Community For Change

Since 2009, our mission at The Dorm has been to guide young adults
towards independence through evidence-based clinical therapies,
community support and practical skill-building.

It all started with the idea of doing things differently.

Where we saw gaps in traditional inpatient and outpatient care, we knew we had to create a bridge, providing a continuum of care that would offer a young person the tools they needed for independence and self-actualization. We knew we had to provide services and a community in the cities where many young adults seek to build their lives on their own terms.
Where we saw one-size-fits-all approaches, we envisioned creative, forward-thinking, client-centered treatment plans, plans tailored to the evolving needs of a young adult. We saw integrated services that would pair evidence-based clinical therapies with skill-building, academic, vocational, and health and wellness supports. We pictured an incredibly dedicated, licensed team that would meet clients wherever they needed support on their road to recovery; at home, at school and out in the community.
Where we saw isolation, we saw an opportunity to build a new type of community, a place where young adults could find fellowship and friendship, learn skills, heal and grow in a safe and affirming space.

What started as an idea is now a reality.

To everyone who has helped make this community what it is
— thank you. And if you are just getting to know us, welcome.
We can’t wait to invite you to The Dorm!

With gratitude,
