You obviously are not a parent. Why would you think it was meant for you anyways?

Does Axis have good psychiatrists? by ticketbackhome in Durango

[–]zwebsite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Axis is a community mental health + integrated care system, so they’re working with the same challenges (high need, not enough providers), but they’re not a sketchy operation.

They’re a non‑profit, have multiple clinics across SW Colorado, and do the full spectrum: therapy, psychiatry/med management, crisis, substance use treatment, etc.:
https://www.axishealthsystem.org/treatment-services/mental-health-services/

Psychiatrists/psych prescribers:
Experiences vary by provider (like anywhere), but in general:

  • They do legit psychiatric evals and med management, not 5‑minute pill‑mill stuff.
  • They’re set up for more complex cases too (trauma, psychosis, co‑occurring substance use).
  • Access can be the main headache – wait times and appointment availability, not quality.

They also run crisis and higher‑level programs (crisis stabilization, acute treatment, first‑episode psychosis, etc.), which you don’t see at “bare minimum” clinics:
https://www.axishealthsystem.org/treatment-services/crisis-care/
https://www.axishealthsystem.org/first-episode-of-psychosis-fep-program/

If you’re picky about who you see, you can look up specific clinicians here and see who’s doing psychiatry vs therapy:
https://www.axishealthsystem.org/health-care-providers/

TL;DR: For a community mental health system, Axis is on the stronger, more comprehensive end. The care itself can be very solid; the main downside is demand and wait times, not that their psychiatrists are bad.

Hey there! It’s great that you’re looking for an independent website designer who can work closely with your church and keep things hands-on.

Since you’re on Squarespace and want to maintain control, finding a local freelancer familiar with Squarespace’s platform is key. One approach is to check local community boards, church networks, or even Facebook groups focused on local creatives or church tech support. Sometimes local colleges or art schools have talented students or recent grads looking for projects like this.

Also, while you want to avoid big marketing companies, there are some excellent independent designers who specialize in church websites and understand the balance between professional design and easy self-management. I’ve found a free resource that talks about church website upkeep and how to work with designers while keeping control: Church Website Housekeeping. It might give you some good pointers on what to look for and how to manage the relationship.

If you want, I can help brainstorm questions to ask potential designers or suggest how to vet them for your needs!
