ABOUT CORNERSTONE BEHAVIORAL CARE
You have been carrying this long enough.
At Cornerstone, we provide both therapy and medication management, so whether you need one or both, you will find the clinical expertise and personalized care to help you move forward.
Most people wait years before asking for help.
They try to push through. They tell themselves it is not that bad. They wonder if they will be judged, misunderstood, or handed a prescription and sent on their way. Those fears are real, and they are exactly why Cornerstone exists.
We built this practice on a single belief: that psychiatric care should be both clinically rigorous and deeply personal. Whether you are here for therapy, medication management, or both, you deserve a provider who takes the time to understand your full picture, not just your symptoms, and builds a treatment plan that actually fits your life.

Jeanne founded Cornerstone Behavioral Care with a clear purpose — to provide mental health care that actually makes a difference. With over a decade of clinical experience, including time at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Johns Hopkins, and other respected institutions, she brings a strong foundation and a realistic understanding of what people face when navigating their mental health concerns.
Having worked across a range of clinical settings, Jeanne has seen firsthand what effective care looks like — and what gets in the way of it. That perspective directly shapes how Cornerstone operates. The focus is straightforward: quality, evidence-based behavioral health care in an environment where clients feel heard, supported, and equipped to make real progress.
Her approach is grounded, practical, and client-centered. She understands that people come here at some of the most difficult points in their lives and takes that responsibility seriously. The goal is not just symptom management — it is helping people build the tools and insight they need to function better and live well.
If you are looking for a practice built on clinical expertise and genuine investment in your care, Cornerstone Behavioral Care was built with you in mind.
Clinical excellence is not an aspiration here. It is the standard.
Our Mission
To provide expert psychiatric care that treats the whole person — not just the diagnosis. At Cornerstone, we combine clinical precision with genuine attentiveness so that every patient leaves feeling heard, supported, and equipped with a plan that actually works for their life.
Our Vision
A world where psychiatric care is accessible, stigma-free, and held to the highest clinical standard. We are building a practice where medication management and therapy are not last resorts — they are simply part of how people take care of themselves.
HOW WE PRACTICE
Three things we will never compromise on.
These are not talking points. They are the commitments we made before seeing our first patient — and hold ourselves to every single day.
01
You will never feel like a number here
Every appointment starts with listening. Not a checklist. Not a rushed 15-minute slot. You will leave each visit feeling like your provider actually knows who you are.
02
Medication and therapy, together
Medication management and therapy, both available at Cornerstone. No bouncing between providers. No repeating your story. Just focused, coordinated care from one place.
03
Care that evolves with you
From teens to seniors, we adjust our approach as your needs change — because good psychiatric care is never one-size-fits-all, and neither is the person receiving it.
GETTING STARTED
Here is exactly what happens when you reach out.
We know the unknown can feel scary. So here is the whole process, no surprises.

Your first visit: just a real conversation
Your first visit is a comprehensive evaluation where we ask questions, listen carefully, and get to know you as a whole person — not just your symptoms. No pressure. No judgment.

A plan that actually fits your life
Together you will build a treatment plan — whether that means medication management, therapy, or both. You will always have a say. Nothing gets decided without you.
5
Someone in your corner, long term
Regular follow-ups keep your care on track. As your life changes, so does your plan. This is not a one-and-done. This is ongoing support from a provider who actually knows your story.
