Mental Health

"A state of  well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities can with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community." (World Health Organization)

WIHCC offers both English and Navajo speaking counselors, and counseling.  Services include individual and family counseling, psychiatric treatment, medication management and treatment for domestic violence related issues.  Treatment for drug and alcohol abuse is NOT available at this time. 
​
Counseling is a process that allows you to talk about your experiences and feelings in order to help better understand how you relate to other people and to the world.  Much like regular exercise or a massage, counseling is a process that can benefit any person by reducing their stress level and promoting a healthier and happier life.
