FOUNDER, PRESIDENT, CLINICAL DIRECTOR

Experience

Tina began her medical career at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Presbyterian Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. While maintaining employment with the University, she also saw clients at two facilities – Western Psychiatric Inpatient Clinic (WPIC) and Turtle Creek Mental Health Outpatient facilities. Upon completion of her MSN/FNP, she transitioned to the Adult Cardiac Surgery division at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center – Presbyterian while continuing employment in the outpatient psychiatric setting.

Tina’s extensive cardiology experience gained while employed at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Presbyterian Cardiac ICU and Adult Cardiac Surgery serves as a catalyst to her dedication to a holistic patient-centered approach, improving the care and treatment of all psychiatric patients, regardless of socioeconomic status. In 2012, she dedicated her practice to impoverished communities with Western PA Behavioral Health Resources where she served as the Clinical Supervisor for 11 years. She developed a website of current educational resources to support providers to expand their psychiatric knowledge base in partnership with Abbvie, a biopharmaceutical company.

She transitioned her doctoral studies to Walden University to research the benefits of pharmacogenomics in the pediatric psychiatric population while dual enrolled at Regis College of Massachusetts post-secondary Master's degree program to attain certification as a Primary Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

Tina Mathews-Hayes, owner and founder of Alis Family Psychiatry in Portland, OR, is passionate about helping people improve their health – from mental and physical to their overall quality of life! She has 18+ years of professional experience in medical and psychiatric care.

Tina, a dual-certified Nurse Practitioner in both family practice and psychiatric care, also practices at Seaside Behavioral Health in Virginia Beach, VA. She is licensed to practice in Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

In her free time, Tina’s passions are her family and travel. She believes that raising her children as a working single parent was the hardest part of her journey and her proudest accomplishment is her children and who they have become today. She will explore Ghana this summer to host a vaccine clinic in Ghana in 2025. She brings warmth, compassion, dedication, and cheerful energy to her practice every day.

Public Speaker

As a public speaker and educator on the topic of mental health, Tina gives keynotes, lectures, presentations, panel discussions, and round tables.
