Outpatient Mental Health

Treatment

Finding help for psychological and substance use disorders can seem overwhelming. Mercy helps you navigate the process, guiding you to a customized treatment plan that brings you care in a calming, compassionate environment. Mercy’s outpatient mental health treatment services let you maintain your regular schedule while receiving specialized care.  

Outpatient Psychiatry & Psychological Services

Consult your primary care doctor before seeking specialty care. Your doctor may recommend testing to rule out any medical conditions that may be causing your symptoms.

If you and your doctor determine that it’s best for you to visit a specialty clinic, Mercy offers a variety of outpatient psychiatric and psychological clinics offering a variety of outpatient mental health programs, including:

  • Group therapy
  • Individual therapy
  • Family therapy
  • Marital/couples therapy

Mercy’s care team includes psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists and counselors who provide a full range of evidence-based therapies for patients of all ages. 


Outpatient Mental Health Programs

We provide confidential consultation, diagnosis and treatment of a full range of behavioral and mental health disorders. Though a physician referral is preferred, patients can self-refer for help with issues like depression, stress, grief, family dynamics, substance use and more.

Outpatient Care Team

This fully integrated team works with your primary care physician to meet treatment goals.  Care teams include:

  • Psychiatrists – medical doctors who can diagnose conditions and prescribe medications. They help patients with medication management and coordinate with counselors who can provide talk therapy.
  • Psychologists – therapists who focus on psychotherapy and using behavioral intervention to treat emotional and mental suffering. They don’t prescribe medication, but they coordinate care with a psychiatrist if medication is needed as part of treatment.
  • Mental Health Specialists – counselors and specially educated staff who are trained to administer mental health evaluations and recommend appropriate treatment options.
