Why choose Geisinger for behavioral health outpatient care?
Mental health is a big part of your overall health. And asking for help to improve it is a sign of strength. Whatever you're working through — stress, family conflict, life changes — you deserve support in a welcoming space.
Our outpatient services include individual and group therapy, medication management and counseling, and we offer many of them in person and virtually. Here, you'll work with a team of mental health professionals to get through challenges and restore your well-being.
If you need more support than standard outpatient visits provide, but not a full hospital stay, our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers a structured alternative. It's also a good fit as a step-down option after a hospitalization.
To get started, talk with your primary care provider or a specialist about a referral. We're here when you're ready.
