Mental Wellness
You may have heard of behavioral health or mental health before, but mental wellness may be a new term to you. At Aptiva Health, we address the overall mental wellbeing of our patients. We firmly believe it is paramount to take into account the biological, psychological, and environmental aspects of your mental health. The psychological aspect of our triad approach encompasses emotions, cognitions, and behaviors. We also address mental wellness through a team approach with our medical doctors, therapists, and neuropsychologists. For this reason, we have established the Mental Wellness Department so our group cannot only address physical injuries and conditions, but also mental and psychological injuries and conditions to take a comprehensive care approach that is unmatched in the region.

Our integrated wellness approach bridges the gap between physical and mental health, providing the support and guidance you need to improve the quality of your life.
