Clinical team leaders for the Retreat's LGBT inpatient program are Susan Pickford, RN (left) and Julie Praus, MD.
Our clinical staff is a diverse and caring group trained in sensitivity to issues that may affect you as an LGBT person. Some are members of the LGBT community. All are committed to your recovery.
"One of the most powerful processes in any therapeutic environment is to have someone on the clinical team who 'gets you.'"
-- Dr. Julie Praus
At the Brattleboro Retreat you'll find a safe, supportive community of professionals and peers in an LGBT-affirming environment. Free from judgment. Free from prejudice.
