Local Hinsdale Mental Health Clinic Celebrates 30 Years! 

Stillpoint Mental Health Associates SC 

For 3 decades, Stillpoint Mental Health has stood, providing a sanctuary for those navigating the complexities of mental wellness. The practice celebrates its 30th anniversary, marking a significant milestone in its mission to transform healthcare through kindness, expertise, and commitment to The Village of Hinsdale, The Community House, District 181, and the Chicago suburbs. A legacy of excellence founded and formally led by Dr. Ralph Cusick and Dr. Brendan Beresford, Stillpoint built its reputation on a foundation of clinical integrity. In 2022, that torch was officially passed to Dr. Deepti Shenoi, a Hinsdale native. Under Dr. Shenoi’s leadership, the practice continues to honor its heritage while embracing a vision for the future—one that emphasizes progress and hope for every patient who walks through their doors. What sets Stillpoint apart is its robust, collaborative team of specialists. By offering a full spectrum of services—including psychiatric care, counseling, and comprehensive psychological testing—they ensure that patients of all ages receive support under one roof. Since 2021, Practice Manager Katie Kurpiel has been a driving force behind Stillpoint’s evolution. By streamlining modern policies and procedures and expanding Stillpoint’s reach through social media marketing, Katie has ensured that the practice remains accessible to a new generation of patients. Her dedication to growing the business to help more people mirrors the heart of the clinic: a desire to expand the circle of healing throughout the surrounding suburbs. Looking ahead as Stillpoint Mental Health enters its fourth decade, its goal remains clear: to be a beacon of light for those in need. Whether through innovative therapy or empathetic psychiatric management, the practice remains dedicated to the belief that every individual deserves a path towards self-acceptance. Congratulations to the entire team at Stillpoint Mental Health on 30 years of service to Hinsdale and beyond.
