Our Clinical Philosophy
At Brainstorm, our clinical philosophy is grounded in evidence-based and trusted clinical methods, paired with a commitment to individualized treatment. No two people are the same, so no two therapy plans should look the same! Early in the therapeutic process, we take the time to learn about the client’s functional needs. We establish a foundation of understanding the specific outcomes that the patient is looking to achieve and form a collaborative partnership to meet those goals. We tailor our knowledge of best practices to the unique learning style of each patient.
