Life can be as relaxing and pleasant as a stroll down Oberlin's historic downtown district streets. Or, it can be as gruelling and relentless as a 20-mile hike through the deep woods. If you're struggling with mental health issues, you may have more 20 mile hike days than pleasant strolls.

Reach out to an Oberlin-area mental health professional today to get the support you need. A qualified therapist or counselor can work with you so that you have the tools you need to manage whatever is troubling you, whether it be past trauma, a recent loss, tough relationships, or mental illness.
