Our Story

The journey of Island Community Mental Health Association began not in an office, but rather in a local café where community members shared their struggles over cups of coffee. Witnessing firsthand the depth of mental health challenges people faced, our founder, a licensed psychologist, felt compelled to create a space that looked beyond conventional therapy. It’s about connection—between therapist and client, and also among clients themselves. When you walk through our doors, you’re not just entering a clinic; you’re joining a supportive family. The echoes of laughter, shared stories of courage, and the resilience of the human spirit fill our walls. Each consultation is customized based on these lived experiences. Our commitment stems from a deep understanding that vulnerability takes strength, and we’re here to guide you with compassion and empathy. Every interaction matters; that is the heartbeat of our practice.
