Our Beliefs
Mission
Encounter Wellness Mental Health Services wishes to make a welcoming environment for all people seeking mental health care while treating patients with respect, dignity, and empathy. We hear you and we are listening. Empowering you to empower yourself.
Vision
Our goal is to educate our patients, their families, and the community on the importance of understanding the causes and effects of mental illness. It is necessary to overcome and eliminate the stigma surrounding mental illness in our society.
Mental health challenges affect people from all racial, cultural, and social backgrounds. Yet, barriers such as bias, systemic inequities, and cultural perceptions can prevent individuals from seeking the care they need. We are committed to breaking down these barriers by fostering a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive environment for all. Our approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and providing care that is free from bias or judgment.
Our Beliefs
At Encounter Wellness, we believe in the power of compassionate, culturally inclusive mental health care. Our commitment is to provide each person who walks through our doors with the support, understanding, and effective treatment they deserve.
1. A Foundation of Empathy and Respect
“At Encounter Wellness, empathy guides everything we do. We are here to support your journey, wherever it begins.”
2. Compassionate Care
Encounter Wellness was founded on the understanding that mental health care must go beyond treatments and medications; it must also resonate with the personal and cultural backgrounds of those we serve. We are dedicated to providing culturally inclusive care for the community and others who seek an inclusive, stigma-free environment.
Our Approach to Inclusive Care:
- Listening with Intent: Understanding your story and the unique factors shaping your journey.
- Building Trust: We value open, judgment-free communication, creating a space where you feel safe to express your needs and concerns.
- Acknowledging Stigmas: We aim to break down the barriers to mental health care by addressing and dispelling stigma within our communities.
3. Evidence-Based, Innovative Treatments
Encounter Wellness is committed to using the most effective, evidence-based treatments to address mental health conditions, including medication management and innovative solutions like Spravato (esketamine) for treatment-resistant depression and Cobenfy for schizophrenia.
Our treatment philosophy balances advanced medical interventions with compassionate support, helping you find the path to relief and resilience through scientifically backed approaches. We believe that healing is a journey, and we are here with you, every step of the way.
4. Your Partner in Wellness
