"Pluralitas non est ponenda sine neccesitate"
-William of Ockham (ca. 1285-1349)

Occam's Razor has had a tremendous impact in science but there is what might be called the Problem Solvers' Razor that can have a more direct, more immediate impact for our clients:

"The more you do of what you've done, the more you'll have of what you've got."
-Anonymous

We, at CHC, are problem solvers. We recognize the genius contained in that simple sentence. You can't expect different results if you cling to the methods that have resulted in the problems you face.

Mental illness is an enormous problem for those afflicted with it. It also brings major problems for those who serve them. CHC can help you solve those problems.

CHC is one of the leading mental illness consultancies in the country. We offer services that can give you a more efficient operation, reduce costs and improve the outcomes for those you serve. These results are not mutually exclusive. They can go hand-in-hand.

In concord with the intent of the anonymous quote above, we seek to offer a change in directions.

One other aphorism is particularly important to us: "If you think you can, or think you can't - you're right." CHC can.
