Before we get you scheduled, we want to make sure you are aware that our clinic does not take insurance, and our clinicians are out of network providers and that prospective patients must be at least 4 years of age. *
Taking the first step toward healing is both brave and important—and we’re glad you’re here. At Compassionate Healing Institute, we provide specialized psychological and nutritional care for OCD, eating disorders, anxiety and related conditions using evidence-based treatments and comprehensive evaluations tailored to your unique needs.
Our mission is to create a compassionate, empowering space where individuals can build resilience and achieve lasting mental wellness. We are dedicated to providing affirming, culturally competent care for all individuals, including those who are LGBTQ+ and from diverse backgrounds, honoring every person’s story and identity.
