Health psychology

Health psychologists are specifically trained to help people adjusting to changes in their health. Living with a cardiac condition can bring a variety of challenges and impact many areas of a person’s life. Dealing with changes in health can also impact the people around you. By seeking help to deal with those challenges, you are taking a positive step towards your overall wellbeing.
