Where Story Finds Meaning

You are more than your diagnosis.

And your story is still being written.

At Storyguide Mental Health, we believe that meaningful psychiatric care begins with understanding the person behind the symptoms.

Our experiences shape how we see ourselves, relate to others, and navigate this world. But they don’t have to define what comes next.

Through thoughtful medications management, psychotherapy, and an integrative approach to mental health, we work together to understand where you’ve been, where you are, and where you’d like to go.

Meet John

I am John Yates, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with more than 20 years of experience in healthcare.

My approach combines evidence-based psychiatric treatment with psychotherapy, curiosity, and a belief that understanding our experiences is essential to meaningful change.

I don't believe mental health care should be reduced to diagnoses and prescriptions. I believe it should be a collaborative process, one that considers your relationships, experiences, values, and the life you want to create.

A thoughtful approach to mental health.

Care that meets you where you are, with room to explore where you want to go
