www.mhatriangle.org Directory of Mental Health Services - Orange, Person &
Chatham Counties
April, 2015
This Directory was produced by Mental Health America of the Triangle and is an
updated version of the Directory of Mental Health Services for Orange, Person and
Chatham Counties that was originally produced in 2011 by the Mental Health and
Substance Abuse Committee of Healthy Carolinians of Orange County.
The Directory is intended to increase knowledge and access to available mental health
services in the Orange, Person, and Chatham areas. It includes general information
about state and county mental health services including emergency and crisis services,
governmental and non-governmental agencies that provide advocacy, support and
referral services, and other resources such as support groups and school mental health
support services.
This Directory does not include a listing of all private providers in Orange, Person, and
Chatham Counties, but does provide information for how to search for and access
providers who are in private practice. This Directory does list some of the larger mental
health clinics/organizations that provide psychotherapy, psychiatric treatment, and/or
community support/assertive community treatment teams. Mental Health America of the
Triangle does not endorse any specific provider.
The Directory is a living document. The most updated and current information about
mental health services can be found by visiting Mental Health America of the Triangle’s
website at www.mhatriangle.org. We would like to thank the mental health professionals
listed in the directory who have dedicated their careers to helping improve the mental
health of community members. We hope that users of this directory find it helpful and
easy to use and we welcome your feedback.
Sincerely,

INFORMATION TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A PROVIDER
The client-provider relationship is a key ingredient of successful treatment. Here are
some of the topics you may wish to consider when selecting a mental health provider.
Credentials: academic qualifications and licensure of the provider. See page 67 for a
guide to common credentials in North Carolina.
Experience: the length of time the person has been in practice, types of client served
(for example, children, adolescents, etc.), and areas of specialty (for example, major
illness, divorce, eating disorders, etc.).
Treatment Procedures: the length and frequency of sessions, medication information,
emergency arrangements, expected duration of treatment.
Note: If after a reasonable length of time, you feel that a rapport has not been
established between you and your therapist, you may consider changing practitioners.
Office Procedures: office hours, notification of cancellation of appointments, “after
hours” availability.
Financial Arrangements: fees, insurance coverage, special payment considerations.
Below are potential questions to ask yourself when seeking help:
Am I interested in individual, group, couples or family services? Short or long-term
services? Do I want my therapist to have expertise in a particular subject or modality, or
working with a particular population? Do I want my therapist to be a particular gender?
Why am I seeking treatment? What are my goals for treatment? How much time do I
want to invest in this process? When?
Below are potential questions to ask a provider when seeking help:
What type of training have you received? How long have you been in practice? What
type of license, certification(s) or credential(s) do you hold? Do you have a specialty?
How would we work together? How long will it take? What are your policies around
payment, insurance and other financial arrangements? Do you accept my private
insurance, Medicare or Medicaid? Are appointments available during times that fit my
schedule?
