About Nora Mental Health

Our Story

Compassionate, Client-Centered Mental Health Care

 

Dr. Cullen Hardy, founder of Nora Mental Health, is a Doctor of Psychology with extensive experience supporting individuals of all ages—adolescents, adults, and seniors. His approach is shaped by both professional expertise and personal experience, including over 18 years of sobriety.

 

Dr. Hardy holds a Bachelor's degree in Anthropology from the University of Notre Dame, and a Master’s and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University New England. His training in evidence-based therapies—including CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness—guides his work with individuals navigating a wide range of emotional and mental health challenges.

 

Innovative Programs & Real-World Support

 

Recognizing the unique pressures faced by students, Dr. Hardy developed a college coaching program that blends in-office therapy with on-campus support. This holistic model meets students where they are, helping them thrive academically, emotionally, and personally.

 

A New Model of Mental Health Care

 

Dr. Hardy founded Nora Mental Health after seeing too many mental health systems become overwhelmed, impersonal, and disconnected from the needs of clients and clinicians. Nora was built to change that—with a focus on compassion, personalized care, and a culture that values both clients and staff.

 

Growing Nationwide With a Shared Mission

 

To expand access to high-quality care, Dr. Hardy developed a franchise model that brings Nora’s values to communities across the United States. Each location is independently owned by professionals who share our commitment to empathy, respect, and clinical excellence.

The Nora culture—rooted in compassion, connection, and care—carries through to every franchised clinic, ensuring consistent, high-quality mental health services nationwide.
