During Mr. Wyler’s career in the field of Mental Health he has built many long-standing relationships with outside resources that can be called upon to support clientele. If you and I collectively decide that you need a higher level of care to help support you I will determine which resource is appropriate and those resources will be made available. In other cases additional resources may be added in to your continued treatment so as to improve the condition that you are in (i.e. Chronic Pain Counseling – may add in Pain Management consultation, client with a mood disorder – Psychiatric consult/assessment).
