Our Story
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners Brittany Snow and Sharon Ford started Mindful Matters, LLC, to have a more direct and personalized impact on patient care.
The communities we serve are resilient, vibrant, and full of unique stories.
OUR VISION
We imagine a world where people have better access to health care, and where mental health stigma and barriers to health are eliminated. With Mindful Matters, we aim to create a safe, culturally sensitive space to seek treatment for people of all walks of life.
Our care team meets with you in the privacy of your own home. In this space, no subject is off limits or taboo. We create treatment plans based on your unique needs. We collaborate with you on how you would like your treatment to look.
Here, you are not just a patient. You are a valued part of the community, and you are worthy of compassionate care.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to provide comprehensive psychiatric care to promote whole health. We are dedicated to delivering personalized, evidence-based treatment that addresses immediate needs of our clients, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment.
At Mindful Matters, it is important to us to encourage open dialogue about mental health, empowering individuals and communities through education and resources that cultivate mindfulness and resilience and collaborating with community partners to enhance access to mental health services.
We hold our mental health services to a high, values-based standard. We believe that effective services promote awareness and advocating for holistic approaches that recognize the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, and physical health.
