Welcome to Raise Behavioral Health

We're so glad you found us! At Raise Behavioral Health, our mission is simple: to truly help, genuinely listen, and create the positive changes you seek for yourself and your family. My husband, Jason, and I founded this practice with a commitment to be a source of good in our community, always striving to leave everyone we encounter better than we found them. Our practice is built by our family, for your family, with a special focus on supporting children and adolescents ages 0-25 in whatever way we can.

Our approach to care is unparalleled. We dedicate hours to planning, collaborating, and tailoring our interventions and services to meet the unique needs and interests of each child we serve. Our practice is uniquely focused on children and adolescents, specializing in family therapy and holistic psychiatric care. We combine research-based, evidence-driven practices to deliver effective and timely results for the families we serve.

We are proud to be one of the few husband-and-wife teams in the Valley, combining our expertise as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. This partnership allows us to leverage each other's strengths, offering comprehensive care that addresses the medical, emotional, and systemic needs of the children and families we support.

Additionally, every therapist on our team has been personally trained and continues to be supervised by me, Jessica, ensuring that our standards of care remain consistent and of the highest quality. While we recognize the healing potential of medication, our approach often begins with exploring natural alternatives—such as therapy, dietary changes, reduced screen time, and increased physical activity—especially for our younger clients.

We are honored that you are considering us to support your family's journey, and we cannot wait to be trusted to help your children and family be their best selves.

We look forward to meeting you,
Jessica Hardman, LMFT, BHP
Jason Hardman PMHNP-BC
