If you believe your mental health deserves more than just a prescription, you’re in the right place.
Hi, I’m Tarah Mathews, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Chief Executive Officer, and Owner of The Oaks Behavioral Health. I believe there is so much more to mental health treatment than writing a prescription — our bodies, minds, and spirits are all interconnected, and true wellness means addressing all of them together.
With over 20 years in psychiatric-mental health nursing and 15+ years as a Nurse Practitioner across inpatient, crisis stabilization, community mental health, and private practice settings, I’ve built The Oaks around a simple belief: you deserve to be treated as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. That’s why we offer in-office pharmacogenetic testing, which helps identify which psychiatric medications may work best for your unique genetic profile — taking some of the guesswork out of your care — alongside guidance on the dietary and lifestyle changes that can support your results. With a holistic approach tailored specifically to you, recovery is not only possible, it’s expected.
I’m not currently accepting new patients, but I work closely alongside our team of Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners to make sure every person who walks through our doors gets this same standard of care. Reach out — you deserve to feel like your best self.
