Our Story and Mission
In 2012, Elizabeth Portman Minne, Ph.D launched a school-embedded mental health pilot program at a single high school in Austin, Texas. By 2015, Minne’s behavioral health agency, Vida Clinic, helped to expand this work into numerous other school communities. As Vida Clinic continues to make strides in connecting people with the quality support they need, we partner with various organizations, schools and individuals to offer a menu of services that promote individual change through systems-oriented care. Our goal is to provide access to quality clinical mental health care for every child, adult and organization that needs it.
Vida Clinic is a woman-owned business.
Our Philosophy
Outcomes Oriented
We use clinical assessment instruments collaboratively with our clients as tools for creating a healing experience that helps to know themselves better. This assessment paradigm helps clients to feel less burdened by their mental health issues and more optimistic about their treatment course. For Vida Clinic therapists, the use of assessment is part of the therapeutic relationship, rather than simply a “data gathering” endeavor that happens prior to therapy sessions. Furthermore, assessment outcomes help to ensure that the care we provide is effective for our clients.
