invasive procedures, and various supplements. Patients experiencing persistent symptoms will achieve the best results when then are open to new treatments.

Therapy Team
Pao uses an integrative approach by valuing clients’ strengths and inner experiences while improving his/her insight into the dysfunctional thinking that leads to dysfunctional emotions and behaviors. He also believes that a client’s experience is part of a bigger story; one that they have the power to change and can gain the tools to do so. As a psychotherapist, it is Pao’s job to provide a safe atmosphere for clients to discover their potential and gain the insights and tools which will be helpful in their journey to living their best life. It is Pao’s perspective that we all have some form of trauma and attachment issues that affect our relationships and choices in life. Some of us struggle with these more than others. Without addressing these issues, we prevent ourselves from being the best version of ourselves. It is Pao’s wish to be the light in your darkness as you journey into a more colorful future through a lens of hope and opportunities.
Pao is currently accepting new clients!
