UnityPoint Health - Grinnell Behavioral Health Clinic

Patients ages 12 and older attend UnityPoint Health - Grinnell Behavioral Health Clinic in Grinnell, Iowa, where they connect with psychiatric providers through telemedicine while physically attending the clinic. The outpatient practice treats anxiety, postpartum depression, trauma, acute and chronic psychiatric conditions, and substance use problems. Clinicians provide psychiatric assessments, counseling, therapy, and medication management, allowing patients to receive these services without traveling to a separate psychiatric provider's office.

Counseling and Therapy Approaches

UnityPoint Health's counseling services include individual sessions that address depression, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, and stress, alongside couples and family counseling. Its broader treatment approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR. These methods address different aspects of mental health, from thought patterns and emotional regulation to distressing memories and relationship difficulties.

Connecting Patients to Additional Care

Patients can schedule an initial assessment at the Grinnell clinic or speak with their primary care provider about seeking treatment. Clinicians evaluate psychiatric and substance use concerns to help determine appropriate care. When patients need services beyond the clinic's outpatient capabilities, such as inpatient treatment, residential care, or detox, the team connects them with area providers.
