Treatments and Services

We provide the following services to patients in the 18 areas we serve:

  • Evaluation: We evaluate and assess patients with mental health needs to help develop a treatment plan.
  • Short-term treatment: Our team can provide short-term therapy and medications within the primary care or specialty clinic, which allows you to have immediate access to appropriate treatment.
  • Referral to Psychiatry: If you need ongoing treatment, we can refer you to long-term outpatient services in the Psychiatry Department and provide ongoing support as you become established as a patient. We also have an extensive list of community resources based on insurance to assist you during long wait times.

We provide also education and training for primary and specialty care providers to increase their comfort in helping manage a patient's behavioral health needs. Psychiatric clinicians also provide consultation to determine appropriate care plans for patients with complex problems.
