Mental Health Therapy
Therapy is often an important aspect of mental health care. Lakeview Providers may refer to or recommend a therapy provider but are in no way affiliated with external psychiatry or therapy providers.
Therapy Options
Patients may seek therapy outside the care of their primary care provider. In that case, there are many options available. Use the provided links to explore therapy providers often recommended by Lakeview providers. Some patients are more comfortable or prefer the convenience of online therapy providers.
When exploring therapy options, Lakeview recommends considering the following:
- Does your insurance cover therapy.
- What fees may be incurred out of pocket.
- Type of therapist: clinical social workers, psychologist, psychiatrists, counselors, and psychiatric nurses.
- What are the credentials and experience of the therapist?
- Does the therapist have a specialty?
- Does the therapist have experience in diagnosing and treating the age group (for example, a child)?
Therapists and counselors may recommend the use of medication(s). Lakeview providers can prescribe and manage medications for certain mental health issues. In some cases, patients may be referred to a psychiatric provider. We encourage patients to sign up for Lakeview’s Patient Portal, as this can be a valuable tool in co-managing patient care.
