Your first appointment is a confidential, one-on-one conversation with Erwin Baird, MSN, PMHNP-BC, where we begin to understand your story—not just your symptoms. There’s no pressure to say everything at once. You can share as much or as little as you’re comfortable with. We move at your pace.

A confidential, welcoming space—what we discuss stays between us.
A guided conversation to explore what brought you in and how we can help.
An optional screening for mood, anxiety, focus, or trauma-related concerns.
A look at the whole picture: physical health, sleep, energy, stress, and goals.
Collaborative planning—whether you prefer therapy, medication, supplements, or lifestyle support, we tailor care with you, not for you
We believe healing starts with feeling seen, safe, and heard. This is your space. We’ll meet you wherever you are.

Our Approach
“The Puzzle Table”
Method
Think of your experience like putting together a puzzle. You bring in a few pieces—your history, your struggles, your hopes—and together, we gently start assembling the picture. Each visit adds clarity. Each piece is honored. There’s no rush. Just trust, safety, and real support
