Navigating life can feel overwhelming and frustrating without support for your mental health. Conditions like depression, anxiety, and ADHD can turn even routine tasks and activities into monumental challenges in the absence of an understanding and compassionate care team. Treatment that helps you overcome these challenges can empower you to learn more about yourself and build the knowledge and skills that form a foundation for holistic mental wellness.

Dr. Blaire Heath grew up in Southern California and started doing volunteer work locally and abroad when she was in high school, including mission trips to Latin America and Africa. Her passion for helping others and health brought me to pursue the field of nutrition and pharmacy. However, following a medical mission trip to Haiti after the earthquake in 2010, she really felt a calling to pursue medicine and work more closely with patients. She loves that the field of mental health applies to the whole person: body, mind, and spirit and that overall health means not just addressing a single area of one’s life.
