Patrick McDonald, CRNP-PMH
Co-Owner
Medical Director

Anthem Behavioral Health is a small practice that is many years of preparation and dreams come to life. The goal of Anthem was to create a flexible welcoming treatment opportunity for all individuals. I like to connect where people are and provide insight, humor and real conversation. I aim to provide client centered treatment that combines behavioral modification and (if needed) medication management. I work with several amazing therapists whom we collaborate with to create the best experience to assist the desired outcome of treatment.

​

I am a family certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 15 years experience in assisting both children and adults with treatment and management of symptoms of depression, anxiety, attention deficit, mood swings, psychosis, and behavioral problems. I work in collaboration with therapists with Anthem Behavioral Health.

​

I am excited to be able to meet and work with all people. I have an open mind and am able to meet people where they are and move forward. I strongly believe that we are a team and truly take an “us” approach.

Lisa Yost-Heick, LCSW-C
 

I am a Licensed Certified Clinical Social Worker with experience helping individuals cope with the symptoms of depression, anxiety, mood swings, mood disorders, psychosis, dementia, trauma, hoarding disorders, anticipatory grief, and bereavement. I provide client-centered treatments that combine behavioral and thought modifications with the use of evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), person centered therapy, and family systems therapy.

 

I strongly believe that every person should be treated with empathy and compassion in their counseling journey. My clinical approach is holistic, including assessing how each client’s behaviors, symptoms, and thought patterns are affected by their past exercise, their current support systems, and any current or recent stressors that may be causing distress in their lives. It is through this whole person approach that clients can achieve significant improvements in their mental health.

 

I am excited to meet and work with all individuals and I embrace diversity in my practice and daily life. I welcome the LGBTQ+ community, whom I have passionately served over many years. I strive to have a practice that is inclusive and supportive of people of all backgrounds because I believe every individual deserves exceptional treatment that is empathetic and respectful. Further, I encourage my clients to actively participate and guide their treatment.

Tewedaj "Molla", LMSW
 

I am a Licensed Masters Social Work professional with over 6 years of hands-on experience, deeply committed to empowering individuals, couples, families, and groups to reach their fullest potential. I strive to connect with my clients in meaningful and compassionate ways, whether in person or online, and I embrace the uniqueness of each person I work with across various settings and diverse populations.

​

My approach centers on fostering personal growth and enhancing overall well-being through evidence-based therapies, including Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also specialize in adoption-competent therapy, recognizing the specific challenges that come with it.

​

Having witnessed the profound impact of addressing critical issues like anxiety, depression, and trauma, I aim to provide a safe space where clients can explore their feelings and experiences. I wholeheartedly believe that everyone deserves quality mental health treatment. My goal is to empower my clients so that they acquire the skills they need to manage daily stressors and truly enjoy their lives, creating a journey of healing and hope together.
