With access to the internet, it is easy for us to find many different resources for help. The hard part is, we can't always trust what we read. Please click on the link below to see a review of commonly used internet-based "symptom checkers."

Though the internet can be used as a helpful tool, it does not replace a face to face meeting with a professional. If you, a family member or friend needs to speak with someone about the potential of mental/ emotional/ substance abuse issues, please call our office at 540-772-5140.
