About Our Staff

PBHS first began in 2008 with a mission to provide evidence- based care in a timely, accessible and effective manner to our community.

Our staff follows a Dialectical Behavioral Therapy approach to treatment. Our overarching philosophy of care is based on a respectful relationship between the clinician and client. The PBHS clinicians work as a team to help patients achieve healthy goals with a clear expectation to create a life worth living.
