Individualized Outpatient Mental Health Treatment

What is Outpatient Mental Health Treatment?

Outpatient care exists on a continuum, with many people blending many options at once. Depending on the patient’s needs and progress, outpatient mental health treatment can include: individual psychotherapy, family or group counseling and/or mental health medication management.

Outpatient Mental Health Treatment Philosophy:

  • All patients have a clinician assigned as their primary clinician, who coordinates an outpatient care treatment plan with the patient and their treatment team. Most often, the team includes a psychiatrist or nurse practitioner prescribing medications and a psychologist or social worker as their therapist.
  • Therapists on the treatment team are also able to conduct family and couples therapy as needed.
  • Access to psychiatric rehabilitation services is available.
  • Lindner Center of HOPE clinicians may prescribe genetic testing for consenting patients (called GeneSightRx), with the potential to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of medications on an individual. Learn more about genetic testing here, view a brief video, or visit www.genesight.com.

Our expert clinicians draw upon years of experience to treat patients with one or more mental illnesses including, but not limited to, the following:

Child and Adolescent Outpatient Services at Lindner Center of HOPE

Mental health is an important part of overall health for children and adults. Childhood and adolescence are critical, formational years with 50% of lifetime mental health diagnoses beginning by age 14, 75% by age 24. Psychiatric illness, unfortunately, can disrupt these important stages of development, yet often go unrecognized or addressed until adulthood. For a young person with symptoms of mental illness, the earlier treatment is started, the better. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent more severe, lasting problems as a child transitions to adulthood.

Lindner Center of HOPE Professional Associates outpatient practice has a team of child and adolescent physicians and mental health practitioners that provide comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services in-person and through telehealth appointments.

Autism evaluations are available for children and teens ages 2 and older, while therapy is available for children ages 5 and older. Learn more about autism offerings.

Call 513-536-0570 to schedule.

Rapid Access Service

A barrier to the delivery of quality mental health care services is the lack of rapid access to service. Wait list times to see an outpatient psychiatrist for an initial session can exceed 12 weeks or more, leaving patients and families in need of treatment in urgent situations with few alternatives for care. Lindner Center of HOPE Professional Associates Rapid Access Services (RAS) provides the hope and prompt attention they need.

RAS is an outpatient mental health treatment service for patients 18 and older, available Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. This service enables patients to have a scheduled appointment within days of their call and quickly receive help with symptoms and concerns. The appointment includes:

  • A thorough outpatient assessment with a psychiatrist and social worker
  • A care plan
  • Recommendations with referrals
  • A written post-visit summary

When necessary, subsequent bridge appointments may also be scheduled with the psychiatrist.

Call 513-536-0570 to schedule a RAS appointment.

Substance Use & Co-Occurring Outpatient Program

Addiction is often fueled by a co-occurring mental health issue. To bring about real sobriety, underlying issues like mental health disorders must be simultaneously addressed and coping skills and strategies must be exercised to prevent relapse. The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Lindner Center of HOPE is uniquely qualified to work with patients struggling with a dual diagnosis or multiple diagnoses.

Psychological Assessment & Evaluations

The first step in treating any illness is thoroughly assessing the array of factors influencing one’s symptoms and overall prognosis. Lindner Center Professional Associates offers Diagnostic Assessments to help in the determination and differential diagnosis of psychiatric and cognitive conditions. By better understanding the components of an illness, clinicians can utilize targeted therapies and state-of-the-science treatment technology to help patients.

Outpatient Support Groups

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a well-established individual treatment for borderline personality disorder, substance abuse, binging, and other problems which include emotion dysregulation. Research shows that those who have successfully completed DBT programs are more likely to have strong interpersonal relationships, find employment, and stop having thoughts of self -harm.

DBT Support Groups

This group provides an opportunity to transform your life if you are going through a divorce. Divorce can be an opportunity to leave your old way of life and enter a new way. This group will help change the cultural paradigm of divorce, seeing it as an opportunity rather than a failure or cause for despair. It is time to change the paradigm, considering a successful marriage one which encourages growth rather than simply a long-standing one.
