Meet Our Team

At The Heartwood Program, our multidisciplinary team is dedicated to guiding individuals and families toward healing, growth, and resilience. With expertise spanning psychotherapy, psychiatry, education, and care coordination, our professionals create a compassionate, personalized space—whether addressing mental health, life-skills, gender wellness, emotional regulation, substance use, or supportive parenting. We work collaboratively across disciplines to ensure each person receives evidence-based support tailored to their unique journey.

We pride ourselves on providing superior care and have taken great strides to ensure such care is accessible. Our team of highly trained professionals have availability during the day and in the evenings, so as to minimally disrupt work and school related activities. Meet the skilled, caring professionals who make this mission possible.
