At Hope Mental Health, Satu Woodland, PMHCNS-BC, APRN and Cody Haas, PMHNP-BC, APRN treat those in the Treasure Valley with mental health problems. Treatment typically begins with a comprehensive evaluation of a patient’s medical history, past psychiatric history, cultural issues, and lab work. From there, the team tailors a treatment program that promotes mental health wellness through healthy habits, behavioral counseling, medications when needed, and psychotherapy. Providers can address any number of mental health problems, including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), schizophrenia, and bipolar illness. The goal at Hope Mental Health is to achieve remission by helping patients deal with the here-and-now and providing them with the tools they need to lead productive and happy lives.

After Hours Walk In Clinic
Like other clinics we do charge for no shows and cancellations less than 48 hour notice which is a flat $100. However recently we have created a way for our patients to avoid the fee under certain conditions. On Monday and Thursday nights we hold a walk in clinic for our established patients who missed their appointment or canceled with less than 48 hour notice. (Not available for new patients) From 6 PM to 7 PM, we will see anybody who shows up before 6:59 PM. You may not have to wait at all or you may have to wait up to an hour depending when you show up and how many other people are waiting in line before you. It will likely be a very quick visit to review meds and send in refills. No therapy will be offered during this time. We will bill your insurance or charge you the regular cash fee for medication management only. Please do not make a habit of using the walk in clinics. If you prefer scheduled very short visits please call the office so we can plan in advance during regular business hours. The patient is required to attend the walk-in clinic that same week he misses his scheduled appointment for the penalty fee not be charged (Can't spill over to the next week).
Community Outreach Presentations
Hope Mental Health values being a part of the Treasure Valley Community! One way we try to reach out to our community is by speaking about mental health related topics to various groups and organizations in the area. The focus of these events is education and awareness of mental illnesses. Presentations may include: epidemiologic statistics, signs/symptoms, latest treatments, and prognosis for the identified topics; followed by a Q&A session. The presentation can also be tailored to fit your group’s needs.
We love teaching about mental health first aide; to help community members identify those who need professional help. Mr. Haas and Ms. Woodland have presented to various groups including parent groups, school districts, church groups, clinician groups and more. These events allow the attendees to have their specific questions answered, take a more active role in decreasing the stigma around mental illness through an open dialogue, and inform our providers of the greatest need in the community so we can serve you better! If your group could benefit from such an event, please reach out to our office to schedule a provider.

Our office is right by the Boise Greenbelt, and together we can walk and be out in nature while we talk about your problems. Let’s get those neurotransmitters working!
