For over 30 years, High Desert Psychological Services has stood at the forefront of mental health care, driven by a vision to reshape the future of private practice. From the very beginning, our purpose has been clear: to remove the barriers that often hinder independent providers, allowing them to focus on what matters most—healing lives.
Every practice that joins our mental health network is part of a larger story, a movement dedicated to expanding access to compassionate, high-quality mental health care. With our deep expertise and innovative solutions, we empower private practice owners by handling the complexities of business management. From insurance credentialing to administrative support, we eliminate the guesswork so you can dedicate yourself fully to your patients.
Our network is built on a shared mission, an ever-growing community of like-minded clinicians who believe in the power of quality care. Together, we are broadening the reach of mental health services, ensuring that no one is left behind. High Desert isn’t just a company, it’s a legacy of purpose-driven growth, and our journey is far from over.
In a world that often overlooks those in need, we have committed ourselves to making sure care is accessible, impactful, and transformative. Our mission is simple but bold: To develop the best mental health network in Southern California and beyond! One provider and one patient at a time.
For many, the structure of agency work offers security, consistent paychecks, health benefits, and a fixed routine. While these elements provide stability, they can also limit personal freedom, earning potential, and the ability to shape your own practice. In these environments, your work is often guided by external expectations, with little room to innovate or make decisions independently.
At High Desert Psychological Services, we embrace a different approach. The idea of “financial and professional freedom” means taking ownership of your career, stepping into a role where you set the course, make meaningful decisions, and have the freedom to build a practice that reflects your values. It’s about aligning your work with a mission that emphasizes compassionate care, long-term growth, and creating lasting change in the lives of those you serve.
This mindset is for those who seek not just professional autonomy, but the opportunity to grow something bigger, a practice built around the belief that mental health care should be flexible, accessible, and driven by a genuine passion to improve lives. At High Desert, we’re dedicated to fostering an environment where professionals can flourish and make a profound impact, one person at a time.
Early in my career, I realized that healing extends far beyond clinical knowledge. It requires compassion, understanding, and the ability to truly see people, not just their circumstances, but their potential. My journey began with a deep desire to help those who are often overlooked, the vulnerable populations that society sometimes forgets. Over time, this calling grew into a mission that now drives me as the CEO and founder of High Desert Psychological Services.
One pivotal experience occurred during my work with children in the foster care system. I was called to assess the home of an 8-year-old boy who had experienced severe neglect. His living conditions were heartbreaking, dirty, unsafe, and devoid of anything resembling comfort or care. He avoided eye contact and spoke in whispers, clearly accustomed to being unseen and unheard. I’ll never forget the look in his eyes when we first spoke; it was a mix of fear and resignation, as though he had already learned that the world would fail him.
Over the following weeks, I worked with him in a residential setting, helping him process his trauma and build emotional tools to cope with his circumstances. It wasn’t easy, progress came in small cautious steps, but I witnessed the power of creating a safe, supportive space where he felt heard and valued. That experience reinforced for me the critical need for mental health care that doesn’t just address immediate crises but fosters resilience and long-term healing.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting many individuals facing life-altering challenges. These interactions have taught me that mental health care must affirm each person’s dignity and worth, while equipping them with the skills to navigate life’s complexities. They’ve also shaped my vision for High Desert Psychological Services: to create a system of care that offers not just treatment but hope, empowerment, and sustainable well-being.
The foundation of this vision lies in those early experiences, working with children like that 8-year-old boy and witnessing how skilled, compassionate care can change lives. It’s a mission that continues to inspire and guide me every day to ensure that no one is left to face their struggles alone.
Through every interaction, every individual, and every family we’ve had the honor to support, one truth has become undeniable: access to quality mental health care is not a luxury, it is a necessity. This fundamental understanding became the driving force behind the founding of High Desert Psychological Services. Today, as we serve over 100,000 individuals across Southern California, Our Mission remains clear, “To provide the best quality mental health services to those in need.”
Our Vision is equally bold: “To develop the best mental health network in Southern California and beyond.” We are committed to expanding access, offering compassionate, research-based care that truly makes a difference in the lives of those we serve. Whether through cutting-edge practices or deep community connections, we strive to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to receive the care they need, when they need it.
We are committed to an environment where therapists and doctors can thrive, where compassion is not just encouraged, it is the core of what we do. Our team is our family, and together, we create a space where healing happens, where lives are changed, and where every individual is seen, heard, and valued.
This is not just a job for me; it’s my life’s work. And whether you’re a professional seeking a place where your passion can flourish, or someone in need of care, you will find at High Desert a community dedicated to making a lasting, positive impact on the world, one person at a time.
