Just because it’s viral doesn’t mean it’s valid.

Mental health advice is everywhere right now on TikTok, in reels, on story slides.
But not all of it is safe.

And some of it can actually harm the very people it claims to help.
If you’ve ever felt confused by conflicting advice online or unsure of who to trust, you’re not alone.

In this carousel, we break down how to spot red flags, what to look for in trustworthy mental health content, and why nuance and credentials matter.
Because your healing deserves better than quick fixes and catchy quotes.
It deserves care that’s honest, evidence-based, and human.

Tried everything for your depression or OCD and still not feeling like yourself? You’re not alone. And you’re not out of options.

TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a non-invasive, medication-free treatment backed by research and real stories of hope.

It’s helping people move forward when nothing else has. And at Vantage, we make it easy to explore whether it’s right for you, with real support, transparent answers, and a care team that genuinely cares.

💡 In this post, we break it all down:

✔️ What TMS is
✔️ Who it helps
✔️ What to expect
✔️ How to get started

Because everyone deserves access to effective, compassionate mental health care.

📍 Available at our Stillwater, MN clinic

You don’t have to wait for things to fall apart.
Sometimes it’s not a full-blown crisis.
It’s just… harder to get out of bed.
You’re a little more snappy than usual.
The things that used to help aren’t helping as much.
You feel fine, just not really yourself.

That’s enough of a reason to check in.

Therapy isn’t just for emergencies.
It’s for the slow unraveling. The quiet overwhelm.
The “I can handle this” that’s getting harder to say.

At Vantage, we believe support should feel accessible, steady, and human especially in the in-between.

Why is it so hard to focus, start things, or remember simple tasks?

You’re not lazy.
You’re not broken.
Your brain might just work differently.

This post breaks down what ADHD really looks like — especially the part no one talks about: executive function.

(And yes, it shows up in kids and adults.)

At our Saint Anthony clinic, care begins with connection.

Clinic Director Julie Sabin and Medical Director Dr. Claire Garber lead with compassion, curiosity, and deep commitment to the families we serve.

Julie helps young people feel safe enough to open up and supported enough to grow.
Dr. Garber walks alongside children and teens over time, offering consistent, thoughtful psychiatric care as they navigate life’s changes.

They’re not just providers. They’re partners in healing.

And they’re here to make sure every child, teen, and parent who walks through our doors feels welcomed, heard, and genuinely cared for.

Lately, there’s been a lot of noise about autism.
Big claims. Confusing headlines. A rush to assign blame or find a single cause.

But autism isn’t a media trend. It’s a real, complex neurodevelopmental condition, and families deserve better than speculation or fear.

💡 There is no reliable evidence that Tylenol causes autism.
💡 Leucovorin might help in very specific genetic cases, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all treatment.
💡 Genetic testing can be helpful, but only as part of thoughtful, evidence-based care.
💡 And most of all: autism is not anyone’s fault.

Let’s keep the conversation grounded, careful, and centered on what actually helps. Kids and families deserve support, not scare tactics.

You don’t have to have the perfect words to support someone.
Sometimes, it’s the small, quiet things, a thoughtful check-in, holding space without rushing to fix, or gently reminding them they’re not alone, that matter most.

If you’re not sure how to be there for someone, start here. These four simple shifts can help you support with more care, more empathy, and more intention.

Because we all need someone who listens, really listens.

Just two directors, making sure care feels a little more human.

Ashley Tix and Dr. Justin Gerstner lead our Stillwater clinic, not from behind closed doors, but by staying connected to what really matters: people.

They’re therapists and psychiatrists, yes. But also listeners, collaborators, and firm believers that mental health care should feel safe, steady, and personal.

At Vantage, leadership looks like this.

What actually happens during a psychiatric evaluation?

It’s not a test.
It’s not a label.
It’s a conversation.

A psychiatric evaluation is simply a mental health check-in with a professional trained to listen, ask the right questions, and help you make sense of what you’re feeling.

At Vantage, we approach these conversations with compassion, not assumptions.
Whether you’re navigating stress, seeking clarity, or just not feeling like yourself, this is a space where you’ll be seen, not judged.

Not sure who to see for your mental health?
You’re not alone, and you don’t need to have it all figured out to take the first step.

Therapist, psychiatrist, psychologist, nurse practitioner… it can feel confusing.
This guide breaks it down simply, so you can better understand your options and choose what feels right for you.

Because care should feel clear, not complicated.
And the right support? It can make all the difference.

At Vantage, we’re here to walk with you. No pressure, no judgment, just care built around who you are.

✨ Start where you are. Find what fits. Find your vantage.

Meet Julie, our Clinical Director at St. Anthony

Julie brings not only deep clinical expertise but also a heart for working with children, teens, and families through life’s most challenging moments.
From anxiety and trauma to ADHD and OCD, she uses evidence-based care rooted in compassion and connection. Her work is affirming, inclusive, and developmentally attuned, helping kids and teens feel seen, understood, and supported in every step of their journey.

She’s certified in PEERS® social skills for adolescents, SPACE parent-based treatment for childhood anxiety, and offers therapy that blends CBT, ERP, and play-based approaches, meeting each child where they are.

As Clinical Director, Julie helps shape the heart of our St. Anthony clinic, making sure every family who walks through our doors feels safe, supported, and truly cared for.

We’re Growing, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞
Vantage Mental Health is opening a second location in St. Anthony, MN this September. 🎉

But before we tell you what’s new, let us tell you what hasn’t changed.
- We’re still a nonprofit.
- We still don’t have shareholders.
- And we’re still building for people.
- This expansion isn’t about margins. It’s about mission.

We’re growing because 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥, 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬.
We’re growing because 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥-𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨.
And we’re growing because we’ve seen what happens when clinicians are empowered to lead with purpose.

In St. Anthony, we’re creating a new clinic grounded in these same values, and led by incredible people:

👏 Julie Sabin, LPCC will serve as Clinic Director
👏 Claire Garber, DO will lead as Psychiatry Director
👏 Kirby Kaczor, LPCC, who’s been commuting to Stillwater, will now join the St. Anthony team full-time

This new location is about accessibility, community, and sustainability. It’s about giving like-minded clinicians in the North Metro a place to practice in a system that reflects their values.

And just like in Stillwater, this clinic won’t be a copy-paste model. Julie and Dr. Garber will shape the culture from the inside with autonomy, flexibility, and the freedom to do what works best for their team and clients.

We believe there’s a better way to grow in mental health care; 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲. 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐭, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭.
That’s the Vantage difference.

We’re honored to take this next step, and proud to do it without ever losing sight of why we started.
