Aurora expands behavioral health clinic in Fox Point

Fox Point – Driven by an increased demand for mental health services in the community, Aurora Psychiatric Hospital has opened a new clinic in Fox Point to provide care for people struggling with mental health and substance abuse issues.

The new clinic opened Monday, Oct. 10, on the second floor above the existing Aurora Behavioral Health Services clinic, which is inside the Adelman Travel Group building at 6980 N. Port Washington Road. The new clinic provides both partial-hospitalization and intensive outpatient mental health programs for patients. The current clinic serves patients primarily through group and individual therapy programs.

"The expansion of the Aurora Behavioral Health Services clinic on Port Washington Road is designed to increase access for care in this community," said Pete Carlson, president of Aurora Behavioral Health Services. "There is an increasing demand for mental health services in our community, and by providing more access to care, we can help more people regain their independence and live full, rewarding lives."

The revamped clinic includes the build-out of about 8,200 square feet of space for both the hospital-based and outpatient programs. It will be staffed by an estimated 15 physicians, counselors and other staff across both programs, and is projected to provide care for some 400 patients annually.
