BDI's mission is to provide the youth and their families with the tools they need to remain emotionally resilient and hopeful through all of life's big and often unexpected changes. We value and respect the importance of personal insight and mental wellness, and seek to guide our clients in developing healthy habits that they will be able to carry with them through all of life's major changes and stages. We work collaboratively with the client, and with others within their support system, to help promote a healthy environment for the personal growth and development of every tween, teen, and young adult within our practice.
