In addition to providing expert mental health consultation, Full Circle is one of the few providers that offers restoratively based anger management sessions, parenting skills, crisis management, professional development training, and group facilitation as needed. Full Circle’s trauma-informed, culturally appropriate, and restorative interventions are among the very best.
At a time when social justice concerns are at an all-time high and cultural sensitivity is a “must” in our communities, it is difficult to find an agency with a multi-faceted approach such as Full Circle that values relationships, and whose baseline is always about fostering respect, while focusing on repairing harm and restoring broken or hurting systems with compassion.
If you are looking for a capable, competent, and committed partnership look no further than the Full Circle team.

Thanks to Full Circle’s technical assistance and hands-on involvement in this program, a majority of JAC participants were able to successfully re-integrate with their families, schools, and communities, and avoid further contact with the juvenile justice system —which was quite impressive, to say the least.
I can say without reservation that Full Circle’s ability to navigate the complexities involved in integrating mental health and restorative justice with this challenging population and environment was an invaluable asset to the JAC program. Full Circle’s excellent work and expertise were rightfully acknowledged in an independent evaluative process report sponsored by the Center for Court Innovation.
Full Circle has my highest endorsement and recommendation.

Finding committed partners who truly understand restorative justice values and are deeply committed to engaging meaningfully with the community at the grassroots level is equally challenging. Fortunately, we were able to engage the services of Full Circle, which we believe is a one-of-a-kind, mental health, restorative practices resource that has made significant contributions to our organizational culture.
Full Circle’s unique ability to offer both strategic guidance and professional individual interventions that are holistic, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, and restoratively based, has been revolutionary for our organization.

I have known and worked with Dr. Derek Suite for more than sixteen years and I can say that he is one of the most gifted and skilled physicians I have ever known. His expertise in matters of medicine, psychology, mental and professional performance, and his ability to weave a holistic approach that analyzes issues from a Biological – Psychological – Social and Spiritual perspective is unmatched. There are no comparable professionals in the field that can match what Dr. Suite and the Team of Full Circle provide. The integrity, knowledge, and competency they offer are matched by an authentic and genuine caring empathy that ensures safety and confidence. I have seen first hand how his work with the Clergy has benefited our faith community and I wholeheartedly endorse and recommend their services. I can honestly and sincerely think of no one better capable and better suited to help navigate critical and crucial life challenges than Dr. Suite and his Team.
