Psychology:
Mental health is just as important as physical health. That is why Northwood Health Center offers psychology as part of our philosophy to care for the whole person, not just one area.

The ability to physically heal properly in a timely manner relies upon mental health to allow it. Mental and emotional stress affects the body just as physical stress does. If mental and emotional stresses are present, then physical healing is not able to be fulfilled.

Common mental stress can come from and cause anxiety, depression, marital problems and post-traumatic stress. Many times people do not realize they are suffering from mental stress because it does not seem to relate to physical pain. However, once they are provided ways to eliminate this stress it is obvious of the damage that can occur.

Many patients feel that relieving this burden through psychological care has changed their lives.
