To learn more about Boynton Mental Health.

We know moving to a new country for school is a huge change, and it can be normal to feel stressed or overwhelmed. Boynton Mental Health practitioners are here to listen to you, and help you figure out how to make the most of your university experience.

All mental health care is confidential. Conversations are between you and the practitioner you are seeing. No one will know you are seeking mental health care, unless you choose to share this with someone.

Boynton Health does not see patients under 12 years of age. Please contact your insurance provider to access pediatric clinics in your area. A customer service number is listed on the back of your insurance card. They can help find the closest clinic or clinics by preference. 

Boynton Health is only open during the school week, but we can help with other options outside of our business hours to get you care. A great first step is to call the nurse line, which is available 24/7. You will be able to talk to a nurse about how you are feeling, and get advice on whether to seek care immediately, or if it’s alright to wait.
