Las Clinicas del Norte provides mental health services at our clinics in El Rito, Abiquiu and Ojo Caliente.  Often our clients first present to their primary medical provider complaining of physical symptoms such low energy, sleep disturbance and bodily aches and pains.  Our providers first rule out any medical causes, and then are able to identify that symptoms may be due to depression or anxiety.  It is important to understand how emotional issues can manifest physical symptoms.
