We are excited that Laura Gardner, MD, has joined our team as Attending Psychiatrist and Director of The Lodge Program. The program provides specialized, evidence-based care for individuals living with psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder with psychotic features, and substance-induced psychosis.

With over a decade of evidence-based, patient-centered care, Dr. Garnder brings leadership from Northern Westchester Hospital and Montefiore Medical Center. This move strengthens our commitment to specialized, evidence-based psychiatric care.

Dr. Gardner recently presented at our Program Spotlight series, where she discussed the clinical philosophy, structure, and future direction of The Lodge Program.

CE Credits — with a side of fun!

Thank you to our amazing colleagues who joined last month’s Improv Training for Psychotherapists, hosted by SHARE at Silver Hill. The day-long workshop featured improv-based activities designed to encourage connection, attention, listening, and engagement — critical skills in the practice of getting to know one’s patients, and friends! While no performance was required, the day was filled with energy, laughter, and creativity — plus 5 well-earned CE credits.

This Thanksgiving, we're reflecting on the power of hope and healing. 🧡

For over 25 years, Silver Hill's Patient Financial Aid Fund has helped remove financial barriers to life-saving care. In the past five years alone, we've provided over $5 million in assistance to more than 140 patients.

Behind every award is a story of transformation—parents reunited with their children, individuals rediscovering their light, families restored.

"I truly believe I would not be standing here today without the gift of financial assistance, which is the gift of life." — Christy, Patient Financial Aid recipient

The term “gaslighting” is often used loosely, but true gaslighting is serious.
