Our Holistic Approach
“We see the person behind the diagnosis. Here, you’re not a patient with a condition to cure, you’re a human with a life worth rebuilding.”
The core mission of AMFM is to give a compassionate and structured setting for clients to rebuild their lives in a meaningful way.
We’re not just managing symptoms, we’re also addressing the underlying causes of these mental health conditions using these four tenets:
- Personalized Plans: We start by listening to your story – assessing your symptoms, history, and strengths to create a treatment plan customized for you.
- Beyond the Medical Model: We focus on evidence-based and compassionate therapies to address root causes – using medication only when necessary for a sustainable recovery.
- An Array of Treatment Options: We provide a range of therapies ranging from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
- Community and Experiential Learning: We believe healing happens through community engagement and experiential learning – so you can build confidence and meaningful connections for lasting wellness.
This is how we encourage long-term mental wellness and equip our clients with the tools they need for a fulfilling life.
