Overview

Our adult outpatient behavioral health care provides diagnostic evaluations, individual, family and group therapies, medication management, and follow-up treatment for a wide variety of behavioral and psychiatric conditions. Our compassionate team of psychiatrists, psychotherapists, Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs), social workers, and professional counselors work together to offer a comprehensive array of services and a variety of specialized treatments. Our providers also specialize in serving the needs of specific populations including the elderly, women and the LGBTQ community.
