Mission of Center for Hope of the Sierras

Our mission at Center for Hope of the Sierras is to welcome each person who enters our doors with an excitement about their willingness to heal and with respect for the courage it takes to enter treatment. We offer compassion, dignity, and a commitment to each person's unique healing process.

We are dedicated to providing an environment conducive to healing, personal growth, and recovery. We strive to achieve this through our carefully selected staff, our efforts to promote communication, and through our nurturance of all who enter treatment at the Center.

We believe that each individual affected by an eating disorder is facing a challenge to take both their physical and emotional needs seriously. We are aware that individuals with eating disorders may have difficult connecting with these needs, and we therefore strive to discover and address the individual needs of each patient in a collaborative therapeutic process.

We also understand that many who are affected by eating disorders overemphasize the needs of others, while underemphasizing their own needs. Therefore, we will work with patients to help them to achieve greater harmony in balancing their own needs and the needs of others without becoming overwhelmed by shame and self-doubt.

We believe that it is imperative that treatment not only uncover the emotional issues the person is struggling to live with, but also to provide effective coping methods to help them withstand the pain that unburying these issues may cause. We are committed to helping individuals become able to attend to themselves in a way that is kind and loving.

At Center for Hope of the Sierras we ask each patient to be as kind to them selves as they would be to another who has walked in their path...
