Azira Mental Health Combats the Mental Health Crisis by Expanding Nationally

A Michigan mental health company has made the decision to expand nationally through a franchise model. Azira Mental Health, LLC (formerly Midwest Wellness, LLC) was started by Dr. Cullen Hardy and Robin Harvell in 2018 and has since grown to 5 locations throughout Indiana and Michigan.

“As we watched the nation’s mental health crisis worsen in 2020 during the pandemic, things have not gotten better. Reports of mental illnesses are up, waiting times to get into a mental health clinic for treatment are at all-time highs, and access to quality, professional, innovative, and effective care just isn’t there,” says Dr. Cullen Hardy, co-founder of Azira Mental Health. “We’re excited to be able to take our unique and proven systems to the national stage so we can help fill the massive unmet mental health need in this country.”

Azira Mental Health, LLC has become a leader in the mental health industry, and they have done it by changing the culture surrounding mental health treatment and service delivery. By developing innovative systems and policies that put the client first and treat the client individually with modern, creative, evidence-based therapeutic techniques, they have quickly expanded and are not slowing down.

“Robin and I quickly realized that the need for the highest quality mental health services has never been greater and the holes that exist in the mental health industry CAN be filled. We’re filling these holes and are honored that we can align with our franchisees to create Azira clinics across the country…creating a wonderful place of healing for our clients and a fulfilling, rewarding, and amazing place to work for our team members.”

Hardy and Harvell also emphasize the therapeutic environment. “A mental health clinic should not be a place that feels sterile and cold. We have put great effort into creating a warm, cozy, relaxing atmosphere that fosters positive healing and this is felt in all our Azira clinics,” co-founder Robin Harvell says. “This is for our clients but also for our team of clinicians. It feels so good to see the reception we get from our team members who constantly comment how much they love being a part of our group.”

From the warm, welcoming atmosphere in the clinic to the innovative, compassionate, individualized treatment of their clients to the workplace culture that emphasizes staff satisfaction, fosters therapist growth through layers of supervision and encourages team members to practice self-care, Azira Mental Health has created a place that is changing lives for their clients and their staff clinicians. You could call it their secret sauce. Whatever it is, it’s working and Azira Mental Health looks to continue leading the way in providing the highest quality mental health services to those in need.
