"Don’t die with your music still in you"
Dr. Wayne Dyer
What does mental health care look like when it’s personal?
It looks like this:
-Coffee and conversation
- Prayer and presence
- Prescriptions when needed — but always with heart
You’re not just a client here. You’re a whole human. And you’re seen.
