The Lotus Center Mission

At The Lotus Center for Healing and Wellness, our mission is to improve mental health and wellness through an integrative and holistic approach that fosters healing and wellness in mind, body, and spirit. Our goal is not just to alleviate suffering but to empower our clients with diverse pathways toward growth. We accomplish this by bringing together a team of behavioral health experts in one place guided by the principles of collaboration, excellence, innovation, accessibility, and advocacy, to work with and on behalf of our clients.

Collaboration

We believe in the power of collaboration among team members and clients. Our team of skilled practitioners, including APRNs, mental health therapists, and a clinical chaplain, provides comprehensive, compassionate care in one welcoming and accessible place. Our team is dedicated to working together with our clients to ensure individualized care tailored to each person’s unique needs.

Excellence

We strive to maintain an extremely high standard of excellence in care, using only evidence-based treatments with careful and consistent monitoring of effectiveness. Our approach is grounded in good science, driven by inquiry, and open to new paradigms, ensuring our treatments are both innovative and evidence-based.

Innovation

Innovation is at the core of our practice. We adopt cutting-edge treatment modalities that are backed by solid research to provide our clients with the most advanced quality of care. Most recently, we have added a Ketamine Therapy program based on the evidence of its impressive effectiveness in treating depression, PTSD, and other mental health challenges. Our Ketamine Therapy program includes careful and intentional preparation and follow-up integration with a specially trained psychotherapist, which is quickly becoming a gold standard of care for this type of treatment.

Accessibility

We are committed to accessibility in mental health care. We strive to make our comprehensive range of treatments for mind, body, and spirit, including medication management, psychotherapy, support groups, spiritual care, grief support, vitamin infusion therapy, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, cannabis therapy, and ketamine therapy, accessible to those in need. We do this by providing all of these services in one location, and we bill many insurance companies for eligible treatments to help our clients manage costs.

Advocacy

Advocacy is integral to our mission. Beyond treating illness, we emphasize the broader concepts of health promotion and illness prevention, aiming to enhance overall well-being. We are dedicated to building community, enhancing collective expertise, and advocating for our clients to ensure every individual has access to holistic, compassionate, and effective care and the resources they need.

 

Through these guiding principles, The Lotus Center for Healing and Wellness strives to provide a nurturing environment where clients can achieve holistic well-being, empowered by collaborative, compassionate, and innovative care.

6.

Our approach is grounded in good science, driven by inquiry, and open to new paradigms, ensuring our treatments are both innovative and evidence-based.

7.

We attempt to make our innovative and highly effective therapies available in one place and accessible to all of our clients, ensuring accessible and equitable care for all.
