If anyone is seeking non-emergent Behavioral Health services, we have adapted to the changing needs of our environment. Telehealth capabilities are now offered for new patients. Patients can get medications, connect with their therapists and doctors regularly, and new patients are welcome. If an individual is seeking services and is looking for telehealth specifically, we can help them in determining what “platform” would work best. Additionally, we can provide services via telephone for our established patients. We help individuals by talking to them about what technology they have available, what kind of private space they have, and a time of day that would allow them to have privacy during their sessions. If you or someone you know is interested in Outpatient Behavioral Health services, please call our office at 724-832-4450.
Those experiencing a crisis, or know someone who is, can call any number below for help.
