Mental Health Care for Duluth's Diverse Community

From the bustling Pleasant Hill Road corridor with its incredible Korean and Asian restaurants to the entertainment hub around Gas South Arena (formerly Infinite Energy Center), Duluth residents live fast-paced lives that can take a toll on mental health.
Whether you're shopping at Sugarloaf Mills, catching a concert at Gas South Arena, or commuting to Atlanta's tech corridor, the pressures of modern life in Duluth are real. Our practice is just a 15-minute drive down Lawrenceville Highway—close enough for a lunch-hour appointment, yet far enough to feel like a peaceful escape.
