Mental Health Outpatient Services

Mental Health is a journey, not a destination.  

 
Courage, reflection, love, acceptance and inspiration 
are just some of the many stepping stones 
on your wellness path.
 

 
ARISE is here to walk alongside you. You are not alone. 

Our Outpatient Mental Health Services provide individual, family and group therapy to help adults, teens, and children build on their strengths and improve their overall quality of life. Psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and psychological assessments are available to all individuals enrolled in services. 

Mental health concerns can impact every area of your life. Our licensed clinicians use a person-centered, strengths-based approach and will work with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your individual needs and helps you achieve your goals. Treatment is designed to: 

  • Explore symptoms, stressors, and strengths 
  • Develop new coping skills 
  • Improve emotional, behavioral, and social well-being 

Throughout treatment, you are encouraged to express your needs, desired outcomes and expectations of the services delivered. 

Struggling with mental health concerns? Worried about leaving your home to attend an appointment? 

We offer telemental health intake assessments, individual and group therapy, psychiatric evaluation and medication management services. 

What Is Telemental Health? 

Telemental health means the use of real-time, audio- visual, interactive  video  conferencing  technology to provide clinical and non-clinical services 

What You Need 

For audio-only sessions, all you need is a telephone. For real-time video-conferencing, all you need is a smartphone or a device with internet and video access.  It takes less than three minutes to download the video conferencing app and start your  telemental health session! 

Easy Access 

The telemental health service available to you through ARISE will give you an appointment with a clinician and prescriber, via secure, protected and interactive audio-video technology, outside the four walls of our clinic. You will be able to speak in real time with your practitioner during your appointment just as you would in person at the clinic. 

Is Telemental Health Safe? 

Our telemental health technology is safe, secure, encrypted and functions within the same state and federal privacy guidelines (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act / HIPAA) as traditional, in-person appointments.
