Mental health center
The Mental Health Center is a county-supported facility. We provide ongoing, comprehensive, client-centered treatment. Our treatment promotes whole-person wellness and recovery, self-efficacy, and life enhancement.
Our experienced team of professionals understands that recovery is a personal process. We work with each client to develop a tailored plan of care. The plan builds on strengths and focuses on person-specific goals. We invite participation of the client’s support system and other service providers.
We welcome those who may benefit from our flexible service model. We offer scheduled appointments as well as walk-in visits. We strive to be accessible and responsive to our clients’ needs.
