When we are talking about health, it is not just about physical health, but also about mental health. Your mental health can affect your ability to handle normal stressors and make choices.

Our mental health therapists provide short term individual therapy treatment for many common mental health concerns such as stress, anxiety, and depression for adults, youth, and children. The team also provides educational information sessions on various mental health topics.
