Find Health Care

This program places mental health counselors at primary care practitioner’s offices, which gives patients at those offices convenient access to trained mental health counselors at the same time you see your doctor.

Reaching Mental Health is presently located in six sites in Greene County.  Additional sites will be available over the next few months.  Ultimately, Reaching Mental Health will be available throughout the County.

Mental Health Screen.  In each of the offices, a brief depression/anxiety screen is provided to you on your yearly visit or upon request when you visit your doctor.  This screen will help determine whether you need a mental health assessment and follow-up counseling.

Assessment and Counseling:  If the mental health screen indicates you may need counseling, then an appointment  can be made with the mental health worker to conduct an assessment , which will help determine the nature of your mental health needs.  Appointments for assessment and counseling with a mental health professional can be made through your doctor’s office for the day the mental health professional is there—see table below. Arrangements can be made for counseling right in the doctor’s office building.   Ask your doctor if you have any questions or feel an urgent need to speak to someone about a mental health issue.
