Who We Help & How We Personalize Care

Helping You Navigate ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, and Life’s Challenges — Together

💬 “Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results — that’s not care. That’s cruelty.”

At Alis Family Psych, care should evolve with you — not stay stuck in routines that don’t work.
Dr. Tina Matthews-Hayes, DNP, CRNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP, brings a deeply personalized approach to every session, using advanced tools and heartfelt connection to guide your treatment.

We use tools like:

  • GeneSight® — pharmacogenetic testing to understand how your body may respond to different medications

  • Creyos® — cognitive testing to better understand your mental functioning, attention, memory, and processing

Because treatment shouldn't be trial-and-error.
It should be tailored — and centered around you.

Conditions We Commonly Treat

  • Anxiety & Depression
    Rediscover your calm, energy, and sense of self. Whether you need talk, tools, or medication, we help you breathe again and feel more in control — without judgment.

  • ADHD & Learning Issues
    Learn strategies to manage focus, motivation, and executive functioning — with medication support when needed. Tools like Creyos® and GeneSight® help us personalize treatment to your brain and body.

  • Trauma & PTSD
    We offer gentle, trauma-informed care to help you feel safe in your body and rebuild trust in yourself — at your own pace. For some, that includes medication as one of many tools to support healing. Always your choice. Always approached with care.

  • Schizophrenia
    One of the most common conditions Tina treats — using a proactive, medication-responsive approach that prioritizes dignity, safety, and long-term stability.

  • Diagnostics & Treatment Planning
    We use tools like Creyos® cognitive testing and GeneSight® pharmacogenetic testing to take the guesswork out of care — and tailor medication and treatment to your unique biology.

  • Gender-Affirming Mental Health Care
    We provide safe, affirming care for LGBTQIA+ clients navigating depression, identity stress, or the lasting impact of discrimination. When needed, we offer medication support — always approached with care, and in a space that honors who you are.

🩺 If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
We’re here to help you find what works.
