Welcome

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 how much we have grown since. 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, authentic people who are great humans AND great 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.

We use treatments that work: treatments that are based on research and help people feel better more quickly. For some, talk therapy is what they are looking for and is enough to meet their treatment goals, but for many others talk therapy alone can keep symptoms going. This is where more specialized approaches to treatment come in.
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.

Collaborative working relationship with your therapist — A therapeutic relationship should be collaborative, honoring the client as the authority on their lived experience and the therapist as having the skills and tools to support them in making changes in their life. Both, along with honesty and trust, are crucial parts of a good working relationship.

We place high value on collaboration with other treating professionals in order to support the whole person, create a team-based approach, and follow best practices. We have a solid network of trusted professionals in related disciplines, value our working relationships with them, and have seen collaboration be a game changer for treatment success.

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.
