A bittersweet circumstance. Align North wishes you the best of luck on your new adventure Chad and we look forward to working with Beacon of Strength in our community!
After nearly seven years and several hundred clients, I’ve made the difficult decision to close my practice. I will officially be closing at the end of February.
Bringing mental health care to the community I love has always been my highest priority. I’m proud to have transitioned services to Beacon of Strength, ensuring support remains local and accessible.
It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the Eastern Mesabi. Due to rising health care costs and the ongoing challenges of insurance reimbursement for a small solo practice, I’ve chosen to step into a different role.
Though this chapter is ending, our community remains in good hands.
I want to sincerely thank everyone who supported me throughout the years—especially my family, and my landlord, Vision Pros, who provided a welcoming and affordable space. Without that support, none of this would have been possible for as long as it was.
