ABOUT ALIRA BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

Alira Behavioral Health was created to make mental health care feel more personal, thoughtful, and connected. We provide comprehensive psychiatric care for adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma, mood changes, life transitions, and other mental health concerns.

Alongside general adult psychiatry, Alira offers specialized expertise in women’s mental health and reproductive psychiatry, including PMDD, hormonal mood changes, infertility and IVF-related concerns, pregnancy loss, postpartum mental health, and perimenopause. Our goal is to provide care that recognizes the whole person—not simply a diagnosis.

OUR VISION

We are not a one-size-fits-all clinic. At Alira, we believe meaningful mental health care begins with understanding the person behind the symptoms. Our approach is compassionate, culturally responsive, faith-friendly, and grounded in evidence-based psychiatric care.

Each client receives individualized treatment based on their history, experiences, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. Whether you are seeking support for an everyday mental health concern or navigating the intersection of mental health, reproductive health, and hormonal change, our goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported throughout your care.

FROM PERSONAL PAIN TO PURPOSE

MEET THE FOUNDER

Alira Behavioral Health was shaped not only by clinical experience, but by lived understanding. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner and founder, Laywell Tedoe has witnessed firsthand how fragmented and dismissive mental health care can be for women during periods of medical, hormonal, and emotional vulnerability. Her work is grounded in the belief that women deserve care that is thoughtful, trauma-informed, and responsive to the full context of their lives, not rushed, minimized, or reduced to symptoms alone.
