About Us

Chapters Family Treatment Center utilizes evidence-based practices and action based therapy with the core belief that people are not defined by a diagnosis and limited only by their imagination. 

 

We believe that diagnoses only classify symptomology and do not define or label us. We treat every individual, uniquely, rather than focusing on labels and diagnoses.  

 

We provide an enriching environment that promotes creativity (drama and performing arts, dance, music, poetry, photography, and more), encourages healthy skill development, and most importantly, builds self-confidence and self-efficacy. These correlate with overall wellness and resilience. 

 

We chose Chapters as our program name because we believe that our past, does not define us because many more chapters can be still written in our life journey.  We will help clients explore one’s story, and with consistency, repetition, proper planning, and relevant life tools, we will help write a clear healthy future. 

​ 

Chapters offers group, individual, and family therapeutic services for all ages in forms of a partial hospitalization program, intensive outpatient program, and outpatient psychiatric services. All our services utilize a multidisciplinary team approach including complementary medicine that is personalized for every client. 

 

Our center offers smaller group sizes and more individual sessions than other PHP/IOP programs.
