The origins of Medens Health and how it has evolved.
At Medens Health, we’ve formed two main initiatives to combat problems that we witness every day in the local community. We invite you to direct your donation to them if you feel strongly about supporting these causes.
Out of all segments of the population, young people aged 11-17 are struggling the most with their mental health. Unfortunately, many children never get the care they need.60% of youth with major depression in the US did not receive any mental health treatment in 2017-2018.Even in states that were more proactive about getting mental health care to children, 38% of youth still did not receive any mental health services.
At Medens Health, we know we can do better. That’s why we launched a program to raise awareness of the problem and provide mental health services to adolescents from low income families in California and Nevada. Funds donated towards this program are used for psychological assessments and psychotherapy sessions for children. They also fund outreach and awareness campaigns to educate parents, teachers, and adults who work with youth on the seriousness and prevalence of mental health problems among adolescents.
Donate to this initiative1 in 5 Americans suffers from a mental health disorder. For those that seek treatment, the consequences of being misdiagnosed are dire. In mental health care, it is estimated that patients are misdiagnosed as much as 70% of the time.Without an accurate diagnosis, patients can invest years and money into a misguided treatment plan and take unneeded medications without feeling any better.
At Medens Health, we believe that everyone should have access to the hope, clarity, and progress that comes with an accurate diagnosis and an appropriate treatment plan. We offer over 60 different psychological assessments at our nonprofit mental health center to accurately diagnose mental, learning, and attention disorders. Our Low Cost Psychological Assessments & Treatment Program covers the cost of these assessments, as well as the resulting treatment from the diagnosis.
Donate to this initiativeThe most direct way to support our efforts is to donate. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, all donations to Medens Health are tax deductible.

As a kid, I was an avid reader; I loved observing how different characters grew and changed throughout a story to become the best version of themselves. When I grew up, I realized that I wanted to take a more active role in the story and help people grow into who they were meant to be. I believe that we heal through relationships, and one of the most unique relationships you can have in your life is with your therapist.
In a good story, it is when the main character is the most isolated that their challenges feel insurmountable. Their allies are gone, the world is against them, and they don’t know what to do next. Many of us feel like that sometimes in real life, too. If that’s the chapter you find yourself in, I want you to know that you don’t have to go it alone. I will be your ally as you discover your voice and step into your role as the hero. I aim to create a safe space where you can express your fears, uncover any negative patterns, and grow empowered to write your own story.

Doctors Nicole Anders and Mindia Gabichvadze met during their doctoral program and quickly recognized each other as kindred spirits in mental health care. In 2007, Dr. Gabichvadze identified a lack of access to quality mental health services and settings for clients who could not afford private practice fees. After sharing his idea with Dr. Anders, they both realized how similar their experiences and concerns were.
The problem, they decided, was that the clinics who do serve the underinsured or uninsured offer therapy and medication management for a limited time. They also have long waiting lists, making mental health care difficult to access for underserved populations.
Anders and Gabichvadze wanted to serve those populations by offering them open-ended care for as long as they needed it. They also believed that everyone deserved to receive care with dignity in an inviting setting - regardless of their financial situation.

At Medens Health, we believe that everyone should have access to the hope, clarity, and progress that comes with an accurate diagnosis and an appropriate treatment plan. We offer over 80 different psychological tests to identify your challenges, strengths, needs, and any existing mental health conditions.
For your first appointment, you’ll meet online with a doctor to discuss your concerns, evaluate the reason for referral and find out what you wish to learn from the evaluation.
A comprehensive clinical interview is conducted. We’ll meet again online to discuss your background information and collect your mental and physical health history.
We’ll meet in person - at least once - for testing. A testing appointment typically takes three hours. The type of evaluation will determine the duration of testing needed.
Two weeks later, we'll meet to review the results, go over treatment recommendations and answer any questions. After your appointment, you'll receive a copy of the report.
Open and honest communication is the only way to bridge the gulf between you and your partner. If things have been unpleasant for a while, however, that can feel impossible.
In couples therapy, you’ll work with a therapist who acts as a neutral third party to facilitate important discussions. Your therapist will provide active, solution-focused mediation to meet the needs of both parties. You can expect to receive useful tools and strategies to learn a new way of relating to your partner so you can experience positive change as quickly as possible.
We now offer QbTest, an evidence-based and FDA-cleared objective ADHD assessment that measures the three core symptoms of ADHD: attention/distractibility, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. QBTest presents a detailed and accurate picture of how your ADHD is manifesting in your unique case, allowing your mental health provider to tailor your care to your needs for the best possible outcome. It can also be used to measure the effectiveness of medication. You can learn more about QBTest here.
During couples therapy you will learn to:Together with your therapist, you and your partner will build healthy channels of communication so you can get on the same page… and back on the same team!
There is no “one size fits all” approach; you are a unique individual made up of all your experiences and your relationships with others. At Medens Health, we respect your individual process.
Together, you and your therapist will explore your challenges, get to the root of them, and make a plan to help you move forward. We provide tailored care for:
Our lives are divided into stages by major events. Moving, getting married or divorced, changing careers, going to college, becoming an “empty nester” - these transitions can be emotionally and mentally challenging, even when the change is a positive one.
Our relationships with others - and our ability to form and maintain those relationships - have a major impact on our mental well-being.
Your experience with stress is unique, and the situations that cause you stress may be different than those that your friends seem to deal with effortlessly.
Depression can feel like a physical weight bearing you down and negatively impacting all areas of your life.
Most sessions are one hour which includes 53 minutes of therapy time and 7 minutes of documentation that the provider will complete after your appointment is finished.
Therapy is a collaborative effort between you and your provider. You will come up with goals to help you move through some of the difficulties you are experiencing.Therapy is not like a regular conversation, and sometimes that might take a little getting used to. For example, your therapist may not simply agree with you like a friend would. Their job is to help you understand yourself more and come to a place of accepting yourself and making any necessary changes.
You may find that the therapeutic process brings up some uncomfortable feelings, but your therapist is there in a supportive capacity to help you process those feelings. Many come out of a therapy session with a lot on their mind and often feel they need a little while to think over the things discussed. This is completely normal!
