Join a growing community of practitioners who stand out in practice excellence by grounding their clinical work in a comprehensive healthy lifestyle approach with positive psychology interventions.

This approach facilitates positive health – a state of health and wellbeing achieved by adding independent, protective health factors, as well as addressing traditional risk factors, for flourishing. Emphasis on the positive health continuum promotes and supports treatment on the illness continuum and allows individuals to become their best selves in the face of medical illness and adversity.
