The Beginning

So how did it begin? Simple.  Jeanne Vilim, Calli Sutton and I were doing conjoint family therapy at Austin Travis County MHMR.  We were very successful at working with families for whom nothing else had been successful at resolveing their issue(s).  Well, it worked so well that ATCMHMR decided that it was not cost effective to have 2-3 therapists working with a family.   Jeanne had wanted to start a private practice and decided that it was the right time to employ both Calli and me as contract therapists in her private practice.

The Practice

Things started falling into place quickly for the private practice.  It was not long after our discussion that Calli found a space that Jeanne could rent for her private practice.  Jeanne, Bobbi Evans and Guy Maddox decided to split the rent at 3144 Bee Caves Rd., suite #6 three ways.  Within a few weeks we had a space.  Since Calli and I did not yet have our ACP licenses we were not able to be in private practice, so we were hired on a contract basis. 

Treeline: an innovative theapeutic practice

After much soul searching, and an afternoon session with Jeanne's friend Sheila, we came up with the name Treeline.  Soon we had a few clients and the rest, they say, is history.
