Story
Get to Know Us
Julian and I started our work together doing Cognitive Enhancement Therapy (CET) about 10 years ago. After CET we have worked closely on a very successful Coordinated Specialty Care team (CSC) in Kansas City helping young adults get back on track after psychosis. We have a great collaborative relationship. As a team we are very creative in finding ways to make recovery work for our clients.

Erin McGrath
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMH-NP-BC)
I have been working with and learning from people who have psychotic experiences for the past 20 years. For the past 5 years I have been helping to develop a team that focuses on the early treatment of psychosis in young adults.
I love to create creative pathways of recovery for young adults to help them get back to the life they envisioned before psychosis.
Julian Seyal
Recovery Coach
Education and Employment Specialist
I bring over 10 years of mental health experience in the Kansas City community, combining evidence-based strategies with a focus on Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy (CTR). I also am a Cognitive Enhancement Therapy coach for the past 7 years and, although we do not offer CET, I bring this influence to my practice. My coaching supports each young person in reconnecting with their values and strengths while addressing the real-life impacts of early psychosis.
