Thomas Murphy spent years on the road, touring as a musician, which allowed him to meet people of all walks of life. He listened to people's stories and was exposed to such a wide variety of people with unique experiences, which allowed him to come into the field of nursing with an open mind. He developed a passion for caring for people with psychiatric disorders starting from his time as a CNA - quickly realizing that mental illness discriminates against no one. Keeping with this mindset has allowed Thomas to use his skills and creativity to form unique care plans for all patients.

It is not enough to diagnose depression or anxiety and treat those conditions with medications. It is important to identify the specific emotions involved in our experience, then to connect those emotions to events, memories, dreams and wishes. This is what puts us on the road to resolution of emotional conflict, which, in turn, allows us to build and enhance loving connections with others, and to do our work.
