General Mental HealthWe do not need to be defined by illness. The average client seen in the practice has a "comorbid" diagnosis (two or more). With a broad scope of topics successfully addressed in the practice, you will get attentive focus on every area of importance- or a referral if it needs separate specialization. See "General Experience" below.
