Dr. John Schick, PhD founded Psychiatric Alternatives & Wellness Center in 2011 with a simple goal: make quality mental health care affordable and accessible, without sacrificing the coordinated, collaborative treatment patients deserve. Dr. Schick brought decades of experience as a clinical psychologist to that vision, having seen firsthand how disconnected therapy and psychiatric care left too many patients managing their treatment alone. He set out to build a practice where therapists and psychiatrists work together on behalf of the people they serve.
Since founding PAWC, Dr. Schick has kept the practice privately owned, a deliberate choice that has let PAWC stay true to that founding mission as it has grown. Today, that same commitment to affordable, collaborative, high-quality care continues to guide every provider and every patient relationship at PAWC.
