Our Practice
MercyOne Genesis Psychology Associates was one of the largest private practices in the Quad-cities area.

Our providers enjoy flexible scheduling and maintain healthy work-life balance with 8-5pm workdays with no nights or weekends. We take pride in being a supportive and collaborative multi-disciplinary team with a reputation for excellence within our community.
We offer a full array of supportive services to free practitioners of billing, scheduling, credentialing, and other practice demands. Generous continuing education stipends support providers who wish to travel to state, regional, and national conferences.
Our Health System
We are proud of our affiliation with MercyOne Genesis and its 150-year heritage to our local community. MercyOne Genesis serves over 700,000 residents in a 17 county, bi-state region with five hospitals.

Additionally, it allows us to offer competitive compensation packages and practice amenities that allow providers to focus on their patients, not all the tedious logistics of a practice.
