Mental Health Services & Counseling Q & A

Mental health care at Southwest Family Physicians

Mental health is an essential part of your overall wellbeing, and struggling with anxiety, depression, or other behavioral health concerns is more common than many people realize. Our team is here to support you — without judgment — whether you're navigating something new or managing a long-standing condition.

When should I reach out?

You don't need to be in crisis to ask for help. If you've noticed changes in how you're feeling, thinking, or functioning day-to-day, that's enough of a reason to schedule a visit. Some signs that it may be time to connect with our team include:

  • Persistent sadness, hopelessness, or feelings of guilt
  • Excessive worry or anxiety that's hard to control
  • Extreme or unpredictable mood swings
  • Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy
  • Unexplained changes in weight, sleep, or energy
  • Difficulty managing daily responsibilities at home or work

In children and teens, mental health concerns may show up as changes in behavior, mood, or performance at school — these are equally worth addressing early.

What kind of care do you offer?

Our mental health team works alongside your primary care providers to make sure your care is connected and consistent. We offer:

  • Diagnostic evaluations to help understand what you're experiencing
  • Counseling and talk therapy for anxiety, depression, and behavioral concerns
  • Psychiatric services including assessment, diagnosis, and medication management
  • Personalized treatment plans that are adjusted as your needs change

Many people find the most effective approach combines therapy and medication — our team will work with you to find what fits your life.

What if I'm in crisis?

If you or someone you know is experiencing thoughts of suicide or self-harm, please reach out for immediate support. You can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7, or call 911 if there is immediate danger.
