Here is a brief overview of some common mental health issues that Onepsych Psychology Services deal with. Substance abuse may be the main problem or it may be secondary to other issues for example relationship problems, depression, job stress or illness. Often clients need to work on controlling cues for drinking, managing the urge and relapse prevention.
