A full range of outpatient adult mental health services is provided through the Behavioral Health Clinic.

Mental health problems affect more than half of the U.S. population at some time during their lives and stress related to the demands of daily life affects virtually everyone. Mental and physical health are inseparable, and taking care of our mental health is one of the best ways to maintain our physical well-being.

Family, friends, faith and other natural support systems regularly help us cope with stress and stay well. At other times, the stresses of living or the existence of a mental health problem creates a need for professional diagnosis and treatment. The staff of the Behavioral Health Clinic meets that need with the professional and personalized care of psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, dietitians and other staff.
