Pivot Behavioral Health: Shifting Minds, Transforming Lives.

Talking to a mental health professional can be helpful for a variety of reasons
Mental health professionals help clients build emotional resilience and learn how to access the full range of human emotions. Many do not realize that emotional suffering is normal and essential to a rich lived experience. As Thich Nhat Hanh says, “No mud, no lotus”. When we try to avoid uncomfortable emotions we also end up restricting our access to joy and happiness. Emotions are not singular, they do not exist in a persistent state. However, when negative emotions dominate daily life or impair function, professional help is essential. Finding a mental health professional that provides a therapeutic space to work through these issues can be life changing. Whether it is with Pivot, or another trusted professional, don’t be afraid to get help.
“When the foundation of your house is solid, it will endure whatever weather comes” – founder and CEO of Pivot Behavioral Health, Brea Di Dato

Pivot’s treatment philosophy :
“We believe in treating the whole person, not just a diagnosis” – Brea
Our team of Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners provide exceptional service. They are invested in the outcomes of their clients and it shows. At Pivot, we build holistic, whole person, mental health treatment plans with our clients.
Whole person mental health care is an approach that addresses the individual’s emotional, physical, social, spiritual, and environmental well-being. It goes beyond just treating symptoms to understanding and addressing the root causes of mental health issues. We help people identify their barriers and break through to achieve success.
Principles of holistic care with Pivot Behavioral Health
Individualized:
We recognize that each person is unique and requires a personalized treatment plan.
We consider all aspects of a person’s life history and health history. We screen for medical conditions and work with your team to ensure your health is optimized.
Integrative:
We utilize a range of psychotherapies (CBT, ACT, solutions based), yoga, mindfulness, nutritional counseling, supplements, and other complementary therapies that are evidence based.
Mind-Body Connection:
We understand and treat the interconnection between the mind and body. Mental health does not stop at the neck.
Empowerment:
We encourage and empower individuals to take an active role in their own health. We see our role as an educator and advocate, not a dictator to tell a person how to live and what to do. We support bodily autonomy and informed decision making; you decide how to proceed forward.
We teach self-care practices, coping strategies, and resilience-building techniques. We help you build a robust toolbox of resources so you can take on whatever life throws at you.
