Health with you in Mind, Body, and Spirit.

Our mission is to improve mental health and wellness one person at a time.

Our Approach

Mental Health Matters (MHM), Inc. is a privately owned mental health practice located in Broward County, FL. Our practice operates with the reality that health is wealth, and that total health is achieved when mental health is also prioritized. Like physical health, prioritizing mental health can lead to mental wellness that moves one from surviving to thriving. MHM emphasizes the importance of mental health and wellness across the lifespan, especially for minorities and other vulnerable, underserved populations. The MHM model of care incorporates Christian, faith-based, holistic, and collaborative approaches that aim to move clients towards their specific goal(s) and resolution(s) as soon as possible.
