Psychiatry Services
F&CS offers psychiatry services to aging adults that are also receiving services in our counseling program. Geriatric psychiatry services are provided by a member of our psychiatry team in connection with a client’s therapist and primary care physician.
Our psychiatrists work collaboratively with the clients and F&CS therapists to assess and, when needed, develop a pharmaceutical plan in response to a mental illness.
Some people benefit from medication to manage a life situation, whether it be temporary or permanent. Please consult with your F&CS therapist if you believe a psychiatric evaluation is needed.
Call today to make an appointment with a counselor at (607) 273-7494 during our hours of operation: Mon-Thu 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Fr 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Your call will be directed to an intake professional who will match you with a compatible counselor based on your assessed needs.
If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please dial 911 for immediate assistance.
Fees for service are reimbursable through Medicaid, Medicare, and private health insurance. This practice serves all patients regardless of ability to pay. Discounts for essential services are offered based on family size and income. We do so through generous support from the United Way support and private individual and corporate donations.
