Behavioral Health Counseling

Behavioral Health

If you’ve ever experienced a mental health issue, you’re not alone.

Nearly one in five U.S. adults is living with a mental health condition, and at MedLink Georgia, we believe that caring for your mind is just as important as caring for your body.

Our licensed behavioral health therapists provide evidence-based mental health care for children, adolescents, and adults across northeast Georgia. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or stress, our providers offer a compassionate, holistic path toward wellness, meeting you where you are and helping you work toward your goals.

Our therapists work as part of an integrated care team alongside MedLink’s medical providers, so your physical and mental health are treated together. Spanish-speaking staff are available at select locations.

Behavioral health services are offered on a sliding fee scale based on income and family size. No one is turned away because of cost.

MAR- Medication Assisted Recovery

Addiction is a chronic brain disorder. It causes an intense desire for the substance and damages the abilities of different areas of the brain. But there is hope for those who struggle with substance use! Our outpatient substance use treatment program uses a multi-faceted approach including Medication-Assisted Recovery (MAR), counseling, medical treatment, and case management.

FAQ

What behavioral health services does MedLink Georgia offer?

We offer individual counseling and therapy for adults and adolescents, support for anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and stress, behavioral health screenings during primary care visits, and care coordination with your medical team.

Do I need a referral to see a behavioral health therapist at MedLink?

Yes, we do require a referral for MedLink Behavioral Health. However, unless a referral is required by your PCP, the referral can come from a variety of sources including speciality medical providers, schools, and social service agencies.

Are MedLink's behavioral health therapists licensed?

All of our therapists are masters or doctorate level providers. Most are fully licensed to work independently but some are working under the supervision of a licensed provider as they work towards independent licensure. We also at times have masters level interns who provide counseling pro bono and under supervision of a fully licensed therapist.
