Ripley, Mississippi sits at the foothills of the spectacular Appalachian Mountains. Ripley has been the home to the First Monday Flea Market since 1893, which is still held on the first weekend of the month. The market is reminiscent of the simpler times of yesteryear where haggling and handshakes sealed the deal. Life today is more complicated and at times, it can get you down.

What’s different today is that you don’t have to stay at the bottom of a mountain of troubles. Professional mental health counselors in the Ripley area can help walk you down a pathway to feeling better.
