CLINICAL APPROACH
Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessment
Through diagnostic assessment comprised of proven psychometric tools, we seek to understand both the challenges alongside the strengths and opportunities that surround every individual. Assessments may take the form of a digital screening, a 90-minute initial evaluation appointment at any one of our locations or an intensive, multi-day clinical team assessment. Following the initial assessment, the Ethos team works to craft a specific treatment plan with collaborative treatment goals to ensure long-term recovery.
Psychodynamically-Informed Care
- We integrate a wide range of theories and techniques to inform a highly individualized approach to care
- We focus on “here and now” observations to better understand the ways in which the past shapes the present
- We seek to understand the causes and conditions that underlie symptoms, in order to create lasting change within patients
- The relationship between the patient and their treatment team is integral to our approach to care. Our team fosters deep relationships with patients built around trust, mutual respect and loving-kindness

PHASES OF TREATMENT
Treatment across Ethos Behavioral Health Group entities is divided into three phases. We view these milestones as cyclical versus linear processes.
- Focused on the restoration of hope
- Centered around the total transformation of the self
- Difficult experiences are transformed into meaningful insights to propel life forward and advance goals
- Once people have established basic recovery from their presenting problems, learnings are integrated into in a longer-term process of treatment
WHO WE ARE
Ethos Behavioral Group is unlike institutional treatment groups in that it was founded by individuals who are deeply passionate about patient care carried out with integrity. All of the founders are native Texans, with local roots and a global mindset.
The Ethos Behavioral Health Group story begins at The Lovett Center in 2014, with Robert Hilliker and Will Davis. As professionals and friends, the duo had the idea to provide centrally-located office spaces and administrative support tailored specifically to therapists’ needs. They opened The Lovett Center with this vision, and it immediately became clear that having 20+ therapists under one roof with different specialties naturally led to collaboration. Hilliker and Davis then focused their efforts on cultivating a space where therapists could collaborate to serve patients, both through traditional psychotherapy and a proprietary Intensive Outpatient Program.
