What’s important to you
is important to us

Cultural sensitivity

As a community-based facility, we understand what you need in a clinic — and in a clinician. We are keenly attuned to the cultural nuances and unique dynamics of the clients we serve, and will tailor our therapy and recommendations accordingly.

Confidentiality

In a close-knit community, you may prefer not to meet people you know. A lot of thought was invested into the setup of our clinic — we utilize private waiting rooms and even offer backdoor access to ensure client privacy is respected.

Professionalism

Mental and emotional health is so vital, nobody wants to compromise on the quality of treatment. At Sipuk, your high expectations are met masterfully. Our providers are skilled and knowledgeable, and are carefully supervised by expert leadership.

Hands-on leadership

It’s reassuring to know that your treatment will be supervised weekly by practitioners who are top in their fields. Should you ever have a concern, you’ll find them readily available to talk things over with you.

“We found a therapist who has a lot of experience working
with boys and teens, and he’s amazing — a lifesaver for my
son. There’s a side door, and his therapist waits for him
there so he shouldn’t be uncomfortable.”

“When my daughter, who is the nicest, kindest kid you can ever meet, had a psychotic episode in camp, I panicked. I was determined to get her the right help, even if it would mean remortgaging our house. I couldn’t imagine that excellent psychotherapy could be covered by our Medicaid insurance. But here we are, six months later and in a MUCH better place.”

Dovi’s
transformation

At home, Dovi* was a lively, energetic, and talkative child. At school, he had turned into a silent recluse. Having been a victim of bullying in his class, Dovi was afraid to open up or try to make friends. His academic struggles didn’t help matters, and every day of school was torturous. His parents, desperate to get him help, reached out to Sipuk Clinic.

When they came for Dovi’s first appointment, they were blown away by the magnificent play therapy rooms, complete with a huge array of toys and games. Dovi was enchanted and quickly settled down to play. However, this experience transcended mere play. With guidance from his warm and compassionate therapist, Dovi gradually lowered his defenses, acquired new skills, and overcame his fears — all while enjoying himself.

Over time, Dovi's confidence blossomed, leading him to take brave new steps in social interactions. He also agreed to work with a tutor so he could keep up with the class. Months later, his teachers have seen a transformation — Dovi is thriving while using the new skills he picked up in the very special playrooms at Sipuk.
