Mindful Support Services
We’re Mindful Support Services, founded in 2011 with a mission to create access to mental health in our community. We serve a diverse group of mental health clinicians with tools to build their own successful businesses in a sustainable and mindful way. Services include lead generation and marketing; administrative and practice management support; billing and accounting. We are unique in that we put mental health providers in the driver’s seat, while providing a full service experience for them and the clients they serve. We believe that in order for clinicians to avoid burnout and provide the best treatment for their patients, they need high quality support, better reimbursement, and an environment they feel good in and about. We started this business because we believe there is a better way to provide mental health services to the community at large, and we will continue to add Mindful Therapy Group locations and build our virtual therapy program in the Pacific Northwest as long as there are providers looking to build something with us and clients are getting the help they need and deserve. We currently have locations in Washington and Oregon, and hope to bring our model to new markets in the future!
