About Us:

Our mission is to empower individuals with mental health concerns to achieve their full potential and thrive in society. We are dedicated to making a profound impact by providing a compassionate and supportive environment where true healing can begin.

Hazelbrook was founded by Gene Shvedov in 2016, inspired by his own recovery journey. Witnessing the need for something better, Gene established Hazelbrook to provide personalized tools, relentless support, and constant guidance. Since then, we have impacted thousands of lives and expanded our services to include a renowned recovery program, a non-profit community center, clinical services, sober living, and now, a dedicated behavioral health division.
