In 1987, I created an improved system of behavioral health management based on my 23 years of clinical experience as a psychologist and neuropsychologist with a variety of patients. From this experience, I concluded that the point of entry to care is the most important part of the treatment process.

PMHM has taken traditional mental health management and added something not found in the industry as a whole - a second opinion and an advanced diagnostic expertise in every case. At PMHM, doctorate level psychologists conduct all front-line review, assessment, referral and case management activities.

I believed in 1987 that effective behavioral care, if done right, would cost less than poor care and 19 years of experience has proven the truth of this assumption. PMHM's unique system of Professionally Guided Care is the best way to save benefit plans money and improve patient care.
