Acerca de Dual Minds Integrative Psychiatry & Whole Person Mental Health Care

Encontrando inspiración en cada paso

En Dual Minds Integrative Psychiatry,

Entendemos los desafíos que enfrentas porque también los hemos vivido.

 

Nuestro equipo incluye enfermeras profesionales, entrenadores de transformación de vida,

enfermeras escolares y especialistas en educación que saben lo que se siente cuando es difícil encontrar apoyo y los sistemas se sienten abrumados,

y la atención de salud mental no aborda a la persona en su totalidad.
