Approach to Mental Health Care

Dr Carey believes that good mental health care starts with listening. He takes the time to understand each person’s experiences, challenges, and strengths, creating a non-judgmental space where patients feel comfortable sharing their concerns. His approach is transparent and collaborative, ensuring that treatment plans are tailored to the individual and grounded in the latest evidence.
