Outpatient mental health care

Outpatient programs offer flexibility, structure, monitoring and therapy needed to manage more serious mental health concerns. Licensed counselors and registered nurses lead all aspects of outpatient care in a structured, healing environment. Telehealth options are available on an as-needed basis.

Our evidence-based treatments and services provided through our outpatient mental health programs include:

• Initial assessment and individualized treatment planning
• Medication management
• Anger management skills
• Goal setting and life skills training
• Group therapy with peers who may be dealing with similar concerns
• Healthy communication and boundary-setting practice
• Help with self-awareness and self-esteem
• Social skills education
• Stress management and coping skills training

Contact us today to schedule an appointment to determine your eligibility and the level of support you need. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis and feel you may be a threat to yourself or others, go to your nearest emergency room.

Partial hospitalization

After an initial evaluation of your mental and physical health with our nurse and psychiatrist, we will create a personalized treatment plan. You will have weekly meetings with our psychiatrist to address any medication needs. In addition to group therapy, you will also have individual therapy sessions with the goal of helping you transition to ongoing therapy in the community.

Core features of our PHP include:

• Intensity — More intensive, five days a week, four hours a day
• Duration — Shorter, for two to four weeks
• Structure — Highly structured schedule focusing on coping skills and therapy groups led by licensed therapists, registered nurses and recreation therapists
• Focus — Support for those transitioning from inpatient care or as an alternative to inpatient care.
• Flexibility — Significant time commitment, limiting flexibility for work or school

Our PHP program is offered in the Family Medical Center Building on Elm Street.

Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program (MHIOP)

Our MHIOP is similar to partial hospitalization, but with less time commitment and, despite its name, a less intensive structure. We address your mental health concerns through group therapy using different methods to either help you step down from PHP or receive more care than weekly therapy provides. Our goal is to help you break free from negative thought patterns and enhance your emotional resilience.

Features that distinguish our IOP include:

• Intensity — Less intensive, three days a week for three hours a day
• Duration — Longer, six to eight weeks
• Structure — Less-structured schedule focusing on coping skills and therapy from a licensed therapist, offering more freedom to practice new skills at home
• Focus — Support for individuals who require more intensive support than weekly therapy, but not as intensive as inpatient or partial hospitalization care
• Flexibility — More flexibility in balancing work, school and family/social life

In addition to our in-person programs, we provide on-demand virtual classes on various mental health conditions. You can learn about the available treatments as well as ways to cope with grief. Easily register online and begin today.
