Care that fits your real life
If you live with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, trauma, or ongoing stress, it can be hard to know where to start. You might not be sure if you need medication, therapy, coaching, or something more specialized.
At ALTA MH you do not have to decide that alone. We help you understand what is going on, then match you with the right mix of services.
A clear path to mental wellbeing
Our team includes board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioners, therapists, and health coaches who work together. Most people start with a psychiatric evaluation or an initial therapy consultation, then build a plan that may include:
• Medication management for depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other conditions
• Individual therapy to process experiences, learn skills, and feel more grounded
• Health, life, and parenting coaching to work on habits, boundaries, and family dynamics
• Ketamine treatment for certain forms of depression, under careful medical
“I have been fortunate enough to work with Julia and cannot say enough good things about her as a provider. Her approach to care is dynamic and she goes beyond just looking at a diagnosis.”
- Fay, patient at ALTA MH.
