North American Mental Health Services (NAMHS) is opening a new clinic in Hollister that will provide comprehensive mental health services. Originally known as Native American Mental Health Services, the organization was founded in 2011 and began its life partnering with Native American communities, mental health agencies, private agencies, and the public sector. It has grown to become California’s largest provider of mental health services.
NAMHS will offer services including counseling, medication management, therapy and psychiatry. Its clinicians work with and treat a variety of conditions including anxiety, behavioral addictions and depression, as well as dissociative disorders, eating disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorders.
The clinic is scheduled to open mid-January, and will be located next to Hazel Hawkins Memorial Hospital at 901 Sunset Drive. According to the company’s website, “our caring professional therapists help people discover healing and lasting change in their thoughts, behaviors, personal life, relationships and profession.”
Services provided include cognitive, behavioral, solution-based, and attachment-based therapies. They offer a narrative approach, as well as psychodynamic and dialectical behavioral therapy. Online therapy is also available through HomePsych, a division of NAMHS.
NAMHS currently accepts patients with coverage from the Central California Alliance for Health, Medicare, Medi-Cal, and commercial insurance plans. The company has clinics in Eureka, Fairfield, Monterey, Redding, Salinas, Woodland, and other Northern California towns and cities.
Providers and therapists with NAMHS in the Salinas and Monterey areas will begin seeing patients starting in January. Patients can pre schedule appointments by calling, 1-888-292-8080.
