Philosophy of Care

The Annex is a clinically sophisticated treatment program for adults 18+ navigating complex trauma, personality disorders, and attachment-based challenges. Staffed by master’s- and doctoral-level clinicians, our model integrates DBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and attachment theory within a developmentally informed, evidence-based framework. We deliver insight-oriented care alongside real-world application through experiential interventions, therapeutic housing, and life skill integration. With a low client-to-staff ratio and ongoing training provided to all team members — from clinicians to operations — we ensure consistency, attunement, and depth across the entire treatment experience. Designed for individuals who have not found success in traditional models, The Annex offers a flexible, immersive approach to long-term healing grounded in both relational and clinical excellence.

Developmental and Individualized Treatment

We meet clients at their current emotional and developmental stage — not just their diagnosis. Treatment plans evolve as clients build the stability and capacity needed for deeper psychological work. There are no fixed timelines; progress is paced according to each client’s needs and goals.

Depth + Functionality

Our model integrates deep emotional processing with practical skill-building. We help clients move beyond insight into real-life application — navigating relationships, routines, and responsibilities with greater confidence and clarity.

Outside-the-Box, Inside-the-Work

Healing doesn’t just happen in a therapy room. At The Annex, we bring treatment into the world — through community-based experiences, shared living, and real-time therapeutic interventions that foster growth in context.

Clinical Relationality

We believe secure relationships are foundational to change. Our therapeutic culture emphasizes trust, attunement, and healthy boundaries — within both client-staff dynamics and the clinical team itself.

Clinical Sophistication

Our treatment is grounded in evidence-based practices and informed by the latest research in trauma, attachment, and personality disorders. All primary therapists hold master’s or doctoral degrees and bring advanced clinical training to their work. We maintain the highest standards of care through weekly consultation, collaborative treatment planning, and a shared commitment to excellence. We also provide ongoing education from subject matter experts to all staff — including technicians, administrative team members, and our culinary and operations staff — ensuring every aspect of the client experience is intentional, emotionally attuned, and aligned with our clinical model.

Boutique Scale, Elevated Care

With a deliberately low census and high staff-to-client ratio, The Annex delivers highly personalized, attentive care. Every detail — from the clinical framework to the home environment — is crafted to support depth, discretion, and lasting impact.
