Your Personal Support System
Since 1997, Mental Health Solutions has focused on the client, providing individualized care and treatment based on specific needs and guiding each person to his or her best self. Unlike large hospitals and institutions, we are personally invested in developing relationships with our clients. Formerly known as Neurobehavioral Health Connections (NHC), Mental Health Solutions (MHS) changed its name in 2009 with a change of leadership. MHS continues to be a multidisciplinary private group practice including psychiatrists, neuro- and clinical psychologists, addiction counselors and marriage and family therapists. We serve individuals and families with a wide range of services in our outpatient offices as well as in nursing homes and assisted living facilities throughout the northern Illinois. We treat children, adolescents, adults, seniors and families.
History
Established in 2009.
Mental Health Solutions was formed when new ownership and direction took lead of Neurobehavioral Health Connections. We are a private mental health care practice aiming to meet the whole family’s mental health care needs under one roof. We have grown every year, providing individual, couple, and family therapy, as well as psychological testing for all ages. We partner with the Illinois Pain Institute and several nursing and assisted living facilities to perform psychological and neuropsychological testing.
Meet the Business Owner: Bright F.
I took over ownership of this practice as a wide eyed and inexperienced 30 year old. Now, 10 years later, I have gained in experience, wisdom, willingness and ability to transform MHS into a tight knit team of providers and support staff to more successfully guide our clients toward living healthier and more fulfilling lives.
Prior to my work with MHS, I grew up in Minneapolis, MN, and went to graduate school at The Minnesota School of Professional Psychology. I moved to Illinois for my internship, working at South Campus Therapeutic Day School in Palatine, where I stayed on as a Post-Doctoral Fellow and Licensed Clinical Psychologist, eventually becoming the Diagnostic Program Coordinator. I still remember what I genuinely said in my graduate school interview, “If I can just help one person to live a better life, it will all be worth it.” This motto I still hold true, and I believe I have lived with this in mind, and continue to do so.
