OUR MISSION
Make better mental
health care more
How do we achieve our mission?

1. By putting patients first
Every decision our providers make begins and ends with you in mind. This ensures your care plan is tailored precisely to your unique needs.

2. By providing exceptional care
Insurance can often be a barrier to receiving premium quality mental health care. That’s why we decided not to accept it – allowing everyone to get the care they need.

3. By leveraging data & technology
We use the latest tools to track your progress throughout the process – making adjustments where necessary to optimize your care.

OUR PURPOSE
Setting a new standard in mental health
Our logo’s platinum cylinder symbolizes the International Prototype of the Kilogram (IPK), once the global standard of measurement. Just as the IPK set the benchmark for precision, Platinum Psychiatry sets a higher standard for mental health care.
We prioritize personalized, effective treatment—free from insurance constraints—ensuring every aspect of our practice is designed with you in mind. In a field often plagued by confusion and stigma, we offer a new, patient-centered approach that redefines what mental health care should be.
