About Us
Welcome to
Laurel Grace
At Laurel Grace, we understand that the current healthcare system, particularly in the mental health field, isn't working. We know the challenges people face when searching for quality care, such as long wait times, high costs, and limited accessibility. Women, young adults, and children are often disregarded in psychiatry, despite having the highest rates of mental health conditions. We believe that everyone should have access to compassionate and skilled practitioners who prioritize listening, empathy, and understanding.
Our mission is to transform the way mental health and wellness services are delivered. We refuse to let insurance premiums, deductibles, and copays dictate the quality of care. We focus on comprehensive, integrative solutions that cater solely to your needs. By challenging traditional healthcare conventions, we aim to restore dignity and control to people seeking mental health support. We put people first at Laurel Grace, and we are eager to integrate all of our skills, education, and experience into a single, powerful place. Come join us on this journey towards wellness, where we can rewrite the narrative of how care is sought out and delivered.
