Our Framework.

What is ATILEM®?

ATILEM®, is a therapeutic framework, designed and facilitated by Dr. Melita T. Stancil, which helps alleviate distress in individuals coping with complex intergenerational psychopathology.

When working with families, ATILEM® integrates clinical, social, cultural, and environmental influences to promote personal empowerment.

Operating as an outpatient therapeutic framework, ATILEM® specializes in cases where previous therapies have proven inadequate. It provides direct clinical support while coordinating additional targeted therapies for both individuals and their families. Achieving the ATILEM® standard of care often involves an interdisciplinary team approach.

As the primary clinician, Dr. Stancil oversees care management, coordination, and communication among all care providers, striving for the highest quality of care. Patients benefit from direct access to Dr. Stancil within flexible time frames. Additionally, Dr. Stancil collaborates with each patient's medical intervention teams and orchestrates multidisciplinary professionals to enhance the overall health and wellness of patients and their family systems.
