With a good doctor, good treatment, and a well trained family, you can have a life worth living.

 

The key ingredient to helping patients and their families is love and support. Patients benefit from having an army of support— having someone who goes the extra mile with added visits, phone calls, and text messages makes a difference.

The severity of mental illness cannot be handled in an hour of therapy per week. Many patients have lost their transition into adulthood due to their disorder. It takes hours per week to learn the skills to live successfully in the world.

Many patients have tried everything— from doctors to treatment centers and more, and yet have had limited help when trying to live on their own. Sometimes what is most needed is a holistic approach.

Being able to coordinate and find the right doctor, treatment, and housing takes a skilled, resourced clinician.

Patients and their loved ones have been through so much pain and trauma. James is the right person to help the family and patient journey to wellness.
