As you might expect, Ironwood was initially known for its production of iron. Now people flock to the city for the various downhill ski resorts and cross-country skiing destinations. There’s certainly no shortage of snow in this Michigan town to take advantage of the slopes.

Do you feel that you are taking advantage of all that’s available in your life? Sometimes our daily stress and struggles keep us from “seeing the forest through the trees.” This is where meeting with a mental health therapist can be particularly helpful. This trained professional can work through any issues you want to address and give you the perspective to see the bigger picture. Consider if this type of relationship would be something you might want to look into.
