Mental Health

• Integrative behavioral therapy to provide concrete and supportive skills in managing chronic diseases and chronic pain
• Short term (approximately 10 sessions per year) therapy around specific life stressors or specific psychological symptoms
• Case management
• Medication management
• Group therapy

Additionally, we provide assessment of substance abuse disorders and can provide some treatments for them.

First, you must be enrolled with a primary care provider at PHC. Then, your primary care provider can refer you for services in the Mental Health Department with a psychologist, therapist or psychiatrist, based on what type of approach you would like to try. If you are interested in "therapy," you can meet with a psychologist (PhD) or a therapist (LCSW) to talk about your concerns and get more support, skills or insight into the problem. If you are interested in medications, you can meet with a psychiatrist (MD) to discuss those options. Once you are seeing one type of mental health provider, you could still work with the others should that need or interest arise. All these different providers are very adept at helping you decide which type of care would be best.

The Mental Health Department office staff at (707) 559-7545 can assist in scheduling, cancelling or rescheduling.
