Mental Health & Social Work

All people face difficult life predicaments such as family or peer relationship conflicts, the death of a loved one, parenting issues, school or work problems, marriage/divorce and intimate relationship issues that harshly affect our lives and cause upset. The Mental Health and Social Work Department has been providing services to people who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing and Deafblind and struggling with emotional life issues since 1910.

In our private and confidential offices we meet with individuals, families, couples and groups who are having difficulty managing their concerns about depression, anxiety, stress, anger, sexuality or illness, in addition to other topics.

We work with our clients to determine their best road back to emotional well-being.

All of our therapists are fully qualified and licensed professionals with many years of experience and knowledge of specific emotional issues that Deaf, Hard of Hearing or Deafblind people face. All of our therapists are sign language fluent and sensitive to all the communication needs of our clients.
