Treatment Placement
Personalized guidance to match a person with the treatment center, clinician, or program that genuinely fits — without you having to learn a new industry.
How the work actually goes.
Choosing a treatment center should not feel like buying a car from a stranger in the middle of a hurricane. But it often does. The marketing is uniformly excellent. The pricing is opaque. The differences in clinical quality are enormous.
I have visited many of the programs I refer to. I know which clinicians are exceptional and which marketing teams are. I know which centers have a strong family program, which ones are appropriate for co-occurring eating disorders, which ones do trauma work well, and which ones I would never send a loved one to.
Placement work is research, advocacy, and logistics rolled together. We talk through your loved one's clinical picture, insurance and budget, and the family's needs. You get a small set of real options with the trade-offs spelled out. I help you make the call, navigate admissions, and stay in touch with the team once they're admitted.
The shape of the engagement.
- 01A clinical and family conversation to understand what's needed
- 02A short list of vetted, appropriate options with honest pros and cons
- 03Coordination with admissions, family programs, and aftercare
- 04Ongoing check-ins with the treatment team while your loved one is in care
Start with the situation as it is.
You do not need to know whether your family needs intervention, coaching, treatment navigation, or long-term support before reaching out. That is part of the work.
