Historically, the city of Mineola in Wood County was at the heart of the timber belt. The railways going through the city contributed to its growth while farms produced a number of products like cotton, fruits and livestock. The population has remained steady at under 5,000 residents and today the city remains a shipping centre and most employment is found in manufacturing.
While the city may not be huge in terms of people, life in Mineola is nonetheless busy and an environment of railways, shipping and factories can be stressful and taking care of your mental health may take a back seat. If you suddenly find yourself feeling out of control or unable to cope with your daily routine, make sure to get in touch with a licensed therapist or counsellor as soon as possible. They can lend an ear and a helping hand and provide you with the tools you need to move forward positively.
