Sylvia Brafman Mental Health Center

The Sylvia Brafman Mental Health Center is a mental health treatment center specializing in primary mental health diagnoses and co-occurring substance use disorders. Founded by Jaime Blaustein and Ben Brafman, the center addresses a gap in quality, evidence-based treatment focused on mental health rather than substance abuse. The center employs a unique "5 Lanes" approach that simultaneously addresses clinical, psychiatric, medical, spiritual, and vocational aspects of treatment. The program emphasizes trauma-informed care, family involvement throughout treatment, and long-term recovery planning. The center offers rigorous assessment and continuous evaluation of primary mental health conditions, complemented by innovative modalities such as TMS and genetic testing. Treatment is individually tailored and designed to move patients from existing to thriving. The center operates as an intimate facility with a cohesive team of five mental health experts, each pioneering their respective lane of treatment.
