Comprehensive Mental Health Services

At Hillsboro Urgent Care, we believe that mental and emotional health is just as important as physical well-being. Our mental health services are designed to support individuals facing a wide range of emotional and psychiatric concerns, from anxiety and depression to trauma, grief, and stress-related disorders. With convenient access to psychiatric evaluations, therapy, medication management, and telepsychiatry, our team ensures patients receive personalized, compassionate care when they need it most. Whether you’re seeking clarity, coping support, or a long-term treatment plan, we’re here to help you move forward with confidence and support.

Psychiatric Evaluation

The first step to effective mental health care is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. This diagnostic session allows a licensed provider to assess your current symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, and overall mental wellness.

A psychiatric evaluation typically includes:

  • Review of current emotional and behavioral symptoms
  • Past treatment and medication history
  • Family mental health background
  • Substance use assessment
  • Social and occupational functioning

This process helps uncover underlying mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. Following the evaluation, a tailored treatment plan is created, which may include therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, or referrals to other professionals.

Evaluations are conducted in a supportive, non-judgmental environment, with time allotted to answer your questions and ensure you feel heard and understood.

Psychotherapy (Talk Therapy)

Therapy is a collaborative, goal-oriented process that helps individuals work through emotional difficulties, manage symptoms, and build healthier coping strategies. At Hillsboro Urgent Care, we offer evidence-based psychotherapy for individuals dealing with:

  • Depression and low mood
  • Anxiety and panic attacks
  • Grief and loss
  • Chronic stress
  • Trauma and PTSD
  • Life transitions or relationship issues

Therapy sessions are customized based on individual goals and may draw from approaches such as:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps reshape negative thought patterns to improve emotional regulation and behavior.
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Builds skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
  • Psychodynamic Therapy: Explores past experiences and subconscious patterns that impact current mental health.
  • Trauma-Informed Therapy: Supports recovery from traumatic experiences in a safe, empowering space.

Whether you’re looking for short-term symptom relief or long-term personal growth, our providers offer guidance with compassion and clinical expertise.

Medication Management

For some individuals, psychiatric medication is an essential part of stabilizing and improving mental health. Our providers approach medication with care and intentionality—prescribing the most appropriate treatment at the lowest effective dose and continuously monitoring your progress.

Medication management includes:

  • Initial prescribing after evaluation
  • Ongoing follow-up visits to assess effectiveness and side effects
  • Adjustments to dosage or type of medication when needed
  • Education on risks, benefits, and options
  • Collaborative decision-making throughout the treatment process

We work to ensure that medications support—not override—your emotional well-being. Follow-ups are thorough and designed to check in not just on symptoms but on how you’re functioning day-to-day.

Telepsychiatry Services

We understand that life can be busy, unpredictable, or complicated by mobility and transportation challenges. That’s why we offer full mental health services via secure telepsychiatry. Using a HIPAA-compliant video platform, patients can access care from the comfort of home.

Telepsychiatry is available for:

  • Psychiatric evaluations
  • Therapy sessions
  • Medication follow-ups

These virtual visits maintain the same high standard of care as in-person sessions and are ideal for those managing anxiety, chronic illness, or hectic schedules. All you need is a stable internet connection and a private space to speak comfortably.

Conditions We Commonly Address

Our mental health services are designed to treat a wide range of emotional and psychological conditions, including:

  • Anxiety disorders
  • Depression and mood disorders
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Adjustment disorders
  • Panic attacks
  • Sleep difficulties
  • Grief and bereavement
  • Attention-related concerns

Every patient receives personalized care with the understanding that no two mental health journeys are alike.

The Benefits of Seeking Mental Health Care

Timely access to mental health services can lead to:

  • Better emotional regulation
  • Stronger coping mechanisms
  • Reduced symptom severity
  • Improved relationships and social functioning
  • Enhanced clarity and decision-making
  • Greater resilience in stressful situations

Whether you’re facing a specific issue or just don’t feel like yourself, seeking support is a sign of strength—not weakness.
