About right fit COLLABORATIVE
right fit COLLABORATIVE offers over a decade of clinical expertise and treatment industry knowledge to licensed professionals, families, and clients at no cost to assess, evaluate, and construct the right-fit individualized treatment plan through communication, collaboration, and care.
Over the past 18 years of working with therapists, psychiatrists, individual clients, and their families, I have received calls from people who have had multiple treatment experiences, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, and still have not received the treatment they need or deserve. It breaks my heart. I think: If only they had called me.
When a family member or individual calls me, I begin with a clinical assessment that includes family history, current life stressors and situations, diagnostics, and medication history. I talk about their life circumstances, such as their ability to take time off from work and whether they have children to care for, insurance plans, and financial resources.
I have visited most of the major treatment centers in the country for mental health and addiction, and I guide my selection of treatment options based on primary clinical needs and any secondary symptomatic issues. I have chosen to work with a spectrum of treatment resources for mental health for adults and adolescents, chemical and process addictions with dual diagnosis, as well as specialty programs for specific populations, such as professionals and those with chronic pain. I refer outside of the resources I represent when appropriate.
