The Oaks Behavioral Health is made up of a group of mental health professionals who are passionate about what we do. Our experienced team includes multiple mental health specialists of various disciplines who work together as a team.
This allows us to meet most mental health needs under one roof to help you feel better quickly.
Our mission is caring for people, promoting belief in the capacity for change, and instilling hope into individuals, families, and our communities. Caring is at the heart of everything we do.
We strive to create a relaxed, down to earth experience, where you leave feeling cared for, supported, and understood. You won’t find any white coats or sterile clinic rooms here. Instead, you’ll find comfortable seating, a warm, inviting atmosphere, and caring professionals to help guide you on your journey to wellness.
The Oaks Behavioral Health was founded in 2019 by Tarah Mathews, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Tarah had worked in various mental health settings including inpatient facilities, crisis stabilization, community mental health, and private practice. She saw certain benefits to all these settings, but had a vision for a different kind of practice. One that offered comprehensive services and a treatment team approach like a larger agency, while still providing a more personalized client experience like that of a private practice. One where clinicians were given the autonomy to “think outside the box” when it benefited clients. One where both clients and clinicians truly felt cared for and understood.
Due to the shortage of mental health services in our community, she wanted to create a practice where most client needs including counseling, medication management, case management, peer support services, and intensive group therapy could all be provided by one practice. One where client care coordination could help guide clients through their journey to wellness by matching them with needed services to achieve their goals. One where clients could pick up the phone to book an appointment and know that an entire team was waiting on the other side to support them.
The Oaks has grown to over 20 amazing clinicians and support staff members who share our vision, and each member of our team plays an important role in our ability to provide the quality of services that we strive to deliver. The number of healing clients we serve continues to grow daily. We thank all of our clients who have entrusted us with their care and we look forward to assisting you on your own journey toward mental wellness and achieving your dreams!
