    About us

    Care that starts by listening

    Cognosis Health exists because too many people meet a mental health system that treats them like a chart. We were founded by clinicians who wanted the opposite: board-certified psychiatric care with the patience to understand each person’s situation before treating it.

    That founding instinct shaped everything since — a team that spans psychiatry, sleep medicine, and therapy; a special commitment to veterans and first responders; and a simple operating rule: treatment is tailored to the individual, which requires both empathy and expertise.

    Helping those who help others

    Firefighters, police officers, EMTs, paramedics, service members. The work asks everything — long hours, impossible decisions, scenes that don’t fade when the shift ends. We built a program specifically for the people who carry that load.

    Clinicians who’ve worn the uniformOur program includes providers with military service and VA clinical experience treating PTSD.

    Every therapist, trained for this workAll of our therapists are accredited in supporting the mental load of public service.

    Culture-fluent, stigma-freeAsking for help is a sign of strength. We’ve seen it prove out, case after case.

    About the program

    How it works

    Three steps, no guesswork

    1

    Tell us what’s going on

    Your initial consultation is a real conversation, not a checklist: current symptoms, sleep and eating patterns, history, and what you want to change.

    2

    Get a plan built for you

    A board-certified clinician designs your course of treatment — therapy, medication when medically appropriate, or both.

    3

    Care that stays coordinated

    Your therapist and medical providers work hand in hand and adjust the plan as you progress.
