A few years ago, pre COVID, after hearing that individuals including close friends and family members had to wait sometimes three months or even more a year for their initial mental health appointment, Virginia set out to offer a solution.  Thankfully, since COVOD, remote online virtual mental practices have been made available, and these online practices have opened at an alarming rate since 2021.  VHAO along with our partners, have pursued that route as well as establishing local physical locations.  We have a passion for helping people with mental illnesses get those appointments much sooner.  VHAO focuses on serving mental illnesses such as depression disorders, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, personality disorders caused by PTSD and trauma. Trauma changes how one sees the world, it changes an individual's perceptions of oneself in that world. The pain caused by trauma can affect how well a person will build and maintain every relationship, celebrate successes or whether they can allow themself to feel happy.  VHAO and partners are committed to using diagnostic screening tools and evaluations, providing diagnosis and treatment education, medication management and talk therapy.
