Learn About Our Company
Enspire Consulting Group, LLC, was founded by Dr. Frank and Stacey Edwards in 2015. This husband and wife team has worked in education and mental health for over 20 years in multiple capacities.
At the forefront of Frank and Stacey’s work is a commitment to enhancing academic achievement while supporting the family’s mental health because of the recognized challenges surrounding the need for appropriate student placements and a lack of culturally sensitive mental health services for families.
Enspire Consulting Group, LLC believes in the power of community and giving back. We are affiliated with the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) and are the driving force behind Enspire Foundation.

Doreen Thomas-Payne
Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
I bring over 20 years of nursing experience in various specialties to the practice. As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, I have worked with patients of all ages, helping them manage symptoms from challenges like depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). I care for my patient's mental health by evaluating their condition, developing a plan to improve it, giving them psychoeducation and counseling, and managing medications.
My patients' long-term health is one of my primary concerns, and I want to do everything I can to help them. Providing evidence-based, individualized care for each patient's needs and compassion is essential to promote recovery. The most important parts of my practice are working with patients and their loved ones, emphasizing wellness, and giving each patient a personalized treatment plan.
I understand that seeking out mental health care can be challenging and frightening. I'm here to listen to your needs and ensure you feel welcome in a safe space as we work together.
