There isn't one single door to walk through and get help

You’ve asked your friends. You’ve asked your neighbors. You’ve asked your friends’ neighbors. You’ve asked your neighbors’ friends. You’ve asked the people at church, the community, random strangers you come across in the community. And yet it’s still impossible to find a therapist.

Maybe you even started with a therapist because they say they take your insurance, and then you start with them and they don’t take your very specific insurance. You work through the list that the insurance gives you, and you come up blank every time. There you are, just left over and over and over again.

Another phone call. and another. 

It’s exhausting to look and you’re ready to give up

 

Even us therapists have had some difficulties with this from time to time. Sorting through websites, Psychology Today profiles, or other profiles just to figure out if someone is an expert or they’ve listed that experience because they worked with one client one time and are trying to get the referral from you rather than making sure you are the best fit for them.

Or so it seems.

You’ve become your own guide to the mental health system, or you’re relying on your closest friends as you avoid another episode of crying into your arms, feeling hopeless, lost, and confused and overwhelmed.

You've been lost in a system that wasn't built to be navigated by you.

Today is the day where this ends because you haven’t found another therapist looking to just see if you’re a good fit for them.
 
You’ve wandered onto the path that you needed the most and least expected: a mental health professional willing to do an intake with you and try to point you in the right direction.

Let me introduce myself……….

raging against the machine

Howdy hey, weary traveler.
I’ve been all over the care spectrum; outpatient, IOP/PHP, Residential treatment, and emergency department crisis care. I’ve seen a lot, loved it a lot, and learned a very simple truth. 
 
its not easy to get mental health care. And i’m here to change it. 
 
My work in the ER in Crisis Care has helped me became an advocate and educator on the mental health care system, finding niche referrals, and raging against the frustrations that the us healthcare system has left us with right now. 

and now i’m bringing the same energy to my outpatient office. 
 
My assessments are meant for those who need help, but don’t need the ER. You know you need help, but you aren’t in that space that the time in the hospital is needed. Maybe its a therapist once or twice a week, maybe its something more intensive and you aren’t sure where to start. 
 
Just show up and i’ll help you get to where you need to go.

It’s really that simple. schedule below, we’ll do a comprehensive intake, and you’ll get several referrals for a good fit therapy, provider, or program that can help with what you’re experiencing. 

What if we don’t take your insurance?

You’re assessment is free 

I truly do care more about getting you to the right provider rather than profit. We’re one part of the bridge to a well community. 

 

 

Here how it works

  1. You finally hit the place where you aren’t sure where to turn to, but know you need the help.
  2. You found me, a therapist Who wants to help you get to the therapist, prescriber, or program that will best serve you. (Congrats! You’ve already made it to step two)
  3. You’ll think about it, contemplate it, because it sounds too good to be true (It’s not – pinky promise).
  4. You schedule an intake below. What you see available in the calendar is what I have available for intakes. I’ve left my evening slots open just to reach the people like you, either functioning during the day but barely hanging on, or having all these responsibilities and things that you have to accomplish and are trying to squeeze your mental health in the evenings. 
  5. After you schedule myself or one of my admins. We’ll reach out to you to get the necessary intake paperwork complete. This is very important so that we can skip over some of the generic information that is needed for an intake of any kind and get to the more detailed, oriented assessment part. 
  6. You leave that session feeling seen, heard, understood. I’m confident that I will be able to get you at least two different referrals for programs that will be the fit that you need.
  7. I’ll work my network, both the existing one and the people that I trust, to find those promised endpoints for you.
  8. I send them your way. Some clinicians I know really well or are part of the cooperative that I am in, and I can get you scheduled for your first session. Other people that I work with will have to reach out to schedule a technical intake. For those situations, I am happy to send my intake paperwork to them so you can skip a good portion of what we’ve already gone through, or I will print my intake for you and you can take it with you.
