Mental Health

Mental Health
At Fletcher Allen, we provide expert care for mental health disorders and issues in a compassionate, welcoming environment. Our extensive services range from outpatient counseling for children and adults to intensive partial hospitalization to inpatient care for acute mental illness to 24/7 crisis response services.

Highly trained professionals care for you and your family, developing treatment plans specifically geared to your needs. Psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric social workers, psychiatric nurses, substance abuse counselors and others diagnose, evaluate and treat mental health issues of all types and at all levels of severity.

As a university hospital, we are dedicated to educating and training medical students and residents, and pursuing discovery through research. These activities enable our caregivers to bring the latest treatments and therapies to patients, along with the potential to participate in clinical trials.  Collaborations with a number of other health systems – including the Vermont Department of Mental Health, Crisis Services of Chittenden County, and Howard Center for Human Services – allow us to meet the individual needs of patients.

We are pleased to offer care in newly renovated outpatient clinics and our state-of-the-art Inpatient Psychiatric Unit. These modern facilities provide a comfortable and supportive environment to help patients and their families heal, recover and return to their regular activities.
