Source: https://www.nami.org/learn-more/mental-health-by-the-numbers. Many people are reluctant to seek help for mental health issues, but there is a lot of help available. If you are experiencing some type of struggle with your mood, relationship, coping skills, or anything else, there are some great opportunities now to get the help you need.

"The good news is that mental health treatment is becoming much less stigmatized in our society," Dr. Michelson states. "With increased awareness, people are no longer suffering in silence, and that's a good thing," she adds. "I use evidence based and highly effective strategies to help the people I work with overcome their struggles as quickly as possible. I look for underlying causes of suffering and specifically target those during treatment. This creates a wonderful opportunity for healing and helps people get back to what matters most in life. I'm happy to offer my services now in my new location."
