outpatient mental health and substance use services for adults and children. The site provides therapy, psychiatry, and school-based services through a licensed team. As part of a certified behavioral health community clinic, RMHC ensures access regardless of insurance status and offers a sliding fee scale to reduce barriers to care.
Therapists at RMHC use trauma-focused, person-centered methods supported by proven therapies like
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (
DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and trauma-focused CBT. Services also include medication management, education on how trauma affects the body, and support for behavioral health goals. Staff take a whole-person approach, often blending talk therapy with education, wellness guidance, and peer support to help individuals build skills and move toward recovery with dignity.
The Ely site strengthens care through school-linked therapy, early childhood programs, and licensed counselors trained in TF-CBT and Circle of Security. Families can access therapy right in school settings, and children benefit from early intervention. RMHC’s team includes clinical supervisors and nurse practitioners who help tailor support for developmental, emotional, and behavioral needs—making care more reachable and rooted in local partnerships.
