What is mental health?

Mental health affects the way you feel, think, and behave. It includes your mental and emotional well-being, influencing your sense of self-worth and interactions with others. Coping with stress, anxiety, and other emotional challenges is essential to maintaining your mental health. 

At Open Door Wellness Center, the team of experienced therapists offers faith-based mental health care with an emphasis on holistic treatment.

Why is mental health care important?

Mental health directly influences your emotions and behaviors. The way you react to stress can impact your self-image, interpersonal relationships, and productivity at work or school. Mental health can also have physical effects on your body. 

Without healthy coping strategies for mental health concerns, like stress or anxiety, you can experience high blood pressure and other physical ailments. Untreated stress may even raise your risk of hypertension, heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.

Investing in your mental health offers many positive benefits, including:

• Reduces anxiety
• Boosts your mood
• Improves your self-esteem
• Enhances mental clarity
• Strengthens interpersonal relationships
• Increases productivity
• Improves your physical health

Maintaining your mental health can also help you cope with future challenges and stressors in your life.

What does faith-based counseling mean for mental health care?

Faith-based counseling takes a spiritual approach to mental health care. At Open Door Wellness Center, the team uses faith-based counseling to guide you toward a deeper sense of purpose and strengthen your connection with your spiritual side. 

Faith-based counseling aims to help you build a connection with God and develop coping strategies to manage challenges in your life. It is not a technique to convert you to a specific religion, though it may encourage you to connect or reconnect with your faith. 

Faith-based counseling is an all-inclusive form of therapy that can help guide your decisions and actions.
