With 16 years in recovery, Jimena’s own journey has inspired her to support others through theirs. She focuses on creating a safe place where patients feel supported and cared for, and accompanies them during recreational and therapeutic activities as part of their recovery process.
With a maximum of 18 patients at San José and 10 at Riverside, every member of the CRTC team truly knows every client.
The scale is deliberately small. It means treatment plans are genuinely individualized. It means clinicians can monitor progress closely. And it means no client is ever lost in the system.
The team works together across disciplines. What the physician observes informs what the psychiatrist evaluates. What the therapist hears shapes what the holistic team supports. The client's experience is held across the whole team, not siloed in individual sessions.
