Founder

Deidra T. Rausch, PhD, Founder, is a highly respected leader in mental health who helped shape The Cabin into what it is today. As one of its first two providers, she played a key role in building its mission: ensuring that no one is turned away from mental health care due to financial hardship. Under her leadership, The Cabin grew from a small church-based practice into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2009—a transformation made possible by her vision, the dedication of four therapists, and a leap of faith. Over her tenure, she helped raise more than $2,000,000 to support accessible mental health care.

The Cabin has grown into a trusted mental health resource with 37 staff members, including 27 therapists, a life coach, a dietitian, and a dedicated administrative team across four locations.

After 25 years as Executive Director and clinician, she retired from The Cabin. We are deeply grateful for her leadership and the lasting impact she has had on our organization and the community.
