Many individuals seek help from a mental health professional for depression, which is one of the most common reasons for initiating treatment. However, mental health services address a wide range of concerns beyond depression.
We provide support and treatment for various mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, ADHD, chemical dependency, and personality disorders.
In addition to clinical diagnoses, many individuals also seek therapy for help with life challenges and interpersonal issues, such as relationship and marriage problems, grief and loss, stress management, family conflict, workplace difficulties, major life transitions, and self-esteem concerns.
No issue is too small — if you’re struggling emotionally, mentally, or behaviorally, a mental health professional can help provide support, tools, and strategies for healing and growth.

If individuals have no direct first-hand experience with mental health treatment, their view is often clouded by a stigma of chronic mental illness.
The reality is that as much as 20-30 percent of the population has some type of mood or anxiety disorders, major depression, bipolar disorder, and generalized anxiety and panic.
These illnesses are no longer shrouded in mystery of diagnostic uncertainty but represent biological and hereditary medical conditions that can be effectively treated and managed with a combination of medication and therapy.
In addition, a treatment of mental health problems is generally all-encompassing and includes attention to not only medication and interpersonal difficulties, but diet, sleep, lifestyle changes, and needs close contact with other medical problems to overall to integrate treatment and improve one’s health.
