About Us

Compassionate. Collaborative. Comprehensive.

In 2023, after practicing clinical psychology for three decades, Dr. Melissa K. Hunt founded the Center for Psychological Health with a vision: to create a compassionate mental health co-op where, in a single location, a family could find the highest-quality care for each of its members, and an individual could seek healing for all aspects of self. While our multidisciplinary staff has a wide range of expertise, we are a small business at heart and in practice! The Center prides itself on its warm community atmosphere.

Our Promise

We strive to provide care that is Compassionate, Collaborative, and Comprehensive.

Compassionate. Whether one is completing a psychological assessment, trying their hand at creative writing, or entering an addiction recovery group, we treat each person with compassion.

Collaborative. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to healing. That’s why we collaborate with each client to create an individualized treatment plan for their unique needs.

Comprehensive. Our multidisciplinary team is committed to providing comprehensive, holistic treatment. By providing services for the mind, body, and spirit, and for the child, couple, and family, we treat the whole person, and the whole family.
