About our founder
Like so many, the COVID pandemic completely turned my world upside down. Left without a job, I headed back to college, ultimately receiving a degree in website development and computer informations systems. The question was, how can I put a previously acquired psychology degree and a web development degree to use? The answer was West Michigan Mental Health.
The idea for West Michigan Mental Health came out of necessity. Originally diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder as a child, I was 33-years-old and in need of a new therapist and educational resources about intrusive thoughts. Four Google searches later and I was no closer to finding either. My only thought was that there had to be a better way. Today, I believe there is... West Michigan Mental Health.

Vision:
West Michigan Mental Health's vision is to create an easy-to-use website that provides West Michigan residents with the resources needed to treat mental illness.
