Arrow Behavioral Health Accepting New Patients
Arrow Behavioral Health, in Warwick and Newport, Rhode Island, has grown to 20 therapists, expanding its services and capabilities to assist more individuals, couples and families on their mental health journey. “We know that many mental health providers have extensive waitlists,” says Katelyn Martins, LMHC, CCTP. “We are able to see clients quickly, establish them within our practice and offer both therapy and medication management in-house.”
Arrow Behavioral Health was founded with the intent to provide mental health services to diverse populations. Therapists at the center have worked in the mental health field in a variety of settings, such as inpatient psychiatric hospitals, therapeutic schools and private practice settings.
In addition to personal and family therapy, individuals can receive treatment to heal from trauma or to recover from substance abuse. For those ready to finalize a chapter in their life, mediation is a place to discuss possible outcomes for a divorce, separation and/or change in parenting arrangements. A neutral third party can result in a peaceful dispute resolution. Reiki is also an available option to help channel the body’s energy to restore emotional well-being.
Locations:1329 Jefferson Blvd., Warwick; 200 Tollgate Rd., Unit 103, Warwick; 117 Bellevue Ave., Unit 200B, Newport. For more information, call 401-477-9446 or visit ArrowBehavioralHealth.com. See ad on this page and Resource Guide on pages 35 and 37.
Winter Specials at It’s Your Body Symphony
It’s Your Body’s Symphony is offering three winter treatments at a discounted price through January. The first is a facial special for that hard-to-reach area, the back, which holds the central nervous system. Sometimes this area deserves special attention. Using exfoliating mitts to cleanse and slough off dead skin cells, the procedure is similar to a basic facial. Ancient healing clay is applied, followed by steaming hot towels to soften and remove the masque. The treatment is completed with toner and a luscious back massage. This headto-toe treatment will include cranium points, neck muscles and points on the feet. A one-hour session is $85.
For some additional pampering time, enjoy a 90-minute hot stone massage for $99. Stone therapy offers a deeper dimension of relaxation as the heated stones promote changes in the physiological responses from within the body.
The last special is a one-hour deep tissue massage incorporating medical massage techniques focused on the neck and upper trapezoid area. Deep tissue is primarily used for rehabilitation and gets deep into restricted tissue to break down fibers and rid toxins and calcium deposits. It often reduces and helps an injury site heal, reduces spasms, increases movement and flexibility, and improves muscle tone. This treatment costs $85.
Location: 14 Hayward St., Cranston, RI. For more information and to schedule a facial or massage, call/ text 401-464-6100. Learn more at ItsYourBodys Symphony.com. See ad on page 12 and Resource Guide on pages 36 and 38.

Involving a Pharmacist in Diabetes Care
Dinno Health’s Dr. Silky Kaur, PharmD, RPh, will lead a free, virtual educational event on diabetes care from 7 to 8 p.m., November 16, on Zoom. Kaur will focus on topics including the importance of a healthy and balanced diet in the prevention and management of diabetes, along with how to utilize and leverage a pharmacist in diabetes care. This includes services that carefully evaluate medication therapies, monitor blood glucose levels and work with other healthcare providers to provide patient-specific recommendations.
Most undiagnosed diabetes cases are Type 2, which is a lifestyle disorder that is commonly due to unhealthy eating patterns, lack of exercise and genes. Other major factors that increase the risk of Type 2 diabetes include obesity, low physical activity and, more importantly, one’s diet and a lack of diabetes awareness. Diabetes is a major cause of complications such as blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke and lower limb amputation. Becoming aware of the risk of diabetes and/or managing it is essential to preventing these complications.
The Dinno Health family of pharmacies provides exceptional care to its patients and is dedicated to offering enhanced clinical services. November is Diabetes Awareness Month and what better time to learn and increase awareness about diabetes and its management.
Cost: Free. Location: Zoom. For more information, call 978263-3901 or visit DinnoHealth.com/events. See ad on this page and Resource Guide on page 35.
