In 2023, the organization expanded to provide primary care and supported employment. Each expansion effort aims to have a menu of services readily available while diversifying revenues.

Mission/Vision

The Mission of David’s Loft Clinical Programs is to provide clinically sound therapeutic services. Clinically sound is
defined by the use of treatments, strategies, and interventions proven effective through empirical research and peer review. The Vision of David’s Loft Clinical Programs is to make clinically sound therapeutic services available to anyone in need, focusing on those populations that traditionally lack access to quality behavioral and somatic health services.

Evidence Based Practice

Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered, directive approach designed to enhance intrinsic motivation for change by exploring and resolving ambivalence. It is particularly effective in behavioral health settings, helping individuals make positive lifestyle changes by strengthening their commitment to change through collaborative conversations. MI emphasizes empathy, open-ended questions, reflective listening, and affirmations to empower clients in making self-directed decisions.

Integrated Behavioral Healthcare
Integrated Behavioral Healthcare is a holistic approach that combines medical and mental health services to provide comprehensive care. This model promotes collaboration among primary care providers, psychiatrists, therapists, and other healthcare professionals to address physical and psychological needs simultaneously. By integrating behavioral health services within medical settings, patients receive more coordinated and effective treatment, leading to improved health outcomes and increased access to care.

Peer Support
Peer Support involves individuals with lived experience of mental health or substance use challenges providing guidance, encouragement, and mentorship to others on their recovery journey. Peer support specialists offer emotional support, share coping strategies, and help build self-efficacy through shared understanding and empowerment. This evidence-based practice enhances engagement in treatment, reduces stigma, and fosters a sense of community and hope for individuals in recovery.

Contingency Management (CM)
Contingency Management (CM) is a behavioral therapy that uses positive reinforcement to encourage desired behaviors, particularly in substance use disorder treatment. CM provides tangible rewards for meeting treatment goals such as maintaining sobriety, attending sessions, or adhering to prescribed medications. CM enhances motivation and improves treatment adherence. This approach is highly effective in promoting behavioral change, reducing substance use, and improving long-term recovery outcomes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented form of psychotherapy that helps individuals identify and change maladaptive thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By focusing on cognitive restructuring and behavioral interventions, CBT equips individuals with practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use disorders. It is one of the most widely used and empirically supported treatments for a range of mental health conditions.
