The Life Adjustment Team

Our Mission

The U.S. Surgeon General's Report on Mental Health states that only one-third of Americans with a diagnosable mental disorder actually receive mental health services in an average one year period.

In the fifteen years I have worked in the field of mental health, I have seen how profoundly the absence of treatment or low quality of care can impact the life of a person afflicted with a mental illness, as well as the lives their friends and family. However, since I began working with The Life Adjustment Team eight years ago, I have been privileged to be a part of a Team dedicated to developing and implementing programs that empower clients to overcome their challenges and reintegrate into their families and community, forging ever stronger ties with their loved ones.

Mental health issues affect everyone. Most of us can say that we know someone who is directly affected by, or related to someone challenged with mental illness. The Life Adjustment Team is on the forefront of mental health advocacy in several venues:

Participation in the national campaign to de-stigmatize mental illness
Lobbying to change legislation that limits access to treatment
Providing an educational format to inform people of current advancements in treatment
Offering state-of-the-art rehabilitation services from intensive outpatient programs to crisis consultations and referral service

Whether you are a consumer, family member, friend or professional, it is essential that we all work together to find practical solutions, share ideas, and bring about the necessary changes to make quality mental health care a reality for every person who needs it.

If you have questions or comments, or just need some direction or referrals, please give me a call. We take pride in being of service to the mental health community and have a vast network of resources and practical solutions we will gladly share with anyone in need.
