Our Roots
Sandalwood Mental Health, PLLC, is a nursing-based psychiatric/mental health practice founded in 2023 with the intention of providing a safe and comfortable environment for people to seek non-judgmental support for their mental health.
The sandalwood tree has been utilized for centuries for its natural healing properties for medical ailments of the body and for its positive effects on the mind and spirit.

Here at Sandalwood Mental Health, PLLC, we believe that each person possesses an inner wisdom and knowledge we need to re-discover by treating the body, mind, and spirit. We believe in compassionate, holistic, person-centered care.
