    • Psychiatric Rehabilitation: Lead psychotherapy rehabilitation services and skills training, focusing on community living skills necessary for independent living and socialization.
    • Creative Interventions: Utilize evidence-based therapies creatively, such as practicing exposure therapy during everyday activities or teaching mindfulness in a natural setting.
    • Case Management: Offer comprehensive case management services, including accompanying clients to appointments and supporting their overall treatment journey.
    • Culturally Competent Care: Deliver trauma-informed, strengths-based, and culturally competent care to all clients.
