Why Palim Health?

Palim Health takes its name from the word palimpsest—a manuscript that has been written on, erased, and written on again. Though earlier writing may fade, traces remain, shaping what comes next.

Human lives unfold in much the same way. Our lives are not blank pages—we carry experiences, relationships, and stories that have shaped us—sometimes in ways we may not fully recognize. At Palim Health, we believe that in therapy, we do not erase the past; instead, we learn to understand it, integrate it, and gradually write new chapters.

Healing is not about starting over, but about building something new upon the pages that already exist. Together, we can work to rewrite patterns that no longer serve you while honoring the experiences that shaped who you are.

Family education sessions focus more on providing information, such as for families who have a loved one who has recently received a psychosis-related diagnosis.
