The Heart and Soul-Our Providers

Some join us brand new or even sooner as students or under clinical supervision. OUR MISSION REQUIRES GOOD PEOPLE THAT CARE. In turn, that is who we are.

Our Administrative Staff make it happen!

Our office is fast paced and requires an energetic positive attitude every single day. Our philosophy is to work hard, play hard and reward immensely. At times, our owner and other providers will roll up their sleeves and help with the daily tasks that a busy mental health practice can provide. We don't see people on different levels at Lexington Counseling and Psychiatry, everyone is treated the same regardless of their education or role. Our workplace was invented to let everyone contribute and everyone to reap the rewards of how hard we all work.

Mentally and Physically Healthy Workforce

" I believe that our staff and the people that take care of our clients should be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. I think a spiritual component to life can only improve their ability to connect and form long lasting relationships with coworkers, our providers, and our administrative staff. We enjoy developing relationships within the community including doing volunteer work for nonprofit organizations and taking on projects and contracts that help local organizations benefit from our mental health and substance abuse expertise. Over the years we have partnered with many of Central Kentucky's finest organizations. We are proud to be a part of many of those still today. We do not overwork our employees or our contracted providers. Our hope is they can have normal healthy lives so they, in turn, can help the people of Central Kentucky!"
