Mental health concerns consistently rank as some of the most common health conditions in the U.S. In fact, the CDC estimates that one in five Americans will experience a mental health condition in any given year.
Understanding that the need for compassionate mental health care is only growing, Aaron Wilson, MD, founded Clarity Behavioral Health Group in 2020 to fill the widening gap between individuals seeking care and quality care providers.
Dr. Wilson built a team of compassionate professionals who are equipped with the higher education, training and credentials for nearly every behavioral health concern facing individuals regardless of their past history. Our team includes psychiatrists and certified physician assistants (PA-C.). Specializing in psychiatry, our PAs practice medicine as a primary care provider or in collaboration with a physician and can:
-
Diagnose and treat mental health disorders
-
Counsel on diagnoses, treatments and prognosis, and provide education
-
Prescribe medication
