Practice Philosophy

---

Blossom Valley Behavioral Health is a private practice located in beautiful downtown Wenatchee in the historic Grand Central Building. We believe every person is a unique individual and deserves to be treated with kindness and respect. We believe it takes courage to reach out for mental health care and will treat you the way we would want to be treated with kindness and respect. We believe in creating a partnership with you as the client and us as the provider as we both bring our own expertise to the relationship. We believe the best care happens with shared decision making which is a process of learning about your values, experiences, preferences, and goals and pairing it with the provider's expertise in mental health. We believe medications are a valuable tool but are not the only tool to improve mental health. We believe in providing education about medication including: risks, benefits, and alternative options. We believe you have the right to change your mind regarding medications at any time and will work with you to ensure your care is safe. We believe there are many other valuable tools to improve mental health and emphasize the importance of psychotherapy, sleep, physical activity, nutrition, spirituality, meaningful relationships, and hobbies. We feel honored to be a part of your journey towards wellness.
