~ Prioritize Your Mental Health ~

Is there a difference?

We focus on mental illness, but we also focus on your mental health and overall well-being. 

Mental health encompasses your emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It involves how a person productively functions in their daily activities. Mental illness is a mental disorder diagnosed by a professional healthcare provider and may require short or long-term treatment working with a licensed mental health provider. A person can have poor mental health without being diagnosed with a mental illness. For example, an individual may experience depression as they grieve the death of a parent. The inability to cope may negatively influence their daily functioning but may not meet the criteria for Major Depressive Disorder.

Counseling does not have to begin when challenges arrive. Counseling can be proactive and a means of self-care.
