Outpatient Mental Health Providers

 

Outpatient Mental Health Services is a primary way of connecting with an outside therapist to provide talk therapy.  This can be done through an individual in a private practice setting or in an agency or therapeutic facility that provides a variety of therapists and services under one facility.

If you have health insurance, call the Member Benefits Phone Number on the back of your insurance card.  Ask what mental health benefits are available through your insurance carrier. Also, ask your insurance representative for a list of available therapists, counselors, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and/or other institutions which participate with your insurance plan.

If you do not have health insurance, please contact the following agencies which offer Charity Care and sliding-scales for payment.
