Who We Are

The Stricklin Crisis Stabilization Unit provides comprehensive crisis mental health services through a multidisciplinary team of mental health professionals, including psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, and crisis specialists. The CSU utilizes a strengths-based and trauma-informed care approach to treatment that emphasizes the rights of individuals to receive services that are tailored to their mental health needs and promote their unique journey to recovery.
