Outpatient Mental Health Services Q&A

What is an outpatient mental health clinic?

An outpatient mental health clinic is a place where you can get psychiatric and counseling services in the community rather than the hospital (in-patient care).

Standard Healthcare Plus, LLC, has a highly qualified staff of psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners who provide a vast array of culturally competent and gender-sensitive services to adults.

Their outpatient care gives you the ability to deal with mental health concerns, talk through your challenges, learn coping skills, improve your life, and detox and recover from an addiction.

When should I seek help at an outpatient mental health clinic? 

Seek help when you feel overwhelmed or need help dealing with emotions, behaviors, or life in general. It’s also important to connect with a Standard Healthcare Plus, LLC, therapist if your symptoms don’t improve or you’re diagnosed with a mental health disorder.

It’s also time to consider therapy if your symptoms interfere with your ability to fulfill daily responsibilities and enjoy life.

You may need outpatient mental health care if you:

  • Feel anxious, depressed, or stressed
  • Experience trauma or grief
  • Have mood swings
  • Often feel angry
  • Struggle with substance abuse
  • Have obsessions or obsessive behaviors
  • Avoid family and friends
  • Find it difficult to pay attention
  • Have difficulty communicating
  • Can’t solve relationship problems
  • Become aggressive or abusive
  • Can’t go outside your house
  • Have a difficult time sleeping
  • Have thoughts of suicide

Many people also seek outpatient mental health care during a transition. Major changes, such as separating from your partner, moving, or losing a job, often cause overwhelming feelings. Talking with a counselor helps you move through the challenge.

What services are offered through the outpatient mental health clinic?
