Atypical Psychiatric Services was born from our love story—one that began while working side by side in a substance use treatment facility. In those early days, we not only discovered a connection with each other, but also a shared sense of purpose. What started as a partnership in care quickly grew into a deeper commitment—both personally and professionally—to support individuals navigating some of life’s most difficult challenges.As our relationship grew, so did our passion for serving others. We found ourselves drawn not only to those facing substance use disorders, but also to individuals living with serious mental illness—people whose stories are often complex, layered, and too often misunderstood. It became clear to us that this work was more than a career; it was a calling rooted in compassion, respect, and the belief that every person deserves to be seen as more than their diagnosis.​Through our experiences, we witnessed firsthand the many barriers that stand in the way of truly effective and equitable mental health care. Too often, treatment felt rushed, impersonal, or reduced to a one-size-fits-all approach—despite the growing understanding that mental health is deeply personal and cannot be addressed with a “cookie-cutter” model. We saw individuals trying to fit into systems that were never designed to honor their uniqueness, and we knew there had to be a better way.​That belief became the foundation of Atypical Psychiatric Services. We created this practice with the intention of doing things differently—of slowing down, listening deeply, and truly getting to know the people we serve. We are committed to staying current with the latest advancements in mental health care while never losing sight of the human connection at the center of healing.​Here, your differences are not something to be overlooked or minimized—they are valued, respected, and used to guide your care. We believe that understanding your story, your strengths, and your individual needs is essential to building a treatment plan that actually works for your life.

At Atypical Psychiatric Services, you are not just a patient—you are a person with a story that matters. And it is our privilege to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, growth, and a more hopeful future.
