Find your balance.
Reclaim your power.
Are you ready to feel more grounded, connected, and in control of your life? At Better Life Psychiatry, we help teens and young adults move from surviving to thriving. Whether you’re feeling trapped in painful cycles, struggling with intense emotions, or trying to make sense of a diagnosis that doesn’t feel like the full story — you don’t have to face it alone.
We specialize in compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for people navigating bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma, and recovery from abusive relationships. Together, we’ll work to understand your experiences, stabilize your mood, and rebuild trust — both in yourself and the world around you.
Led by Mercedes Stepp, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Navy veteran, our care is collaborative and personalized. We offer comprehensive evaluations, medication management, and trauma-informed therapies such as Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) — designed to help your brain heal and move your life forward.
At Better Life Psychiatry, healing starts with being heard. We believe transformation happens when you feel safe, respected, and empowered to take an active role in your own recovery.
Finding the right mental health provider can feel overwhelming — especially when life already feels hard. That’s why we offer free consultations, so you can meet us, ask questions, and see if we’re the right fit for you.
You are not broken. You are not alone. There is a way forward — and we’re here to help you build your better life.
