Community Mental Health Resources
At Mentally STRONG, we teach the Mentally STRONG Method using aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients and patients identify their thoughts, feelings, choices, and behaviors. However, there are some specialties, including trauma or addiction, that the Mentally STRONG Method is not designed to handle alone. We understand the importance of accessing community resources for mental health, which is why we partner with other healthcare providers. Below is a list of local mental health resources and providers. Please discuss your options with your Mentally STRONG counselor.

“No need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer” – Viktor Frankl. Sometimes we hide our pain or get stuck on the how of life; however, starting counseling is a courageous act on the path to finding the why. My why is to help the community that I grew up in with genuine compassion for each person who is struggling. People have always felt comfortable opening up to me, and I always find ways to help my community.
