Make an Appointment with CMHS

1. Choose a counselor (optional)

You can choose to make an appointment with a specific counselor or make an appointment with the first available counselor. You can read our bios here.

Mantra Care clinician bios are not on our website but you can see Mantra Care provider bios in the Mantra Care Hub.

3. Prepare for your appointment

Before your first appointment, you will receive an email letting you know you have forms in the Portal to complete. Please keep an eye out for this email and complete all forms before your first appointment.

Plan to get to your appointment 10-15 minutes ahead of time to complete some forms that can only be completed after checking in to your appointment.
