Empowered minds is a collaborative private practice led by two compassionate therapists, Joy Patton, PhD, LMSW and Alicia Hawley-Bernardez, PhD, LMSW (supervised by Jennifer Vasquez, PhD, LCSW-S at Inspired Practice), who work together to empower clients on their mental health journeys. Through our shared vision, we provide expert care and innovative solutions to support individuals navigating life transitions, identity struggles, and mental health challenges.

Our work is supported by Inspired Practice, an organization dedicated to housing and supporting exceptional therapists. Inspired Practice provides the clinical supervision and infrastructure that enables Empowered Minds to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care in a virtual setting. Together we create a seamless and supportive environment for clients to heal, grow, and thrive.
