     Health

Mental health has long been under-prioritized in the broader medical field, often overlooked or burdened by stigma. At Cedar Health, we are committed to changing that narrative—by creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where individuals of all backgrounds, including teens, young adults, and new mothers, can access the care they need to thrive.

​

Adolescent & Young Adult Mental Health

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, adolescent mental health was a growing concern nationwide. Since then, the crisis has only intensified. According to the latest data from the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 17% of adolescents (ages 12–17) experience at least one major depressive episode annually. Nearly 1 in 2 youth (around 50%) will experience a mental health disorder by the time they reach adulthood.

 

In Arizona, the situation is particularly urgent. The state consistently reports higher-than-average rates of teen depression and suicide, placing it among the most affected regions in the country. This is not just a public health issue—it’s a state-wide crisis.

​

At Cedar Health, we’re committed to being part of the solution. Our specialized programs for teens and young adults are designed to address the unique emotional and social challenges they face during these formative years. We create a judgment-free space where healing and long-term resilience are possible.

Maternal Mental Health: Supporting New Mothers

While our adolescent and adult programs form the core of our services, we are also deeply committed to a population often overlooked in behavioral health: peri and postpartum women.

​

The first few months after childbirth are critical. Many new mothers experience intense emotional shifts, often feeling isolated or overwhelmed. It is estimated that 70–80% of new mothers experience what is commonly known as the "baby blues". More significantly, 1 in 7 women will develop postpartum depression, a serious mental health condition that requires timely support and treatment.

​

Our maternal mental health services are designed to provide welcoming and compassionate care during this important transition, supporting both emotional well-being and family stability.

​

Our Approach: Accessible, Evidence-Based Care

At the heart of our practice is a hybrid care model that blends the benefits of in-person treatment with the flexibility of virtual support. This allows us to reach individuals across the entire state of Arizona, breaking down barriers to access and ensuring care for all is always within reach.

​

Whether you're a teenager navigating anxiety, a young adult facing depression, or a new mother experiencing postpartum challenges—we are here for you.

Our mission is simple: to create lasting impact and help individuals and families lead healthier, more connected lives. Most importantly, we strive to foster a truly inclusive space—where everyone feels safe, respected, and empowered to heal.
