About Us
Our Story
Gavdore Integrated Care
At Gavdore Integrated Care, we believe every individual deserves compassionate, respectful, and personalized healthcare. Our practice was founded with a simple mission: to provide comprehensive addiction medicine and integrated mental health services that address the whole person—not just the symptoms.
We understand that substance use disorders and mental health conditions often occur together. That’s why we combine evidence-based addiction treatment with psychiatric care to help patients achieve lasting recovery, emotional wellness, and improved quality of life.
Led by a doctoral-prepared, dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), we are committed to delivering high-quality care in a supportive, judgment-free environment where every patient is treated with dignity and compassion.
Whether you’re seeking treatment for addiction, anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or another behavioral health condition, we’re here to support you every step of your recovery journey.
