Palmyra has a rich history, beginning with the settlement of Swedish immigrants in the mid-1700s. Originally used as farm land, the small city is still largely rural after all this time. Even in a quiet rural city, there are possibilities of strife. While people today do not have the same problems as the settlers of old, they do still struggle in life.

If you are finding yourself struggling with mental illness or life in general, there is help available for you. Palmyra-area counselors are here to offer support. These licensed therapists will be able to help you tackle your struggles head on. Contact a counselor today.
