Located just off the U.S. Highway 165 between Monroe and Alexandria, this hospital-based
outpatient clinic supports children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. The team treats anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), personality disorders, trauma, and grief through counseling and therapy.
The clinic uses evidence-based methods such as
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), grief and bereavement counseling, and mental health counseling. Children and teens engage in play therapy, sandbox play, and art therapy. Psychiatrists and therapists also provide psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and medication monitoring while referring clients to counseling and community resources when appropriate.
Therapists create a supportive setting where clients explore emotions, strengthen coping skills, and work toward stability. Offerings include dedicated counseling for youth ages 3–21, adult psychiatric services for ages 18+, and outpatient follow-up that supports individuals as they move from inpatient or
intensive outpatient care, building continuity across treatment stages.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Hardtner Medical Center Mental Health provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
