About Sylvia Brafman Mental Health Center

The Sylvia Brafman Mental Health Center (SBMHC) is a premier mental health treatment center located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. We offer a range of services, including inpatient and outpatient treatment, intensive outpatient programs, dual diagnosis treatment, psychiatric care, and therapeutic programs. Our approach is rooted in an integrated treatment model that combines evidence-based therapies with a holistic approach to care.

Founding and History

The SBMHC was founded in 2010 by Sylvia Brafman, a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. Ms. Brafman saw a need for a comprehensive mental health treatment center that could provide individualized care to patients with complex mental health needs. Today, the SBMHC is recognized as a leader in the field of mental health treatment, with a reputation for providing compassionate, effective care to our patients.

Mission and Values

At the SBMHC, our mission is to provide the highest quality mental health treatment to our patients in a supportive, caring environment. We believe that every patient deserves individualized care that addresses their unique needs and challenges. We are committed to treating each patient with respect, dignity, and compassion, and to helping them achieve lasting recovery and wellness.

Services Offered

Inpatient Treatment

Our inpatient program provides 24-hour care for patients with acute mental health needs. Patients receive individualized treatment plans that may include medication management, individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy. We also offer a range of therapeutic activities, such as art therapy, music therapy, and yoga, to help patients heal and recover.

Outpatient Treatment

Our outpatient program is designed for patients who do not require 24-hour care but still need intensive treatment. Patients attend therapy sessions and participate in therapeutic activities several times a week, while continuing to live at home or in a supportive environment.

Intensive Outpatient Program

Our intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides a higher level of care than traditional outpatient treatment. Patients attend therapy sessions and participate in therapeutic activities several hours a day, several days a week. The IOP is designed for patients who need more support than outpatient treatment can provide, but who do not require 24-hour care.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

We specialize in treating patients with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders. Our dual diagnosis program provides integrated treatment for both disorders, with a focus on helping patients achieve lasting recovery and wellness.

Psychiatric Care

We recognize that mental health disorders are complex and multifaceted, and that effective treatment requires a comprehensive approach that addresses all aspects of a patient's well-being.

Holistic Approach

We believe in treating the whole person, not just their symptoms. Our holistic approach to care recognizes the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, and emphasizes the importance of addressing all aspects of a patient's well-being.

Evidence-Based Therapies

We use evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused therapy, to help patients achieve lasting recovery and wellness. Our therapists are trained in these and other evidence-based therapies, and use them to develop individualized treatment plans that address each patient's unique needs and challenges.

Individualized Care

At the SBMHC, we recognize that every patient is unique, and that effective treatment requires individualized care that addresses each patient's specific needs and challenges. We work closely with each patient to develop personalized treatment plans that reflect their goals, strengths, and challenges.
