LEADERSHIP
A MESSAGE FROM CHELSEY O'DONNELL,
OUR FOUNDER & CEO
When I founded Verge, my vision was simple. To create a multi-disciplinary, equitable, and growth-oriented environment that challenges the current landscape of the mental health field. I wanted Verge to be different from the rest— a place where accessibility and affordability did not mean lower quality care. I wanted our clients to have the red carpet experience without the "private-pay only" costs.
As Verge continues to grow and expand through locations, service offerings, clients, and clinicians, my mission is to maintain our authenticity. My hope is that Verge will continue to grow as a leader in our community and will pave the way for decreasing the stigma around accessing services, maintaining advocacy for increased mental health services, and being a safe space for clinicians to thrive.

A MESSAGE FROM KJ LINDQUIST,
OUR CCO
In growing Verge, I wanted to create a practice that honors authenticity and provides genuine human-to-human care. I firmly believe in showing up as a fellow human first, and a therapist second. As therapists, we are not superior and are not the model of perfect mental health. We are simply dedicated to self-improvement and are passionate about supporting others on their personal journeys.
​
I don’t believe that we ever reach the limit on how much we can grow personally and professionally and that’s why my focus in on the growth and development of our clinical team. We are constantly working on ourselves, learning, deepening our skills, accepting help, and appreciating this human experience. The most amazing part is that we are all in this parallel process together, alongside our clients. By prioritizing good supervision and a positive work environment that values clinicians and nurtures personal development, we can offer the best quality of care to our clients.
