Our Regional Counseling Services
Physicians and health professionals face unique challenges. When you take care of your mental and emotional health, you can take better care of your patients, too. That’s why we offer six (6) complimentary counseling sessions with a licensed clinical psychologist. These psychologists are not affiliated with AdventHealth, ensuring complete confidentiality.
