Walk-in care

For patients who need to see a licensed mental health clinician immediately, our Express care can help. Walk-in care is a convenient way for patients to get help with many mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, stress, and insomnia. Our walk-in mental health care services include physical and psychiatric evaluation, medication review and refill, care planning, referrals and more. Best of all, most people are on your way again in under two hours. 

Emergent care

Knowing you are not alone is essential when experiencing a mental health crisis. It is also important to get treatment as quickly as possible. We support people who are a threat to themselves or others, regardless of their ability to pay. We work to assess and stabilize patients so they can either go home or move to inpatient care, usually in less than 24 hours. 

Ongoing treatment and therapy

Ongoing treatment and therapy are excellent ways to learn tools and skills to cope with challenges in a healthy way. Through our Progressions care program, we offer individual and group counseling, medication management and peer support, providing care for various mental health concerns for up to 90 days. We also work closely with patients to identify challenges like housing or food insecurity, unemployment or abuse that may affect their mental health so we can connect them with community partners who can help.
