The Renfrew Center has a comprehensive approach to mental health issues and experienced staff members who specialize in the psychology of women and men. The Center's treatment programs respect each client's individuality and encourage active participation in their own growth and recovery. Treatment is designed to be collaborative rather than imposed, interactive rather than passive and personal rather than distant or neutral. The Renfrew Center's innovative programs emphasize the value and healing potential of healthy interpersonal relationships.

After an assessment, treatment goals and plans are developed in collaboration with the client and her referring therapist if applicable. Their goal is to provide the appropriate level of treatment based on each client's situation and to facilitate timely transitions to less intensive levels of care.
