• I can’t pay and don’t have insurance. Can you help me? Yes, we can help! And, we won’t turn you away because you can’t pay or don’t have insurance.
• Is there a wait list?  Yes, but the wait time is not long.  There is a 2-3 week wait list for individuals with private insurance.  For Medical Assistance or Medicare, Corsica River can accommodate appointments within 5-10 business days.
• Can I just see the doctor?  No, treatment is more effective when therapy is combined with medication. All clients will have a clinical intake conducted by a licensed behavioral health professional. If medications are needed a referral will be made to the Psychiatrist or Nurse Practitioner for Psychiatric Evaluation.  The treating behavioral health professional and Psychiatrist/Nurse Practitioner must agree that therapy is not needed for a client to only see the doctor for continued medication management.

Corsica River provides individual counseling, family counseling and marriage and couples counseling.  We have a multi-disciplinary staff that are credentialed to see children, teens, adults and geriatric populations with a wide range of needs.  Please visit our Services page for more information.
