A NEW VISION FOR RECOVERY

Bright Sky Integrative Recovery was founded in 2025 with a simple but radical idea: what if intensive outpatient care actually supported the whole person—body, mind, and nervous system?

For too long, Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) have focused on surface-level stabilization, leaving behind the deeper healing required for lasting recovery. At Bright Sky, we believe recovery isn't just about reducing symptoms or abstaining from substances. It's about restoring clarity, connection, and capacity for life.

We combine the latest psychiatric research with experiential therapies, trauma-informed care, and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience. Our approach is innovative, integrative, and rooted in the belief that every person is capable of change - especially when given the right support.

WHY WE STARTED BRIGHT SKY

Bright Sky was born out of both vision and a desire for something morE.

As longtime therapists, psychiatrists, and mental health professionals in Central Oregon, we saw a gap in care - especially for people who needed more than weekly therapy but weren’t candidates for inpatient treatment.

We were ready to move beyond the “same old, same old” models of care and programs that treated people like problems to fix. We envisioned a program that combined the best of modern psychiatry, trauma-informed therapy, and somatic healing—something innovative, relational, and grounded in what actually works.

Bright Sky exists because we wanted to build the kind of program we’d trust for our own loved ones.

OUR GUIDING VALUES

At Bright Sky, we:

  • Put the client at the center. We believe that if we truly understand someone’s story, their behavior makes sense.

  • See the whole person. We don’t reduce people to symptoms, diagnoses, or labels.

  • Honor dignity and choice. Every person deserves care that respects their autonomy and humanity.

  • Prioritize nervous system healing. Lasting change begins in the body.

  • Believe in possibility. Healing is always possible - even if it hasn’t happened yet.

Our Vision for the Future

Bright Sky is just getting started - and the sky’s the limit. We launched our Bend, Oregon location as a pilot site, a place to do things differently and do them well. As we continue to grow, our goal is to serve more people across the Pacific Northwest, while never compromising the quality of care we believe in.

We envision a future where comprehensive, respectful, trauma-informed recovery is the standard - not the exception.
