At least 1 in 5 Americans experience mental health challenges—and that number continues to rise. At Stepping Stone Medical and Psychiatry, we want you to know this: you are not alone, and your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Our compassionate team, led by Dr. Philip Ofori-Yentumi, DNP, PMHNP, MS and Juliana Abigail Badu, APRN, FNP-C, provides personalized care both in our West Chester office and through secure telehealth across Ohio.  Whether you’re living with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or other concerns, we take the time to understand your experience and create a treatment plan that supports your long-term wellness. Walk-ins are welcome, and we also offer flexible scheduling Monday through Saturday. You can call or book online today to take your first step toward healing.

How Common Are Mental Health Problems?
 
Mental health concerns affect people of every age, background, and lifestyle. Conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder are now impacting children, teens, adults, and older adults in greater numbers than ever before. While feeling sad or stressed is part of life, persistent emotional struggles that disrupt your ability to function may indicate a deeper issue. If you're struggling, help is available—and effective treatment can restore your joy, peace, and confidence.
 
When Should I Be Concerned About My Mental Health?
 
It’s not always easy to recognize the difference between everyday emotions and a serious mental health condition. You may want to seek help if you're experiencing:
 

  • Loss of interest in the things you once enjoyed

  • Persistent anxiety or nervousness, even without a clear cause

  • Intense or unpredictable emotional reactions

  • Feelings of guilt, hopelessness, or worthlessness

  • Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much

  • Changes in appetite or significant weight gain/loss

  • Social withdrawal or avoiding loved ones

  • Frequent crying or emotional numbness

  • Excessive fear, dread, or obsessive thoughts

  • Low energy, fatigue, or difficulty focusing

  • Risky behaviors such as substance use

  • Mood swings—from emotional highs to deep lows

  • Thoughts of death or self-harm


If you’ve noticed these symptoms in yourself or someone you love, reaching out for care can make a life-changing difference.

What Can I Expect from Mental Health Care at Stepping Stones?
 
Your care is tailored to you—no two treatment plans are the same, because no two people are the same. We offer a supportive, judgment-free space where we listen, evaluate, and build a plan that supports your whole self. This may include:

Psychotherapy (Talk Therapy)
 
We help you uncover the root causes of your emotional struggles, recognize harmful thought patterns, and develop healthier coping tools. Therapy may be short-term or ongoing, depending on your needs.

Medication Management
 
In some cases, medication can help stabilize mood, reduce symptoms, and support overall mental functioning. We monitor your progress closely, making adjustments to ensure the best results with minimal side effects.

Whether you're facing new symptoms or have been dealing with mental health concerns for years, you don’t have to do it alone.

Whether you're experiencing anxiety, mood swings, stress, or emotional exhaustion, our team is here to listen, support, and guide you toward lasting wellness.
