About Confluence

Our Mission

Our mission is to unlock an individual’s potential to heal, change and grow by providing effective, high-quality mental health treatment and transformative experiences.

Our Promise

Person-centered care is at the heart of our treatment model. Our focus is on working together to achieve individualized treatment goals. Confluence provides transparent, clear and effective communication between treatment teams, participants, families and referral partners. Confluence provides a collaborative team approach to treatment, offering the skills and insights of many treating professionals and support staff.

Our Goals

We help our clients with individualized assessments to find the right level of care through our continuum of services.

Helping Young Adults Heal & Grow

Individualized treatment plans, a strong focus on building sound relationships, an emotionally safe group culture and the benefits of natural environments provide the foundation for personal change.

Transformative Family Experiences

Opening lines of honest communication brings families together to address challenges. Our focus on family process and long-term wellness helps families build lasting relationships.

Delivering the Highest Quality Care

Our commitments to safety, efficacy, privacy, and quality aims to exceed expectations. We do so by delivering experiences with the highest level of service for participants and their families.

Trust- the Basis of Our Collective Success

Our participant's success is built upon the trust and confidence we inspire and create with each participant, their family and our staff.

The Confluence Difference

Young Adult Specific

Confluence is one of the only primary continuum of care programs exclusively-designed and built from the ground up for the young adult experience. Working alongside young adults is all we do and all Confluence has ever done. This decision informs our work and program. What does that mean? It boils down to participant and program collaboration, respect for young adult choices and voices, and the recognition that young adult experience is unique from other age brackets and life development stages. Therefore treatment, care, supports and programming must be different to meet these needs. The same is true for family systems, parenting a young adult is fundamentally different to parenting an adolescent and our work with families reflects this.

Confluence is accredited by The Joint Commission, the leading healthcare accreditation organization. Accreditation underscores Confluence commitments and dedication to exceptional quality, oversight and transparency, and continuous improvement in patient care. Achieving this accreditation requires Confluence to undergo thorough evaluations, ensuring the program meets rigorous standards that enhance safety and treatment effectiveness. The Joint Commission accreditation process promotes a culture of excellence, where care protocols are consistently updated based on the latest evidence-based practices, and staff receive ongoing training to provide the highest level of care. Ultimately, Joint Commission accreditation reassures participants and their families that Confluence is committed to maintaining superior care, fostering trust and confidence in the mental health services provided.
Confluence is owner-operated with its founders and directors on-site daily. Confluence is not part of a larger corporate structure and does not have outside investors influencing decision making. As a small organization, decisions are made onsite and from a participant-centered lens without compromising on quality of care. This is the life’s work of the program owners, who collectively have decades of experience working in mental health care.

Confluence has always believed we can do more than is the standard of care. Our model is built to give participants and their families all they need and more to make profound and meaningful change in their lives. And our focus is on how to get there. The decision has informed our care which provides team-based professional services, inclusive of doctors, psychologists, therapists, social workers, medical staff, direct care staff and operational team members. 

Our people make our program successful. Confluence values, cares and provides for our team members. Our goal is to hire the best and to train and develop the very best staff teams possible. Our intention and attention is to create a work environment supportive of our staff, helping them realize their professional and personal goals. In doing so, we recognize our people can then do their best work with stronger intrinsic motivation, a deeper sense of meaning, and a greater level of engagement, which improves outcomes for participants. Confluence is committed to the professional development of all its staff and we seek to support this goal through compensation, training and creating a work environment enabling our people to excel.

Confluence is a growth organization, meaning we look for our own avenues of learning, improvement and development, much as our participants do. Sometimes our greatest teachers are our participants and their families. Confluence owner’s and staff regularly seek and complete trainings and continued education. Confluence is member to professional associations and regularly engages with colleagues and programs in support of best practices development and continued improvement.

Our Promise

Confluence is committed to its mission of providing the highest quality and effective mental health treatment and support for young adults and their families. Our guiding principles of being focused on participant-centered care, reaching treatment goals, transparent effective communication with stakeholders and providing exceptional service to families are the center of our work.
