Behavioral Health Services

Get help for mental health and substance use

We provide mental health and substance use services for young adults. Our treatment is trauma-informed. That means we understand past trauma and how it can affect your health. We utilize a harm reduction approach to teach ways to reduce negative health consequences associated with substance use and risky behaviors that don’t require abstinence.

We offer two forms of Behavioral Health services, including outpatient counseling and Assertive Community Treatment (ACT).

If you’d like to receive either of these services, please fill out our referral form here.
