MAM Mental Health Counseling

Mental Health Counseling

Through the counseling program at Memorial Assistance Ministries (MAM), we provide a safe place of acceptance, compassion, and non-judgment in order to deal with the issues that affect growth in each individual.

Collaboration between client and therapist is key as we join together in the struggle, change, and growth.
