The CODE Framework
CODE is a comprehensive therapeutic methodology created by Dr. Eris and Clayton Winans, refined across 3,600+ clients and 77,000+ sessions. It provides a structured yet flexible approach to mental health that goes beyond traditional therapy.
The name CODE represents the step-by-step therapeutic process: CORE → SELF → GOAL → PLAN → WORK → LIVE. Each stage builds on the previous, creating a compounding effect that accelerates healing and growth.

Six Dimensions of Thriving

Connection, intimacy, and relationships that nourish you
Purpose, career, contribution, and professional fulfillment
Joy, creativity, leisure, and activities that restore you
Mental clarity, learning, cognitive health, and inner dialogue
Physical health, energy, movement, and self-care
Meaning, spirituality, values, and your deeper purpose
