Our History
A look back at the milestones that shaped NTMHP into the community it is today.
NTMHP Founded
Founded in April 2015 by Antonio Medina, LMFT-S, NTMHP was created to provide an inclusive community for mental health professionals seeking connection and support.
Community Expands
As NTMHP gained recognition among mental health professionals, Marjorie Boucher, LPC-S, was brought on board to help expand the community and manage the Facebook group.
Growth During the Pandemic
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with nearly everything shifting online, the group made significant strides forward — doubling in size year over year.
Largest Mental Health Group in Texas
A new admin, Jennifer Shotwell, LPC-S joins to help manage the group as its success quickly propels NTMHP to become the largest mental health professional group in Texas.
Official Website Launched
Recognizing the need to better organize resources beyond the Facebook platform, an official NTMHP website is developed and launched. Board Members are added to support the site's growth and maintenance.
Still Growing Strong
NTMHP continues to grow, surpassing 11,000 members. Partnerships have been established and continue to expand, strengthening the resources available to mental health professionals across North Texas.
