When your mental health is out of balance, you may notice changes in your behavior or mood and may even lose interest in activities you used to enjoy. If you don’t know how or where to seek help, your primary care provider (PCP) is an excellent place to start.
People often seek mental health treatment through their PCP, who may be a physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant. They can screen and treat various mental disorders, including depression and anxiety.
In most cases, your PCP can help address general mental health concerns, but there may be times when you will need to see a specialist for emotional distress or chemical dependency. Your doctor or advanced practice provider may refer you to a psychiatrist, social worker, counselor, therapist or psychologist to help manage your symptoms. Rest assured, you’ll find the help you need at one of our locations that provide mental health treatment.
Our psychiatrists, licensed psychotherapists, social workers and counselors work closely with you and your loved ones, as appropriate, to help you understand your condition, what to expect and the pathway to improved health.
