Targeted Plans of Care

Targeted Plans of Care are scheduled series of appointments that are designed to specifically address the symptoms bringing you to treatment. Your series of appointments will focus on a specific intervention or approach that has been scientifically proven to effectively treat your diagnosis. Targeted Plans of Care are collaboratively selected and individualized by our clients and their providers.

Community Sleep Education Classes

We offer community classes for expectant and new parents to implement healthy sleep schedules. These classes consist of three 1-hour class meetings. A comprehensive intake session is not required to enroll in these classes. The ideal time to enroll in this class is in the third trimester of pregnancy or 8-10 weeks prior to the placement of a foster or adoptive child; however, if you already have a baby and are struggling with sleep, this class will be of benefit to you, as well.

We also offer community classes for clients struggling with CPAP use. In these classes, we provide instruction on CPAP adherence and desensitization. These classes consist of three 1-hour class meetings.

A comprehensive intake session is not required to enroll in these classes.
