About Us
Compassionate mental health care that begins with listening, respects your story, and supports lasting healing.
THE HEART BEHIND THE CARE
I’ve always believed that mental health care should feel human.
Growing up, I saw how deeply mental health struggles can affect people—and how much it means to feel supported, not judged. That experience shaped my purpose.
After more than a decade in psychiatric nursing, I’ve worked in inpatient units, outpatient clinics, and crisis care. What I’ve learned is simple: healing starts with trust and listening—not just treatment plans.
Focus on Mental Health was built around that principle. I wanted to create the kind of care I’d want for someone I love—calm, thoughtful, and centered around the whole person.

A JOURNEY INTO MENTAL HEALTH
A career built on compassion, shaped by experience.
With 13 years of experience in psychiatric nursing—spanning hospitals, crisis centers, and outpatient settings—Theresa has cared for people at their most vulnerable.
After earning her Post-Master’s in Psychiatric Mental Health from Herzing University, she founded Focus on Mental Health to create the kind of care environment that truly supports healing: one that’s slow, thoughtful, and deeply personal.
Her goal has always been the same—help people feel heard, safe, and empowered in their mental health journey.
What people feel when they work with us
People often tell us they feel truly listened to for the first time. We're here to support you with care that moves at your pace and makes you feel safe.
Care that centers around your story, not just your symptoms
You’re more than a diagnosis. Your experience, emotions, and goals guide the path we take together.
Time to talk—without being rushed or interrupted
Sessions are paced to allow space for reflection, questions, and real conversation.
A Specialist who truly listens—and shows up when it counts
Theresa is committed to being present, accessible, and responsive when you need it most.
“Theresa took the time to really listen. I felt supported, not rushed. After years of feeling stuck, I finally feel like I have a plan that makes sense for me.”
