stressed-out parent. A teen who struggles with ADHD. An executive whose anxiety and depression have led to drug abuse or other self-destructive behavior. Those are just some of the types of people who seek treatment at The Fourmula in Boca Raton. The center’s name grew out of a belief that four interconnected principles are key to successful treatment: Develop consistency in taking the proper course of actions over an extended period of time, thereby increasing the chance at lasting recovery. Robin Guterman-Perry, a licensed clinical social worker and certified fitness recovery coach, launched The Fourmula earlier this year after recognizing that a critical need was not being met. “The Fourmula is about combining physical, behavioral and mental

health in one place. It’s a one-stop shop for adults and adolescents,” says Guterman-Perry, who has worked in the mental health field for more than 25 years. “Until now, having it all under one roof has not existed in South Florida.” Guterman-Perry has worked at some of the most successful residential and outpatient dual-diagnosis treatment centers in the country. In setting up her center, she recognized the need to create a concurrent treatment program in which goals are designed to encourage self-efficacy, the development of healthy coping skills and resolution of underlying issues and problems. “What I found in my 25 years was that tunnel vision and focusing on one area with clients doesn’t work,” she says. Guterman-Perry and her team of

mental and behavioral health and wellness specialists operate under her patented formula for long-term success. The program is tailored to the needs of each client, with an emphasis on creating positive changes. The center provides individual, family and group therapy for adults and teens in an outpatient setting. Clients must adhere to a multidimensional approach, including increasing awareness about how nutrition, exercise and relationship connectedness play a role in healthy functioning and, when needed, the prescribing of proper medication. “We teach people how to keep themselves healthy emotionally, nutritionally and physically. And it’s all done in one space with the main goal being that consistency in actions over time equals recovery from anything,” Guterman-Perry says.

The Fourmula is located at 5499 N. Federal Highway, Ste. G, Boca Raton. For more information, call 561-617-1925 or visit fourmulacenter.com. 110
