A small business grant is helping Tanairy Fernandez, LMHC-D, NCC, PMH-C, ’13M.S.Ed. take the next step in expanding access to mental health care on Long Island!
As founder and clinical director of Balance Mental Health Counseling in Huntington, NY, Tanairy was awarded a $20,000 small business grant and a $5,000 TV ad spot from Optimum Media. She plans to use the funding to make her facility more accessible by adding an ADA-compliant ramp.
