Formerly Heroes & Helpers Mental Health
IT’S TIME THAT YOU HAD A DEDICATED SPACE TO TALK.
HEALTHCARE. FIRST RESPONDERS. EDUCATORS. VETERANS
let’s be honest:
You’ve been carrying a lot for a long time.
Maybe you’ve told yourself that you’re fine. Maybe you’ve been the strong one - the steady one - the one everyone else relies on. But underneath the strength, you’re tired. Overwhelmed. Disconnected. Maybe you just don’t feel like yourself anymore. You’re tired of feeling like no one understands what you’ve been through. You’re tired of feeling disgusted, exhausted, and angry.
You have come to the right place.
At Kentala Behavioral Health, we serve healthcare workers, first responders, educators, and veterans.
We help adults (18+) navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, healthy boundaries, and communication.
This is a space where you don’t have to perform. It is a space where you can cry, vent, question, unravel - and still feel supported.
You HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE.
We offer both in-office and telehealth sessions.
Virtual therapy can be deeply effective when treated intentionally. We encourage clients to approach online sessions with the same care as in-person work - find privacy, arrive a few minutes early, and give yourself the space to settle. All you need is a quiet space and a reliable internet connection.
This is your session. We want to serve YOU.
We’re here to support you with…
Depression
Anxiety
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Healthy Boundaries
Communication
Our Commitment to You…
We are a group of TRAUMA INFORMED therapists. We come to this work without judgement. We listen with empathy and an understanding that no one moves through life - especially those who serve others - untouched by hardship.
Growth doesn’t mean becoming someone new. It means releasing what no longer serves you and stepping more fully into who you already are.
If you’re ready to start, we’re here to listen.
