Celebrating over 170 years of service, LifeBridge is a leading non-profit behavioral health organization supporting adults, children, and adolescents through mental health and substance use recovery. Our clients benefit from a team of dedicated licensed clinicians who are diverse, empathetic, warm, experienced, and effective. As a proud member of the Urban Trauma Provider Network and National Child Traumatic Stress Network, our clinicians receive specialized training in evidence-based practices to address urban, racial, and other forms of trauma, known to aid the healing process.
