About

Wellspring is a psychotherapeutic and educational center dedicated to healing through relational approaches -to self, others, creation, and Spirit -which touch and bring forth the wellspring of personal being unique to each individual. Wellspring assists individuals and families in working through the emotional, psychological and educational issues that prevent them from establishing and maintaining healthy and meaningful lives. Wellspring develops and promotes psychotherapeutic and educational services and approaches that effectively treat, in a comprehensive and personalized way, individuals and families suffering from severe emotional, relational and behavioral problems. Wellspring works in relationship to families, schools and care givers to build, restore or enhance the ability of clients, students and their families to live productive and rewarding lives in their own homes, schools and communities. Through teaching, training and the demonstrated effectiveness of our models, we extend our treatment approaches, methods of parenting and the values that underlie them, to our regional communities, to the professional community at large and to public service agencies, in order to enhance their capacity for treatment and prevention. Wellspring's approach in each of our programs will be inspired by and proceed from a core value that is understood, committed to and mediated by our staff. This cornerstone of our relational approach to treatment and education is an awareness that inherent in each individual is a wellspring of personal being, that is unique, unrepeatable in essence and imbued with spirit. Respect for the sacredness and dignity of each individual, client or staff, proceeds from this belief. In support of this foundational value, each program and service will be designed in size, scope and the holistic nature of its approach to support this personal “heart” of Wellspring as the core of what we do.
