Heritage approaches the treatment and care of the adolescent from the point of view of the most crucial issue being that of RELATIONSHIPS. At risk adolescents often do not trust and tend to pull away from the care of adults; consequently, the development of a strong therapeutic relationship is our primary focus.

Heritage's professional staff includes psychiatrists, general practice physician, physician assistant, clinical/therapy staff (LCSW, LMFT, LPC,MSW) and trained mental health workers who make up our staff.
