Male

I am a Vietnam-era veteran who worked as a Medical Specialist, protecting our Nation's heroes suffering from Medical and Mental Health problems. After the Service, I embarked on a 31-year history of working with individuals in our communities with Serious Mental Health problems and Psychoactive Substance addictions. During my occupational transitions, I was employed at Grady Memorial Hospital (12 years), Fulton County MH (12 years), and the Dekalb Community Service Board for 23 years. I was also an Adjunct Instructor at Ashford University and A Mental Health Clinician at Laurel Heights Hospital. I have achieved a master’s in social work, a Master's in Guidance and Counseling, and All but a Dissertation towards a Ph.D. in Academic Psychology. As a Mental Health Associate at Grady Hospital, I wrote the format for the Community meetings, led the Mileu program for several years, and served as a member in Schizophrenic research. In Fulton County, I created and led the Dual Diagnosis program during its(the diagnosis) national infancy in 1989. Fulton County also awarded me an Exceptional Service Award for my efforts to save the lives of others. I carried on the history of work with individuals with co-occurring disorders to Dekalb County, coordinated the group process clinical efforts, and received an NAACP nomination for community service after engaging the community to learn about co-occurring disorders in our communities. In 2016, I was privileged to be allowed to attend the David Satcher Leadership Program at Morehouse School of Medicine. I have received several verbal and written recommendations of the merit of my work with individuals with psychiatric problems. Although the potential to contribute to the health and safety of any individual's life is priceless, I often remember an individual who worked hard on recovery and was recognized by the Governor's wife at that time for outstanding achievement. The individual's painting was housed in a State Government building. My theoretical delivery is individually focused, and interventions are eclectic to ensure that the agent of change uniquely fits that individual seeking positive change.

How do we select providers listed on PsychHub.com?

The care options presented consist of treatment providers that we have assessed to be quality providers across a range of services for mental health, substance use, relationships, and other well-being needs. We aim to include only high quality providers and multiple viable options for those seeking care.

What is the relationship between Psych Hub and these providers?

The providers listed on our site are all independent entities from Psych Hub. We only list providers where we have a contractual relationship with a network, group, or practice that a provider is a part of, or where we have a direct contractual relationship with the provider. That contract governs the terms of participation on the Psych Hub site, and in some cases, as mentioned below, the provider’s, group’s, or network’s use of Psych Hub's educational content. There is no other affiliation between Psych Hub and the providers listed on our site.

Do participating providers pay us?

To make our site free for consumers, Psych Hub receives fees from provider groups, networks, or individual providers to connect with potential clients who are a fit for their services. Some also purchase Psych Hub's educational content for practitioner training and client support. These fees enable us to operate our service, including screening and updating information on each provider.

How do we determine which ones to display?

Rather than make specific provider recommendations, we present options and information so you can make an informed decision on what provider best fits your needs. Where we have multiple participating providers, we present multiple options (and where we don't, we prioritize adding more options to our site over time). We present providers whose capabilities, insurance coverage, availability and other attributes best match your stated needs. If many providers appear to equally meet your needs, we display a selection of them at random. Our decision on which participating providers to display is never impacted by the amount of fees we receive from them.

What causes us to remove providers from our site?

We require that providers meet all licensing requirements of states where they offer services. If a provider loses their license, they are removed from our site for that state or service. We also seek feedback from users on providers they find on our site. We investigate significant negative feedback and remove providers if we conclude that to be appropriate.
