I'm here to help you, with your next important steps. You are about to take back control of your mental health. One of the biggest fears is the medication aspect & that's the part that I specialize in. A lot of times mental health medications carry stigmas. They shouldn't, being that hypertension & diabetic medications don't carry those same stigmas. Get this: Your mental health is just as important as your physical health.

Are you frustrated, discouraged and overwhelmed with all the choices and options you have for getting help? It can be discouraging when you feel like you've bounced around to different doctors and therapists and never experienced true relief for your symptoms. You don't want to deal with the hassle of multiple locations, multiple providers, and trying to get them to communicate about YOUR best treatment. You just want to get help for your issues, not field a bunch of different doctors offices. This is a common frustration in mental health treatment- you as the client don't get the best support because its spread out, not localized.
