Our Mental Health Clinic
Our mental health providers can help you develop a treatment plan to address anxiety, depression, and other mental disorders to help you feel better.
Our Mental Health Clinic provides access to counseling and psychiatric services at no charge. Our volunteer counselors and psychiatrists at the clinic treat over 500 patient visits per month, which makes up nearly half of all clinic visits. With limited access to affordable and available outpatient mental health services in our community, the Clinic acts as a safety net for those who would otherwise remain untreated. Suicide rates in Utah, and specifically, Washington County, are far too high. Learn about our emergency walk-in crisis clinic (Project Open Door) for those who are in crisis and in need of immediate mental health services.
Please call us at 435-656-0022 to schedule an appointment with one of our mental health providers.
To be a patient and receive treatment at the clinic, you must meet our eligibility guidelines:
Patients must not have private insurance or government-provided insurance such as Medicaid or Medicare.
Patients must meet the financial guidelines of living 200% below the federal poverty level. View the current standards for FPL.
