Board of Directors
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
President: Dr. Dave Conant-Norville MD
David Conant-Norville M.D. D.L.F.A.P.A. D.F.A.A.C.A.P. is a psychiatric physician, double board-certified Child and Adolescent and General Psychiatry. He grew up in Portland, Oregon and attended Stanford University majoring in Human Biology. He received his medical training and psychiatric training at Oregon Health and Sciences University. Dr. Conant-Norville has had private psychiatric practices in both Pendleton and Portland. In 2001, he co-founded Mind Matters PC with the intent of building a multidisciplinary mental health clinic. For over 20 years he has led Mind Matters PC with the goal of serving the mental health needs of families with commercial health insurance, while providing psychiatric consultation to public mental health agencies. While he was treating mental illness, it became clear that our health care system does not work to improve mental health. Overwhelming information studying mental wellness promotion demonstrates its importance in improving our community mental health. Building community mental health requires an intentional effort focusing on helping all community members to learn how to improve their mental health, one family at a time. Hence, Dr. Conant-Norville has worked to establish the Mind Matters Family Center to improve the mental health of our communities with education, advocacy, and service to families and community partners. Dr Conant-Norville has a special interest in sports psychiatry and has written and lectured widely on the topic for 15 years. He consults with the U.S Antidoping Agency and PGA Tour and is especially dedicated to improving the value of youth sports participation for all youths.
Secretary: Dr. Terri Pettersen. MD
Teri Pettersen practiced as a general pediatrician at The Children’s Clinic in Portland for 26 years. An ongoing focus during her career was the support of children experiencing mental health challenges. She currently serves as the Primary Care Consultant for the Oregon Psychiatric Access Line (OPAL Program).
CPA: Shari Marshall
A fourth-generation Oregonian, Shari Marshall is a CPA with a career that has come full circle. After graduating from Oregon State University (where she met her husband of 38 years during week one!), she cut her teeth at a national auditing firm. After a five-year stint, she stepped away to focus on raising her two kids before diving back into the business world. She eventually launched her own consulting firm, acting as a "fractional CFO" for small to mid-sized companies that needed heavy-hitting financial expertise without the full-time price tag. For nearly nine years, she’s been the CFO at Mind Matters PC, working closely with the clinic's founder, Dave Conant-Norville, prior to his retirement. These days, Shari is soaking up life with her grandkids—twin boys and their little sister. While she's slowly eyeing retirement, you can usually find her traveling with friends, tending to her summer garden, or cheering on the Beavers as a lifelong OSU fan.
Dr. Henry Grass, MD
Dr Henry Grass is a retired general psychiatrist. In the Oregon psychiatric community, he is renowned for his work in advocating for the mental wellness of the medical community, often known as the “physicians’ psychiatrist.” Dr Grass is originally from Massachusetts, attended Williams College and University of Cincinnati Medical School, before venturing to Oregon for his internship at Providence Hospital and psychiatric residency at Oregon Health and Sciences University. Dr Grass practiced general psychiatry from his office at St Vincent Hospital’s medical office building for over 40 years while also serving as a clinical faculty member at OHSU in the Department of Psychiatry training new psychiatrists. Dr. Grass is eager to share his expertise in improving mental wellness in our communities.
Robin McCoy, M.D.
Robin McCoy, M.D. received her medical degree from the University of Rochester School of Medicine. She completed a residency in primary care pediatrics at the University of Utah and then completed a fellowship in Developmental Pediatrics at Oregon Health & Science University. She is currently working as a Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrician at The Children’s Program.
Lawrence (Larry) Krupa, MD
Lawrence (Larry) Krupa, MD, FAAP, grew up in Oregon and graduated from the OHSU School of Medicine. After completing his residency at Letterman General Hospital in San Francisco, he joined the U.S. Army and moved with his wife to Stuttgart, Germany. He spent the next three years there developing a lifelong love of pediatrics and travel. Larry said he was drawn to pediatrics because of the possibility of making an impactful, upstream change in people’s lives. After completing his military commitment, Dr. Krupa returned to Oregon, where he was a founder at Hillsboro Pediatric Clinic. Over the course of 30 years as his family and his primary practice grew, he found himself drawn to child behavioral health. His original training had included a focus on this specialty, and he realized he wanted to spend more time in this critical area. Larry enrolled in a fellowship training program in Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics and transitioned out of primary care. Today, Dr. Krupa practices at Mind Matters, PC, in Hillsboro or remotely via telehealth. Dr. Krupa says that the biggest transition in the past decade is the acceptance of the brain’s ability to change –neuroplasticity – a driving force behind his work. He values Positive Childhood Experiences and how experiences of connection and belonging can stimulate particular neurons to grow and multiply, and to create positive change in a child’s life. Children are less likely to be labeled as problematic, or just “born that way,” and overwhelmed families are grateful for the education and behavioral interventions.
