Our Story

Advaita Health began with a simple but urgent question: how do we create a place that patients and providers can flourish despite the broken healthcare system?  

Back in 2017, I joined as co-founder of Green Hill Recovery. The early vision was driven by both heartbreak and hope. Some of our friends had received treatment and were thriving in recovery after going through long-term transitional living programs. Others never received help at all, and tragically overdosed. We wanted to build a program that integrated high-quality clinical services with top-notch educational and vocational opportunities.  

My business partner at the time, Ben, thought he saw an opportunity in the high-end transitional living market. My own motivation was different. I had spent years struggling with substance use and mental health challenges, and in my mid-20s, yoga and meditation radically changed the trajectory of my life. Green Hill was a way to channel that personal transformation into an organization that could help others. 

Those first years were chaos. We were earnest but inexperienced. We believed in education, meaningful work, and community — but we were also naïve. A mentor once told me bluntly: “You’re not a model of care. You’re an IOP with sober living that markets to wealthy families.” That feedback hurt, but it lit a fire. I realized that if we wanted to truly change lives, we had to do more than build a transitional living program that catered to the adult children of the top 1%. We had to build a real healthcare system. 

That realization set us on a new path. We saw how fragmented behavioral health was: patients bouncing from one office to another, no coordination, different EHRs, providers barely talking. If you had money, you could piece together good care. If you were on Medicaid, you might access integrated public systems with all their flaws. But the “missing middle” — people with commercial insurance — were left with shallow, disconnected care. 

Green Hill grew, but we kept running into the same walls. The private-pay model incentivized endless amenities without improving outcomes. We wanted to move beyond scarcity thinking, beyond chasing cash-pay clients, and into something sustainable and equitable: high-quality in-network care. 

That led to a pivotal step in 2019: contracting with insurance and building out outpatient services. By 2021, we launched Advaita Integrated Medicine (AIM) — our outpatient medical practice offering psychiatry, therapy, and later TMS. The name “Advaita,” Sanskrit for non-dual, reflected both a personal and organizational philosophy: mind and body are connected, patient and provider are connected, business and mission are connected. Everything is part of one whole. 

To support AIM, we formed Advaita Health Ventures (AHV), a management services organization. Green Hill remained as the licensed entity for PHP and IOP. Together, these entities became Advaita Health, which will become a flourishing-oriented system of care. 

The journey has been anything but linear. We’ve had false starts, financial peril, and plenty of mistakes. But the throughline has always been the same: building a place where patients can heal and providers can thrive, even within a healthcare system that so often grinds both down. 

Advaita Health exists because we believe there is another way. One where care is integrated, relationships matter, and flourishing is the goa
