Looking for new services, I thought I had found a great new place. Set up my intake appointment via phone for an in person session only to have my appointment cancelled by Angela Merrimack 40 min before the appointment because I didnt already have my paperwork in (that I was working on before I left for my appointment). All communications prior stated paperwork must be turned in before appointment, which I was completing as I received the cancelation from the therapist. She does not care about the mental well being of patients, only that things are done as she wants. Go somewhere else if you

I have been dealing with anxiety my entire life but really didnt know what it was. That was until I met with Bobbi and she helped me reflect on many moments in my life that really made me realize just how long I was struggling with my anxiety. Through meditation and counseling Ive learned how to respond much better in the moment and how I could avoid some of the pitfalls Ive run into throughout my life. Caring for my mental health was never a priority for me, but it is now and I could not have made the positive changes in my life without Bobbis help and guidance. Thank you so much!

Bobbi Harding is the absolute best! She can seriously help you with anything your going thru. She doesnt just listen, she puts herself in your shoes and works with you rather then just tell you itll be okay. Her advise on how to work thru things is phenomenal. Hands down best therapist out there! I will never go to anyone else. My mental health is finally getting back on track and she is the one to thank for that!

Mental Wellness Counseling offers a wide range of whole body healing. Always warm and inviting. Never have I felt more comfortable opening up and never have I felt more heard. There was also a great consideration for time and money, I felt I had exactly the right amount of sessions to address my needs.
