The Sylvia Brafman Mental Health Center

"As a previous employee, I have nothing but fantastic things to say about Sylvia Brafman. Being a former director, I am fully acquainted with the inner workings of the program - both clinical and admissions (business/marketing/finance). I can say without hesitation both sides are run ethically and well. The clinical program is outstanding, patient care is put first, and the staff will be 100 percent invested in your loved one’s mental health and recovery. The CEO is second to none, in recovery himself, bright. The patients rave about his career launch program, that aids clients in reintegrating to the job force (he provides mentors from the finance world, resume help, and connections to resources I wish I had!) Nuances like this, and this is one of many, are what set Sylvia Brafman apart. If you’re investigating the program as a potential employee, take the job (if they hire you, they are VERY selective!) or, if you or a loved one is struggling with mental health, stop looking and get to Sylvia Brafman!"

"We have been so grateful for the treatment our daughter has been receiving from Syvia Brafman. After dealing with several other mental health facilities it was clear from the beginning that this place was different. The owners spent 90 minutes on a zoom call with us (on a Saturday morning)to discuss our daughter's needs before we even committed to treatment. We were skeptical after having other programs make promises to us that did not happen after she entered treatment. This was not the case with SB. She was paired with a fantastic therapist (shout out to Deana) who has been her biggest supporter and equally supportive to us as well. She has treated my daughter as a person, not a disease. The community of clients there have been so supportive of my daughter and warms my heart every time I see them interact on Family Nights.The love and compassion that she has experienced at Sylvia Brafman is what every family looks for when they send their child for treatment."

"We chose Sylvia Brafman for our child as they were professional right from the beginning and answered all our questions patiently. They have a customized plan for each patient that really worked out for our child. Even after discharge, they continued to stay in touch to ensure that the transition was smooth. We think SB is one of the best mental health centers we have seen; they really care for their patients."

"In my experience, mental health is often misunderstood and even ignored. There is a common misconception that a person can control it if they are just a little stronger or self-disciplined. Because of societal stigma, many people try to self-treat or even ignore the symptoms, which only leads to a deepening of the problems. At the Sylvia Brafman Center, patients and their families are provided a place where they can feel accepted and find hope. While interventions are often limited to a few days stay in a hospital or weekly outpatient counseling, Sylvia Brafman provides a comprehensive and holistic care plan that realistically leads to recovery and healing through seamless in-patient, out-patient, and virtual options. Their services are guided by a diverse group of devoted experts, and patients are active in their own treatment. There are relatively few treatment centers that support their patients and families in long-term solutions that can result in such radical changes. The pathway may be challenging and is likely to have many ups and downs, but the Sylvia Brafman team is dedicated to doing what is necessary to support the patient and family as their new life unfolds."

"Sylvia Brafman Mental health center has been so amazing for my family. They are detailed and professional. They really work hard to individualized the plan of care for anybody participating in the program. I love the aspect that the family is is a key in recovery. I really like the four pillars and the length of time that a participant stays. They also have a career launch for someone who needs support. I appreciate their guidance and education you receive."
