The most common behavioral health issues Karla sees people for are post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, ADHD and/or substance use. “With substance use, it could be that someone is starting to have problems and wants to talk to a professional, or it could be a situation where a person has been in recovery and slipped back into using substances,” Karla says. “One in three people will experience a mental health issue in their lifetime.
