I’m here because I feel supported and trusted, and that matters to me. So many behavioral health companies are broken in ways that trickle down to the people they’re supposed to help. What’s different here is the effort. The way this team shows up for each other affects how we show up for clients. There’s transparency, a willingness to listen, and a real intention to do things better from the inside out. That kind of environment feels rare and worth being a part of.

Why I’m Here: I’m here to contribute to and be part of the change I’ve always hoped to see in our field. Ava is more than just a treatment center serving the Grand Junction community—it’s a home for staff and clinicians alike, where support is prioritized, personal growth is encouraged, and a model is set to inspire other behavioral health organizations
