The clinic provides psychiatric outpatient care for patients from age 5 to 75, treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, trauma-related conditions, eating disorders, insomnia, post-natal depression, treatment-resistant depression, and substance abuse after-care following residential treatment.

The practice is led by co-founders Elizabeth Blanchard Hills, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who serves as Clinical Director, and Shane A. Hills, who serves as President. Together they have grown the practice from one provider to ten over four years. The clinical team includes Dr. Andrew Kerstein, a board-certified psychiatrist with more than 16 years of experience who works with patients of all ages and especially enjoys treating children; Louisa Kostrzewski, who holds a doctorate in Psychiatric-Mental Health from Johns Hopkins University; Christina Layton, dually credentialed as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner; Blessing Oparaji, a University of Missouri Kansas City nursing graduate; Dr. Subbu J Sarma; Rachel Sutton, who spent 13 years in intensive care, neurosurgery, and gastroenterology nursing; and Sarah Unger. Providers hold leadership roles in professional organizations, contribute to journals, host webinars, and present at conferences.

The practice describes itself as nurses first, working from a holistic nursing philosophy that treats mental health as a personal journey shaped by mind, body, and lived experience rather than a set of symptoms. Patients are served alongside an advocate when they choose, such as a parent, spouse, or adult child, and treatment plans and medications are explained in full. The clinic sees new patients within two to four weeks of a 15-minute onboarding consultation, and telehealth appointments can be scheduled outside normal business hours at the practitioner's discretion. It also accepts referrals from primary care practices, other medical practices, and behavioral health professionals, and follows up with referring providers about treatment plans and progress.

The practice has built a solid reputation across a large base of customer reviews, reflecting the 133 ratings behind its 4.50 score.
