Seeing patients at:

“So much courage rests in those who seek mental health care. Although all of us travel back and forth along the continuum of ‘mental health’ in the same way we experience our physical health, accessing mental health care can be more challenging. The truth is we all endure physical and emotional difficulties not of our choosing. Attending to and providing a safe place, seeking to understand and suspending judgement, and acceptance and motivational encouragement are a patient’s rights.”
