Interested in joining the PYPP team?
Our mission is to provide compassionate, affirming, trauma-informed psychiatric and psychotherapy services that empower adult clients to reach their highest potential of mental and emotional wellbeing. We value the therapeutic relationship with clients, as evidence shows it is the leading factor to predict positive clinical outcomes. We aim to provide psychiatric treatment with a patient-centered and trauma-informed care approach that incorporates therapeutic interventions in conjunction with medication management. We respect clients’ autonomy within treatment by practicing shared-decision making and ensuring informed consent. "Protect Your Peace" is not just a phrase; it is a personal wellness movement and emotional framework that the ideal new hire models to their clients and practices in their daily life.

Compassionate
Compassion guides our team to listen, understand and meet each patient where they are. We seek to understand, not demand. We strive to create a non-judgmental space where individuals feel seen not just for their diagnosis, but for their lived experience. By combining clinical expertise with empathy and partnership, we aim to support healing that honors a person's whole journey.

Affirming
Our team is committed to creating a safe, inclusive space where every individual’s identity, experiences and values are welcomed, respected and validated. We intentionally use inclusive language, honor chosen names and pronouns and center care around each patient’s goals for treatment and beyond. We prioritize dignity through affirming care.

Trauma-Informed
We understand and recognize the impact of trauma and approach patient interactions with sensitivity, safety and respect. We prioritize transparency, collaboration and patient autonomy, working to build trust while actively avoiding re-traumatization. We aim to create an environment where patients feel safe, heard and in control of their healing process.

Boundaried
We maintain clear, consistent professional boundaries that foster safety, trust and ethical care. We balance warmth with appropriate structure, ensuring that the therapeutic relationship remains focused, goal-directed and clinically sound. By modeling healthy boundaries personally and professionally, we practice intentionality and show respect to our patients and to ourselves.
