Our Mission: Empowering Mental Health as Your Personal Continuum

The Reason Behind the Method

In 2019, the mental health conversation exploded—celebrities baring their souls, campaigns going viral, social media amplifying voices to millions. Yet, paradoxically, the crisis deepened: anxiety and depression rates soared, burnout became epidemic. It hit me hard. Why the disconnect? The answer lay in a simple comparison: physical versus mental health.

Think about physical care. It’s a well-mapped continuum, not a cliff. Your doctor explains how daily choices—poor diet, inactivity—trigger metabolic shifts: muscle atrophy, artery plaque, insulin resistance, paving the way to diabetes or heart disease. Then? A buffet of options: meds to stabilize, referrals to specialists, gyms on every block. Equipment labels spell it out—”targets core strength”—giving you control, a shared language for symptoms and strategies.

Bridging the Gap

Providing Integrated and Accessible Care

Mental health lags behind. We leap to labels—MDD, GAD, ADHD—skipping the how: how breakups, job losses, grief, or genetics tangle with lifestyle to spark hormonal chaos, inflammation, gut disruptions, sleep dysregulation. These aren’t sudden “disorders”; they’re spectrum points, like high cholesterol. But options? Slim: talk therapy or meds, often unexplained. “Breathe deeply—it’s helpful.” Helpful how? What brain pathway does it soothe? If it flops, then what? No wonder help-seeking waits for rock bottom. And post-crisis? A labyrinth of terms—outpatient, IOP, PHP, residential, detox, hospital—with providers in silos, no central guide. Patients DIY the puzzle, exhausted before healing begins.

This isn’t sustainable. Stats climb because the system reacts, not prevents; limits choices; obscures mechanics; isolates experts. But imagine mental health as that empowering gym: tools labeled, teams collaborating, progress tracked. That’s our origin story at Regional Psychiatry—a mission to bridge the gap with integrated, accessible care that honors the full continuum.

Our Breakthrough: STARR

The Gym for the Brain

Enter STARR (Stress & Trauma, Active, Release & Rewiring Exercises): our proprietary, evidence-based model reimagining mental wellness as targeted training. Proven in U.S. Military programs, schools, corporations, and hospitals—with data showing dramatic drops in symptoms and boosts in resilience—STARR integrates biology and behavior.

We decode the stress-to-symptom slide (e.g., how cortisol floods erode focus), then equip you with precise interventions. No vague advice; think clear “labels”: “This rewires trauma loops; that rebuilds emotional regulation.” All under one insured platform—affordable, in-house, customizable. Dip in for prevention, layer up for recovery. You’re the center; we build the team.

Empowering You to Own Your Mental Health

Regional Psychiatry isn’t just care; it’s a paradigm where mental health feels owned, not endured. We’re fueled by the lives we’ve transformed—and the data proving integrated models work. Insured access means no barriers; your journey means everything.

If you’re ready to step into a space where mental health feels approachable and owned—where a team rallies around you—we invite you to start today.

What Our Patients Say

Christina Alfano
I want to give credit to this facility. Every experience ive had with staff has been amazing. Also, Jason D. has been wonderful. He listens to his patients and in my own opinion, he shows he cares. He doesn't try to pull you in a direction as far as medication therapy that he thinks will work for you. He is open to trying new things that you suggest but willing to stick with what is working for you. I switched to regional after my previous doctor's office refused to take my insurance, demanding I pay out of pocket for mandatory tests at an inflated cost. I am glad I switched. Its a refreshing change. A huge thanks to Jason and the staff for not treating your patients as a number.
Abageal Roland
Dawn Lee is an amazing therapist. I made more progress with her in a couple months than in years of previous therapy. The whole practice is run very efficiently and I recommend any one of the therapists. They are great with follow up, and the front staff is very prompt with responses and wonderful at customer service. I am a psych NP myself, and good psych care can be hard to find. Very pleased here.
Dylan Taylor
Where to start! Dr. Pleener and his team are the best around. I came to Dr. Pleener 3 years ago suffering from severe panic attacks that made it near impossible to live a functional life. Since day 1, he has shown genuine care in not only alleviating my suffering but giving me the wellness tools to live a much healthier and fulfilling life. It’s hard to find quality care in medicine. When doctors see so many patients, it’s easy to feel like a cog in their machine. Dr. Pleener gives you his full undivided attention for the time you are together and works with your preferences to come up with the best possible solution for you. He takes pride in his work and sincerely cares about helping you. I’m very lucky I found him when I did. His team is also great and responsive. Always have had a good experience with his staff. You will be in good care here.
Jacqui Coker
Joey is by far the best therapist I’ve ever had, for the way he helps me look at things and the way he has helped me trust myself more. I feel I am much more mindful of being kind to my own self. Joey & Regional psychiatry are invaluable to me + where I am in my life right now. I know I am blessed for this level of care and feel very grateful. Jacqui*

My psychiatric evaluation with Regional Psychiatry was a really positive experience from start to finish. The entire process was smooth, well-organized, and easy to follow, which helped ease any initial nerves I had going in. The provider was extremely friendly, patient, and made me feel comfortable opening up without any pressure or judgment. I felt genuinely heard and understood throughout the appointment. Overall, it was a very professional and supportive experience, and I would definitely recommend Regional Psychiatry to anyone looking for a thorough and welcoming evaluation.
