About
Our Founder’s Perspective
“In the twelve years or so that I have been practicing psychiatry, I have come to understand common mental health challenges as problems of our mode of consciousness… I named the practice ‘Awaken’ because so many of my patients have described the experience of healing from their mental health struggles as ‘waking up,’ or becoming conscious in a new way. At Awaken Mental Health, we practice evidence-based psychiatric care with a commitment to understanding and developing the safest and most effective means of offering consciousness-altering treatment to aid you in improving your mental wellness.”
— Dr. McKenney, Founder
