About us...
History
Self-Reflections was founded by two clinical social workers to meet the growing mental health needs. After years of directly serving the public mental health system, this is our opportunity to give back to our community. Through a holistic approach, we provide professional clinical services using the best practices and empirically proven methods. A high value is placed on confidentially and coordinating care with other providers.
