Mental Health Services
Are you or a loved one suffering with symptoms of a mental illness? We can give you tips to help improve your mental health every-day! With some work and possibly some medication we can help you regain your life.
For Children: NEW PROGRAM!!!
Our outpatient mental health program treats children ages 5-12. The family and the treatment team work very closely together because we believe family is a key factor in treatment. This program is designed for short attention spans combined with brief and structured therapy sessions.
It is easy for parents to identify a child’s physical needs–nutritious and balanced meals; adequate shelter and clothing; sufficient rest and physical activity; immunizations; and a healthy living environment. However, a child’s mental and emotional needs may not be as obvious. Good mental health allows children to think clearly, develop socially, learn new skills, build self-esteem, and develop a positive mental outlook. Let us help you improve your child's mental health.
Did you know?
Five to 9 percent of children in the United States have a serious emotional disturbance. (USSG, 1999)
About 4.1 percent of school-age children have attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. (NIMH, 1999)
Early-childhood trauma can lead to memory problems and mental and cognitive declines later in life because early emotional stress can lead to a slow decline in neuron communication within the brain, particularly in the region associated with learning and memory recall. (JN, 2005)
For Adolescents:
Our outpatient mental health program treats adolescents ages 12-17. We treat all mental health issues and believe family is a key factor in treatment of the patient. The family and the treatment team work very closely together. Often parents have difficuly understanding what is "normal" teenage moodiness and what behaviors/syptoms need professional involvment. We can help you identify this in our free 30 minute initial consultation with a therapist.

Depression causes people to lose pleasure from daily life, can complicate other medical conditions, and can even be serious enough to lead to suicide (MHA, 2011).
