Paul Graf, Founder & CEO Health Young Minds
Healthy Young Minds is redefining pediatric therapy, for the better.
Using personalized, engaging telemedicine and the latest evidence-based, data-driven interventions, we help children and teens up to age 21 build the strategies they need to become more resilient, self-sufficient, regulated and functional.
We also emphasize early intervention. Research shows that early interventions translate to better outcomes—as a child’s brain grows, it has less plasticity and becomes harder to “rewire”.
Our Purpose
“My wife Susanne and I have three young children. Our oldest has autism.
We aren’t alone. 1 in 44 kids are diagnosed with autism every year. Rates of autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and learning delays among children and teens are skyrocketing.
But like too many families, we lacked access to high-quality mental and behavioral health care.
That’s why, after 25 years as a technology entrepreneur and investor, I was determined to solve the biggest problems in mental healthcare for kids and teens – ensuring equal access to care, especially with Medicaid.
I founded The Vail Mind Center, a pediatric behavioral and mental health outpatient clinic located in Edwards, Colorado. When the first wave of COVID-19 came, we transitioned to Telehealth only and 80%+ of children thrived.
Our tremendous success with teletherapy during COVID-19 inspired me to build the next generation of Pediatric Telehealth Services. Our mission is to make sure every child has access to the most effective behavioral, developmental and mental health care available – regardless of patient geography, income or insurance provider (including Medicaid).
Through our telehealth model, we are meeting the profound needs of a massively underserved population.”
A Team That Cares
Through our teletherapy model, families can access our deep bench of Doctoral and Masters level therapists across multiple disciplines. Our collaborative care model enables young people to benefit from support across multiple areas. Multidisciplinary care is also foundational to Early Intervention.
Our therapists work together across disciplines to develop and adjust treatment plans to ensure a child’s needs are being addressed and progress is maintained.
We Deliver Results
HYM therapists use proven, evidence-based therapies that have been developed and researched to address specific challenges and deliver results.
Our data-driven care plans provide metrics for care, inform updates and adjustments, to ensure that your child or teen makes progress and reaches their full potential.
We are also experts in Early Intervention. Studies show that early interventions translate to better outcomes—as a child’s brain grows, it has less plasticity and becomes harder to “rewire”.
