Frequently Asked Questions About Outpatient Mental Health Care

What should I expect during my first outpatient mental health visit?
During your first visit, we typically start with an intake assessment where we gather information about your mental health history, current concerns, and goals. This helps us create a treatment plan that fits your specific needs. We also explain the services we offer and what ongoing care could look like.
How do I know if outpatient care is enough for what I’m dealing with?
We assess your current symptoms, safety, and support system to help determine if outpatient care is the right level of treatment. If we believe you’d benefit from a higher level of care, we’ll discuss those options with you and guide you through next steps.
What are the biggest benefits of choosing outpatient mental health treatment?
One of the biggest benefits is flexibility—you can maintain your daily responsibilities while still receiving consistent mental health support. Outpatient care also encourages long-term progress, as we help you apply what you learn in real-life situations.
How do I prepare for an outpatient therapy session?
There’s no special preparation required. We recommend coming with an open mind and any notes or thoughts you’d like to discuss. It also helps to think about what goals or challenges you want to focus on so we can tailor the session accordingly.
Is everything I share during sessions kept confidential?
Yes, we take confidentiality very seriously. What you share in sessions stays private, except in situations where safety is at risk or where we’re legally required to share information. We always explain these limits upfront so you feel safe and informed.
Can I access other services like medication or group therapy through outpatient care?
Yes, we offer a range of services that can be included in your outpatient care plan. Depending on your needs, you may receive medication management, join therapeutic groups, or work with multiple providers as part of a coordinated treatment approach.
What if I’m not sure what kind of help I need?
That’s completely okay. We’re here to help you figure that out. During your initial intake, we’ll listen to your concerns and help identify the most helpful services for your situation. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start getting support.
