Program Philosophy according to the Executive Director, Debra Camarillo is:

It is our mission to deliver treatment services in a manner that is culturally competent and holistic, encompassing, body, mind and spirit.  The philosophy prescribed is one of healing that is derived through traditional values of Respecto, Dignidad, Personalismo y Palabra. We believe as we begin to address areas of imbalance and illness with a personal (personalismo) approach of respect (respecto) and dignity (dignidad) our word becomes more credible and a relationship of empowerment begins to develop. 

 It is through the encounter of “En lakech”, “tu eres mi otro yo” that we begin to understand that we are all part of each other and a community thus, begins the healing of ourselves. It is through respectful reflection that we understand that our negative imbalance impacts not only our own lives but our community at large and we have the opportunity through the community to find healing and support. Our “palabra”, “word” which is the true reflection of our intention (it betrays us and reveals us) then takes on a different meaning, it is a word of power and one of integrity and we must speak and reflect impeccably.  It is through the community that we are able to see a clearer reflection of our self and the areas that need to come into balance. It is the help of others that bring to our consciousness the areas that need to evolve and grow that we may heal together. 

Practicing these principles we work with our clients, help define their paths, encourage their progress, and evaluate ourselves and our methods to assure we are traveling in a positive direction. It is with this in mind that we embrace all those that come to our facility and have the confidence they will heal.
