Behavioral Health

Cedar Point Health believes in a whole health perspective. Mental health overlaps with physical well being. Often times, part of battling a chronic or acute illness is addressing any underlying behavioral health issue. Minor or major depression is common and shouldn’t be something you are ashamed of. Anxiety is common in our troubled world. We can provide you anonymous short or long term support for these and many other issues in a comfortable setting; your primary care office.
