Caring for the Mind–Eye Connection
Mental health services by Root & Bloom Counseling
At BRIGHT Eyes, we understand that chronic eye conditions don’t just affect how you see — they affect how you feel, function, and move through daily life. Conditions like dry eye disease, chronic discomfort, fluctuating vision, or ongoing treatment plans can take a real toll on mental and emotional well-being.
That’s why we’ve partnered with an independent, licensed therapist who specializes in anxiety, depression, and executive functioning support, offering patients access to counseling within our space as part of a truly integrative approach.

Why Mental Health Matters in Chronic Eye Care
Living with a chronic health condition can be frustrating, exhausting, and isolating.
Many patients experience:
Increased anxiety or low mood related to ongoing symptoms
Difficulty with motivation, focus, or follow-through on treatment plans
Stress around managing appointments, routines, or lifestyle changes
Feeling dismissed or misunderstood by others
We believe addressing these challenges is a vital part of healing.
A Collaborative, Supportive Partnership
Our on-site therapist works independently but collaboratively, offering support for patients who may benefit from:
Managing anxiety or depression related to chronic eye disease
Building tools for executive functioning, routines, and self-care follow-through
Coping with stress, overwhelm, or emotional fatigue
Navigating the mental load of long-term health management
Private sessions take place in the same calm, welcoming environment you’ve come to expect at BRIGHT Eyes, creating continuity, comfort, and ease.
This partnership allows us to support patients more fully, by recognizing that eye health and mental health are deeply connected. While we focus on treating the physical aspects of ocular disease and visual function, mental health support can help patients feel more empowered, resilient, and supported throughout their care journey.
Our goal is not to medicalize emotions, but to provide access, understanding, and another layer of support for those who want it.
Mental health support may be a helpful addition if you:
Feel emotionally drained or overwhelmed by a chronic eye condition
Struggle to stay consistent with treatment plans or daily routines
Notice anxiety, low mood, or frustration affecting your quality of life
Want a more holistic, whole-person approach to care
Participation is always optional, confidential, and patient-led.
