Starting August 25, Glacial Ridge Health System will begin offering behavioral health services at Glenwood Medical Center. Our experienced, licensed providers offer confidential counseling for children, teens, adults, couples, and families.

Get support for anxiety, depression, stress, substance use, life changes, and more. Mental and emotional health are essential to your overall well-being—just as important as physical health.

What to Expect

Therapy is a collaborative process. During your first session, your provider will learn about your goals, concerns, and personal history. Sessions are confidential and tailored to your comfort level.

Your mental and emotional well-being plays a key role in your physical health. That’s why caring for both, together, can lead to better sleep, improved focus, stronger relationships, and greater overall well-being. We offer both short-term and ongoing support tailored to your needs.

Our mental health practitioners aim to create a safe, supportive, and focused environment for each session, tailored to your individual path forward.

🔒 Your Privacy Is Our Priority

We understand that seeking counseling in a smaller community can feel personal. That’s why we’re committed to confidentiality at every step. You’ll check in at the front desk like any other clinic visit, and your counseling records are securely stored in our electronic medical record (EMR) system.

Take the First Step Toward Better Mental Health
