Ways to Improve Mental Health: Some Tips that Mental Health Providers Use Themselves

-Name 2 things at the end of each day that went well

-Listen to music

-Go outside each day, even if for a short period; sunny, rainy, snowy, it doesn’t matter. Just go outside for a bit each day

-Practice brisk morning wakening. This means getting out of bed within 90 seconds of waking up each day

-Conduct a social media fast- set a goal for yourself, and see how long you can go

-Order tacos

-Do one thing for someone else each day. Appreciate the joy that paying-it-forward brings

-Do something you loved when you were little; blow some bubbles, play hopscotch, draw funny stick people

-Take a mini road trip

"Over every mountain,

there is a path,

although it may not be seen from the valley.”

– Theodore Roethke

Many people suffer with psychiatric disorders that cause significant distress or impairment of personal functioning. In these trying and unprecedented times, mental wellness is of the upmost importance. At Solace, we are here to help and guide you with compassionate care provided by board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners.

We offer psychiatric medication management with integrated therapy. Our Nurse Practitioners work with children, adolescents, and adults in Maryland.

We Promote Accessibility and Autonomy through

Internet-Based Technology

We believe that there are two key elements that improve access to treatment in the outpatient mental health setting, accessibility and autonomy.

Our providers are accessible, and offer various avenues for patient-provider communication. Unless in session, our providers are available for administrative and straightforward clinical matters by phone, email, and messaging within the secure online patient portal (during business hours). We have streamlined and simplified new patient procedures, as most documents and forms are paperless, internet-based, and housed in a HIPAA compliant electronic medical records system.

We endorse autonomy and flexibility. Patient forms are completed and submitted from the comfort of home, at a convenient time. Our patients have the ability to manage appointment scheduling through the secure patient portal.
