Mental Health

We take a holistic approach to treating anxiety and depression, addressing each person’s physical and mental wellness in an integrative approach. We focus on exploring the impact of depression and/or anxiety on overall mental health and well-being. Our clinicians identify how mental health is affecting activities of daily living, medication compliance, connection to care and social network development. We help set collaborative goals to reduce negative impact and promote mental health and wellness.

Benefits include:

• We identify early changes in mental health so that interventions can be made to quickly respond to and restore wellness.
• We empower each patient with tools to allow for self-assessment and teach awareness of seemingly small changes that can signal or trigger instability if ignored.
