Who We Are
Sequoia Mental Health Services is a non-profit agency that serves a wide range of ages, ethnicities, and cultures. Sequoia is dedicated to achieving a culture of excellent service for our community. While excellence is always a work in progress, we focus on:
- Building strong, evidenced-based skills for our clients to develop independence, self -sufficiency and community. Ensuring that the progress that our clients make is THEIR progress and is not dependent on having to be in therapy or other services for the rest of their lives.
- Dealing hope — Being passionate about providing great services and ensuring that our clients are being seen on a regular basis according to their level of care. Dealing hope also involves helping our clients build necessary skills to be successful in the community
History
As a non-profit agency, Sequoia has grown and evolved over the years in order to remain true to our commitment to meeting the changing needs of our clients. In our earliest incarnation as Homestreet in 1981, we focused on providing much-needed affordable supportive housing to individuals being discharged from state hospitals. In 2004, Homestreet merged with a second local organization to become Homestreet-Banyan Tree, Inc., in order to expand our services to include licensed residential treatment facilities. Later, in 2008, our name was changed to Sequoia Mental Health Services, Inc., to more accurately reflect our commitment to our home here in the Pacific Northwest.
Our Mission
At Sequoia, we create opportunities for recovery and wellness by partnering with people who struggle with behavioral health and/or addictions issues. We believe that all people have the ability to recover; to develop the skills and resources needed to determine their own path; to manage their own wellness; and to re-discover their own identity.
