Mental and Physical Health Facility Opens on South Shore

A mental and physical health facility that works to improve the health and wellness of its patients announced its grand opening on Tuesday on the South Shore.

The Center for Integrative Counseling and Wellness, 62 Derby St. in Hingham, offers services ranging from traditional psychotherapy and psychiatry to holistic approaches including mindfulness meditation, yoga and nutrition counseling.

“Good physical and mental health are the foundation of everything we do in our lives,” said Dr. Barbara Green, Ph.D., co-founder of the Center for Integrative Counseling and Wellness. “Yet, often we don’t pay attention to our physical health until we are sick, and we may ignore mental health problems because of social stigma.”

Staff members include multi-disciplinary care providers such as Hallowell Centers founder and ADHD specialist, Dr. Edward Hallowell.

“At the Hallowell Center, we firmly believe in the connection between physical and mental health,” Hallowell said.

The center provides counseling for mental health issues, life transitions, substance abuse and more for individuals, families, couples and group counseling for children, adolescents and adults. It also offers attention deficit disorder evaluations, health psychology, and psychopharmacology for children, adolescents and adults.
