Based in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and supported by a wide national referral system, Riggs offers a welcoming and optional sequence of services for adults 18 years and older experiencing complex mental health difficulties. We deliver an array of therapeutic strategies within a comprehensive psychodynamic model. Special attention is given to patient empowerment and personal accountability, as we explore the deeper reasons for behaviors and their effects on relationships. People approach us with multiple health labels, but these do not always reflect the full scope of their hardships or resilience. In addition, our Online Intensive Outpatient Program provides remote therapy for college students and emerging adults (18-30) in Massachusetts.

A strong priority is placed on individual autonomy and ownership, while investigating the motivations behind actions and their consequences on connections with others.
