MENTAL HEALTH: When Amanda Rieger Green, MPH works with clients through her business, Soul Pathology, her goal is to help them uncover their most authentic selves. But Rieger takes a more unconventional approach.?

"I'm a psychic medium and an intuitive, and I've had those gifts since I was very young," she says. "It's me communicating for your soul, your higher self, every version of you that ever was or ever will be. I ask, 'What are your challenges?' And I can see what's going on at a very deep fundamental level."?

Like traditional therapy, meditation and other practices that support mental wellness, Rieger helps her clients process trauma in order to find an optimal state of well-being. While her approach may seem radical, it may be the fix to addressing the increasingly dire state of mental health in the U.S.
