Our History
Milder Touch Mental Health & Wellness LLC was founded in the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic—an era that exposed deep gaps in mental health access, support, and continuity of care. Born out of a desire to meet the rising emotional and psychological needs of individuals, families, and communities, Milder Touch emerged as a beacon of hope, healing, and restoration during uncertain times.
From the beginning, our vision has been clear: to deliver evidence-based, holistic care that honors the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. We recognize that mental health is not one-size-fits-all and that true healing begins with compassion, clinical excellence, and culturally sensitive support.
Operating as an outpatient mental health clinic, Milder Touch offers both in-person and telepsychiatry services, ensuring flexible, accessible care for clients across diverse backgrounds and needs. Whether facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or more complex psychiatric conditions, our clients receive personalized treatment rooted in science, empathy, and empowerment.
What started as a response to the crisis has grown into a trusted mental health practice—committed to fostering Touch, Trust, and Tranquility in every interaction and redefining what it means to care truly.
What Makes Milder Touch Different?
At Milder Touch Mental Health & Wellness LLC, we go beyond traditional mental health care by delivering personalized, culturally competent, and compassion-first psychiatry—rooted in our signature values of Touch, Trust, and Tranquility.
