“Wellness encompasses a healthy body, a sound mind and a tranquil spirit. Enjoy the journey as you strive for wellness.” – Laurette Gagnon Beaulieu. You have struggled with depression and anxiety for far too long. Perhaps, you are taking psychiatric medication but the depression and anxiety still manage to creep in and increase throughout your day-to-day routine. You long for a provider that will actually take time to hear you out instead of pushing you out of the door with a prescription in hand.
