You're hurting.
We're listening.
It’s normal to feel bursts of both sadness and joy in life, but the symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, OCD, and bipolar disorder that don’t go away on their own can rob you of your health and happiness. Left untreated, they can destroy relationships, ruin careers, and steal futures. Here at BOLD Health, we understand the challenges and stress presented by these disorders. We also understand that the environment we live in today is especially challenging and stressful. When you or someone you love is in need, you can turn to us for help.
We don't just serve OUR patients, we can serve YOUR patients too.
Our experienced and highly trained team, led by Dr. Katie Hirst, provides expert, evidence-based medical and psychiatric care for patients in residential, IOP, and PHP programs. Our work includes medical and psychiatric assessments, detox management, treatment of co-morbid psychiatric and medical diagnoses, and prescription of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for substance-use disorders.

Testimonials
"I was blown away by the treatment providers and the entire program. After 5 outpatient programs and 2 in-patient programs, I was lucky enough to find BOLD. They are completely different than anything out there. The BOLD Method will get you sober in a hurry and stay that way. I loved that there was nothing negative or shameful but they made me work on myself. The best I've ever felt."

"The doctor is one of the most exceptional medical professionals I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I have been seeing her for a few years and her skill as a physician and psychiatrist were in evidence from my first appointment. Her friendly demeanor, compassion, availability, empathy, treatment suggestions, and the willingness to 'get in the ring' with me have made all the difference.......I keep wanting to say she has saved my life, but the truth is I saved my own life, but she provided the road maps, the "keys to my car", the treatment tools,, while offering the empathy and compassion when I most need it. Thank you."
