United Helpers Health Clinic Opens Tuesday

The United Helpers Mosaic Behavioral Health Clinic will open its doors to the community on Tuesday.

The clinic, located at 221 Hamilton St., will offer confidential mental health services to treat and diagnose those suffering from depression, anxiety and anger, sexual and/or physical abuse, chronic mental illness, post-traumatic stress disorder or co-occurring disorders.

"We saw a need in the county for additional mental health services," said Mosaic Administrator Michele M. Montroy. "Through the services we were already providing we found that people we were giving referrals to were having a difficult time getting into other area clinics."

The clinic, which is licensed to provide children's therapy, will also offer individual, group or family therapy, as well as psycho education, psychiatric diagnostic assessments, psychiatric medication management, care coordination, coping skills training and wellness promotion.

While walk-ins are welcome, people may also schedule an appointment by calling (315) 541-3042. Most third-party payers, insurance plans and Medicaid will be accepted.

"No one will be refused services based on their inability to pay for care," Ms. Montroy said.

The clinic will be open 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, with after hours appointments available as-needed.
