About Our Practice

A More Thoughtful Approach to Mental Health

At Awaken Mental Health, we believe healing is about more than symptom management. It is about helping people reconnect with themselves in a way that feels grounded, supported, and genuinely transformative.

Our practice brings together evidence-based psychiatric care, innovative treatment options, and a deeply human approach to healing. Whether someone is seeking talk therapy, psychiatric support, or ketamine assisted care, our goal is to offer treatment that is compassionate, personalized, and open to meaningful change.

In the twelve years or so that I have been practicing psychiatry, I have come to understand common mental health challenges as problems of our mode of consciousness. I named the practice Awaken because so many of my patients have described healing as waking up, or becoming conscious in a new way.
— Dr. Dylan McKenney, Founder

Who We Are

Awaken Mental Health is dedicated to advancing mental health care through clinically grounded treatment, compassionate support, and access to novel therapies.

We believe people deserve more than a one-size-fits-all model of care. That is why we integrate clinical excellence with thoughtful innovation, creating treatment pathways that are both evidence-based and deeply personalized. Whether someone is seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, our goal is to meet them with clarity, safety, and respect.

What Makes Awaken Different

Grounded in Clinical Excellence
Our care is rooted in evidence-based psychiatric practice and delivered with attention, depth, and empathy. We believe trust begins with safety, experience, and thoughtful clinical care.

Open to New Possibilities
We integrate cutting-edge treatments like ketamine-assisted psychotherapy as part of a broader model of healing. Innovation is not about novelty—it is about expanding what is possible for people who need more effective options.

Focused on Transformation
We do not see healing as symptom management alone. We see it as the possibility of real change—a shift in perspective, a deeper sense of connection, and a more conscious, empowered way of living.

Our Approach to Care

Mental health is deeply personal, and the right starting point looks different for each person. Some people come to Awaken seeking grounded therapeutic support and psychiatric care, while others are exploring advanced options such as ketamine assisted treatment after feeling limited by more traditional approaches.

Our role is not to push people into one path, but to help them understand their options and move toward care that feels appropriate, safe, and aligned with their needs. We believe care should feel both clinically sound and emotionally supportive—never rushed, overwhelming, or impersonal.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide exceptional clinical care, prepare ourselves as clinicians for the future of mental health treatment, and help shape more effective ways of delivering care as new therapies continue to emerge.

Awaken is more than a clinic—we are part of a movement toward mental health care that is more compassionate, more innovative, and more responsive to the full complexity of healing.
