Rain Tree Mental Health Patient-Guided Care
At Rain Tree Mental Health, we want you to feel comfortable, heard, and welcome. This is a space where you can bring your questions, worries, and goals without judgment. We believe you are the expert on your own life, and our role is to come alongside you with clinical knowledge, support, and options, not to tell you what to do.
Together, we build a plan that fits who you are and what matters most to you. We focus on partnership, clear communication, and shared decision making so you can feel confident taking the lead in your mental health care. As you move through your own recovery journey, we pay attention to the small wins as well as the big ones, and our goal is to help you create steady, lasting change in your life.
I give people the tools that they need to:
Understand their mental health and diagnoses
so they know what the words on their chart actually mean and how they relate to what they feel day to day.
Track symptoms and side effects over time
using simple check-ins, rating scales, and real-life goals to see what is changing and whether a plan is truly working.
Make informed choices about medication options
by talking through benefits, risks, side effects, and alternatives in clear language so they can decide what feels right for them.
Coordinate care with therapists and other providers
so everyone involved is on the same page and working toward the same goals.
