Mental Health Consultation
What is a Mental Health Consultation?
A mental health consultation bridges the gap between knowledge and understanding. At Akoma Mental Health Services, we provide consultations to laypersons, offering clear, culturally informed insights into mental health. These sessions are designed to educate individuals, families, churches, and community groups about mental health diagnoses, treatment approaches, and wellness strategies, empowering them to better understand themselves or support loved ones on their journey.
For licensed therapists, Akoma offers peer consultation, creating a collaborative space to refine clinical skills and enhance professional growth. From exploring treatment modalities to mastering documentation and diagnostic impressions, these consultations provide support and guidance tailored to the needs of mental health professionals. Whether you’re seeking education or professional development, Akoma is here to guide the way.
