Video Transcript: Why Sylvia Brafman Is Different From Other Mental Health Treatment Centers

[00:01]
The first treatment center I went to, which was a specific center for OCD people, I felt like they didn’t care how much you tried.

[00:10]
I was trying to do my best, but they were like, “If you can’t meet the goals that we want you to meet, then you’re not allowed to be here.”

[00:17]
But Sylvia Brafman, I always felt like the staff believed in me and, like, believed that I could do more than I thought I could.

[00:25]
The intention here is primary mental health, primary psychiatric care with secondary, if necessary, substance use disorder.

[00:34]
You’ve got Dr. Seely with 30-plus years of experience.

[00:37]
You’ve got Ben Brafman, who has run treatment centers and is honestly one of the best clinicians I’ve seen in my career.

[00:44]
And they’re right here every day helping families interact.

[00:47]
We are set up clinically to tackle depression, anxiety, OCD, schizophrenia, bipolar.

[00:54]
None of the other programs that we looked at were willing to spend time talking with us. Ben Brafman said a sentence to me that I will never forget.

[01:02]
And that sentence was, “We are going to do everything in our power to make this the last treatment program your daughter will ever have to go to.”

[01:10]
We are not a treatment factory. We are human beings.

[01:14]
We have our own experiences, we have our own journeys, and we have empathy and compassion.

[01:19]
And so, if you’re looking for a place that is going to involve connection and intimacy, then the Sylvia Brafman Mental Health Center is the right place for that.
