Peace River Center - Wauchula Outpatient

Striving to treat their members and the individuals they serve with integrity and compassion, Peace River Center provides behavioral health services for children, teens, adults, and seniors across Florida. They provide support for people experiencing major depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, schizophrenia, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and child behavioral disorders. They also work with clients who have co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders (SUD).

Considering Individual Needs

Peace River Center’s therapists use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), child play therapy, sandplay, and parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT). Services include individual, family, and group therapy, as well as psychiatric evaluations and medication management after an assessment. Their team also specializes in infant mental health and attachment-focused therapy, allowing even very young children to access therapy.

Extending Support Beyond Therapy

Through their Care Coordination program, Peace River Center connects eligible individuals in Polk, Hardee, and Highlands counties with resources for housing, food, transportation, and supported employment. Referrals are required for this program. The center also offers telehealth appointments with therapists and psychiatric providers, along with outpatient substance use counseling for adolescents, adults, and their families.
