The role of unresolved trauma in mental illness is understood and excavated.

We see those suffering with mental illness as people who have been through and were unable to process unthinkable experiences.

Treatment for mental illness is seen through the eyes of an archeologist who studies the patient’s history to excavate and analyze unresolved traumas.

Those suffering have access to a broader range of professionals trained in trauma modalities as mandatory components in the mental illness treatment protocol.
