Hi, I’m Dr. Jodi, thanks so much for stopping by to learn more about Tides Wellness, Collaborative Mental Health!

I began my private practice journey in 2015 and I am thrilled and grateful for our growth over the past nine years. I have given much thought to what led to this thriving practice and have come to understand what truly sets our practice apart. 

A team of wonderful and authentic human beings who are great humans AND therapists. We know that therapeutic rapport is a major predictor of success in therapy and I am so proud of the relationships we create and maintain with our clients.  

1. We use treatments that work, treatments that are based on research and treatment modalities that are supportive of getting people feeling better more quickly. For some, talk therapy is what they are looking for and sufficient to meet treatment goals but for many others talk therapy can sometimes do more harm and maintain symptoms. This is where we need more specialized approaches to treatment. 
2. We continue to learn and grow through training, certifications, consultation, and anything else we can do to immerse in learning best practices. 

What is Collaborative Mental Health?

Collaboration is a huge part of how we practice and what we do at Tides Wellness. Collaboration is three pronged for us.

1. Collaborative working relationship with your therapist- A therapeutic relationship should be collaborative honoring the client being the authority on their lived experience and the therapist having skills and tools to support clients in making changes in their life. Both elements in addition to honesty and trust are crucial components of a good working relationship.
2. We place high value on collaboration with other treating professionals in order to support the whole person, create a team based approach, and engage in best practice. We have a solid network of trusting professionals throughout other related disciplines, value our working relationships with these individuals, and have seen collaboration be a game changer for treatment success.
3. Lastly, we are grateful to provide in-house support for a variety of needs and challenges which allows us to serve various members of the same family systems. This decreases the likelihood of getting different messages from various mental health providers throughout the community which can leave a family confused and frustrated. It also creates opportunities for our staff to work together to all be on the same page about what we are doing to support a family both individually and as a unit.
