The Professionals Program developed by Glenn Siegel, MD and Mary Pittman, MS, RN offers unique and comprehensive treatment for adults with serious psychiatric and substance use disorders. Their combined fifty plus years experience in the area of mental health/addictions led to the realization that the single, most important factor influencing emotional, spiritual, and physical health is authentic connection to self and others. This treatment program is designed to address symptoms of disconnection manifested through mood, anxiety, and personality disorders as well as the disease of addiction. Although intelligent, talented, and possibly accomplished, many people perpetually sabotage their professional and personal lives through inappropriate expressions of anger, professional boundary violations, inability to work collaboratively, and disabling cynicism. Such ingrained self-destructive and  interpersonally damaging  interactions are actively addressed, utilizing a model based on five relational values that guide all aspects of treatment. Both staff and clients are expected to adhere to these values under an overarching commitment to awareness.
