Relief Mental Health Honored as Emerging Business of the Year by Northbrook Chamber of Commerce
NORTHBROOK, Ill., March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Relief Mental Health, a leading outpatient provider of mental health treatment, is proud to announce its recognition as the Emerging Business of the Year by the Northbrook Chamber of Commerce. Founded by Susan Mueller, CEO, Relief Mental Health first opened its doors in Oak Brook, Ill., in January 2020—just before the onset of the pandemic—followed by a clinic in Northbrook in September that year. Since then, the organization has expanded to 11 clinics across three states, demonstrating its commitment to delivering innovative and accessible mental health care. At the forefront of Relief Mental Health's offerings is transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive, FDA-approved therapy for depression, OCD and other diagnoses that utilizes magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. TMS is covered by insurance, produces no systemic side effects, and is effective in treating patients whose symptoms have not improved with routine treatments like medications and therapy. In addition to TMS, Relief Mental Health provides SPRAVATO® (esketamine) nasal spray, an FDA-approved medication for adults with treatment-resistant depression or depression accompanied by suicidal thoughts or behaviors. A form of ketamine, SPRAVATO® works differently than traditional antidepressants by restoring the balance of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, providing rapid relief from depressive symptoms. When used in combination with TMS therapy, patients may experience both immediate and sustained improvements in their mental health. Recognizing the importance of a comprehensive approach to mental health, Relief Mental Health integrates psychiatric medication management and therapy into personalized treatment plans. This holistic strategy ensures that each patient receives tailored care, addressing their unique needs and promoting long-term well-being. Unlike many psychiatric providers with long waitlists, Relief Mental Health prioritizes expedited access to care—getting patients seen within a week, or even days, of their initial call. "Timely intervention is crucial for individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, and other mental health diagnoses," said Mueller. "By eliminating barriers to treatment, we ensure that those in need receive help when they need it most." The treatment team at Relief's Northbrook clinic includes Teresa Poprawski, MD, neuropsychiatrist and chief medical officer; Anna Hereth, PA-C, CAQ-PSYCH, psychiatric physician assistant; Caroline Onischak, APRN, PMHNP-BC, psychiatric nurse practitioner; Susan Anewalt, LPC, CADC, therapist; and Julia Cleary, clinic manager and certified TMS technician. Their collective expertise and delivery of personalized care have been instrumental in the clinic's success and recognition within the community. Relief Mental Health will officially accept the Emerging Business of the Year award in person at the Northbrook Chamber's Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner on March 31. Relief's Northbrook clinic is located at 899 Skokie Blvd., Suite 260.
