How do I know when to see a mental health professional?
Consider reaching out when symptoms last more than a couple of weeks, interfere with work, school, sleep or relationships, or when you feel unsafe. You do not need to wait for a crisis.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Bring a photo ID, your insurance card if you have one, a list of current medications and any records from other providers. Write down your main concerns and questions so you can discuss them.
Is what I share kept private?
Healthcare providers are required to protect your health information under federal and state law. Ask our team about our privacy practices at your first visit.
Can I bring a family member?
Yes. Many patients feel more comfortable with a trusted family member or friend present, and family support often helps treatment.
Does the clinic treat children?
Our medical professionals offer pediatric care. Call 945-297-6410 to ask about the best option for your child.
