Discovery Mood & Anxiety Program

Earlier this month, our staff hosted an open house at our newly decorated and freshly painted DMA Newport Beach facility. To say it was a success is a total understatement! Not only was the event very informative and inspiring, but the welcoming setting and gracious staff made for an event to be admired!?? ? “I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to see them beaming with pride when they were told by the professionals in attendance what a lovely inviting space they had with which to create a healing environment for the patients and families.” -Kathleen Ballue, Clinical Outreach Territory Manager?? ? While this open house was certainly a group effort, we owe a very special shout out to Erin Bates! As the daughter of Kathleen Ballue, she holds our helping community close to her heart and is the talented artist who painted our beautiful mural! If this isn’t the cherry on top of a collaboration of amazing efforts, we don’t know what is!?? ? #mentalhealthtreatment #accessyourbestlife?? ? ?? here: Kassie Caoile, MHA, Clinical Outreach Representative; Elizabeth G'Sell, LMFT, Clinical Outreach Representative; Erin Bates, Artist
