Understanding the Issues

For many, stigma and misconceptions about mental health and psychological issues delays or prevents them from seeking appropriate care. We help educate and connect clients with the resources and care they need to recover and return to productive work.

How We Help

We provide treatment and assessments for common challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, traumatic brain injury, physical injuries, stress management and more. Our treatment and assessment approach uses evidence-based methods that are effective, valid and reliable. 

Funding for treatment and assessments is often supported by various agencies such as employee extended health plans, private and not-for-profit insurance companies.
