At BTC we understand that your life outside the therapy office is where the real changes occur. It is important to have balance in your life in order to actualize your goals and potential. We believe that there are many facets to your life that need to be addressed in addition to those typical in therapy. Accessing the appropriate resources outside the therapy offices will only enhance the work that you do in the office and internally.
