💜 Care Without Barriers!
I know the first question will be, “Why doesn’t Balanced Mental Health & Wellness accept insurance for these services?”
Here’s why:

Children and adolescents living in Level 5 foster homes have already faced enough barriers. Access to quality psychiatric care should not be another one because of insurance restrictions.

Insurance limitations, reimbursement delays, and administrative requirements can interfere with providing timely, individualized care.

While psychiatric services are private-pay, prescribed medications are still be covered through the child's insurance plan, depending on

My goal is simple: Less red tape, more personalized care, and better outcomes for the children we serve. 💜

💜 BALANCED IS CHANGING! AGAIN 💜

One thing about me is I'm not afraid to PIVOT! I'm not afraid to switch things up, make changes, or move in a new direction.
My grandson who as autism spectrum disorder has changed my life in so many ways. He has opened my eyes, shifted my perspective, and inspired a new purpose in me.

Moving forward, my practice will focus on psychiatric care for children and adolescents ages 8–17, offering services through telehealth and home visits.

New chapter. Same passion. Renewed purpose.💜💜Helping Young Minds Find Their Balance.

Today is the last day of Autism Awareness Month 💙

I started this book a year ago, inspired by my grandson Tahir, and my bonus granddaughter Coco, and real-life experiences.

Watching Tahir try to connect with Coco and other children is both beautiful and, at times, heartbreaking especially when he is misunderstood. Though nonverbal, he is full of personality, joy, and a desire to connect.

This book is about kindness, patience, and teaching our children to include and celebrate differences.

This story is inspired by real-life experiences with my grandson, Tahir, my bonus granddaughter Coco, and other children. At the time it was written, Tahir was just two and a half years old. It is both heartwarming and at times heartbreaking to watch him try to connect with other children. Sometimes...

My grandson is nonverbal, but he is never without a voice because I am his voice, his protector, and his advocate. I will always stand up for him, speak for him when needed, and make sure he is seen, heard, respected, and loved. 💙
