Testimonials
The RISE program has been a safe place for residents. The providers are readily available to help.
Rise mental health was there for me when I needed it the most.
Having a safe outlet and a professional environment where I learn to cope with general life stressors has been useful. I appreciate that it is so accessible as well. It has also made me more productive and effective.
I am so proud of my story because it brought me hope, joy, and inner peace. I am no longer at war with myself, so I am no longer distracted from my dedication to becoming the best physician that I can be.
The treatment was integrated; it wasn’t just a pill. I benefited from psychiatric care as well as psychological therapy. The skills I learned in behavioral therapy ought to be learned by all residents, not only those seeking mental health.
It was like getting an operation manual for my brain. It gave me some space between myself and my thoughts. I think that has been incredibly helpful.

Physician Support
Psychiatrist Services Outside of Hennepin Healthcare
To maintain professional boundaries between psychiatry faculty and trainees, psychiatry residents seeking medication management appointments are referred to Dr. Goelz or to an outside clinic. Here are some options:
1. Contact Dr. Goelz (RISE PCP at RISE-Primary Care on TelmedIQ) to determine if she can prescribe psychiatric medications or if specialty care by a psychiatrist is needed. If so, she can help connect you to a community referral.
2. Expanse MN is a welcoming and confidential environment for physicians to access high-quality mental health care. Appointments are offered in-person and via telehealth and are typically scheduled within one week of initial contact.
- Review the ExpanseMN website and provider biographies to identify a psychiatrist who best fits your preference, if desired.
- Complete the contact us form and indicate that you are a resident participating in the RISE program at HHS.
While this clinic is recommended for psychiatry residents seeking medication management, you do not need to use Expanse MN. If you choose to use a provider other than Expanse MN, it is your responsibility to confirm insurance benefits and to be aware of any associated co-pays and costs. RISE will reimburse up to $30 per visit.
If you have any questions or encounter issues, please contact Allisa Velasco via PerfectServ for assistance.
Neuropsychology
Dr. Clare Humphreys, Ph.D., ABPP-CN LP, offers neuropsychological evaluation and psychoeducation to residents employed by HHS. Neuropsychology can help you better understand your cognitive strengths and challenges and how they may affect your learning, performance, and well-being. The evaluation process includes a clinical interview, standardized cognitive tests, mental and physical health inventories, and a follow-up visit to review results and recommendations. Dr. Humphreys uses a strengths-based approach to help identify new strategies, address challenges, and support your success in training.
Referrals to Dr. Humphreys can be made through any RISE provider. If you’re wondering whether neuropsychological services might be helpful for you, please consult Dr. Goelz or a member of the psychology or psychiatry team.
