About Us

Provenance Psychiatry

At Provenance Psychiatric Services, we recognize the growing importance of mental health in our everyday lives. Our society is increasingly acknowledging the significance of mental well-being, and this shift is a crucial step in de-stigmatizing mental health issues. Our practice is dedicated to advancing this evolution in perspective and care. We're continuously looking for new ways to help people with mental health problems. We don't just want to treat the symptoms, we want to understand each person's unique story. We believe that reaching a state of 'provenance'—a point of understanding the origins and narrative of one's mental health journey—is the stepping stone to recovery. Once this state of provenance is achieved, recovery can begin, informed by a deeper understanding and acceptance of one's experiences and identity. We're here to help you on your journey, offering a safe and kind space to understand and work through your experiences. We believe in your ability to get better and we'll support you each step of the way.
