“What for me seems a unique aspect of WH care is the patience and kindness and spaciousness with which the Windhorse clinicians approach the task of supporting an individual who is struggling. Certainly, that’s not a unique aspiration to mental health professionals but I think it is uniquely well done in my experience here.” 

–Earle Shugerman, MD
