Outpatient Counseling

Crisis Counseling

Psychiatry

At our community mental health center, outpatient counseling stands out as the service many people first consider. Our compassionate professionals offer these sessions weekly or bi-weekly. Alongside counseling, we provide a range of additional support services, including group sessions, case management, and community support.

Crisis services may be available at our office, but often, they're needed elsewhere. We maintain a 24/7, 365-day on-call schedule for crisis support. Our counselors who respond to crises meet the standards of a Mental Health Professional (MHP) as set by the Department of Human Services/Division of Mental Health and outlined in Medicaid Rule 132.

Meet Dr. Philip Woerner, a board-certified psychiatrist with over 60 years of experience, who offers mental health services to our clients and specializes in prescribing psychotropic medication as part of comprehensive treatment plans.
