Resources for Our Clients

We understand that going to counseling can be out of your comfort zone. We try to lessen your anxieties with resources that will help you understand what you can expect. At South Lane Mental Health, we offer intensive, outpatient, and recovery therapy options. This includes the possibility of Neurofeedback and EMDR therapy if appropriate. We have locations across Cottage Grove, OR, and South Lane County, so therapy is more accessible for the community. Browse the resources below and reach out with any questions or to schedule your assessment.

Crisis Resources

If you or someone you know is in imminent danger, please call 911. If you are experiencing extreme mental distress, South Lane Mental Health has walk-in and call-in crisis counseling Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 4 PM. We have trained clinicians who are available to talk with you during these times. This resource is funded through grants and community donations, so you do not need insurance to access crisis services. You may also access crisis services by going to your local hospital emergency department and asking to speak with a mental health worker.

FAQs

How do I become a client?

First, you must call us at 541-942-3939 to schedule an initial assessment with a counselor, where you will discuss your personal history and your needs. After that meeting, you will be assigned a counselor who will schedule your next appointment.

What payments do you accept?

We take all major credit cards, checks, and cash.

How to switch therapists?

We make every effort to match therapists to clients who will work well together. If a client would like a different therapist, talk to the therapist directly or call the front desk at 541-942-3939 and let them know you’d like to switch. Our Clinic Manager may ask if there’s a way to work it out with your current therapist or she will reassign you to another therapist.

Do you have a waitlist for outpatient counseling?

Unfortunately, we do have a waitlist for both youth and adult services. Our adult waitlist is moving faster and the wait time could be two weeks to one month. Our youth waitlist is moving slower and the wait time is closer to two to three months. If you are in crisis, please access our crisis services.

First 10 pages of records requested                  $30.00

*Individuals requesting a copy of their own record for purposes of reviewing care will not be denied due to inability to pay.

Do you take court mandated clients?

We do not. We offer voluntary services, and if a client is not interested in services, then we will not force them to engage.

Can a clinician make a custody evaluation or testify in court?

We have very talented youth clinicians, but none of them are trained to offer professional opinions on parenting or custody evaluations.

If a clinician is subpoenaed, the person initiating the subpoena is responsible for court appearance and testimony fees. The clinician will only testify to the accuracy of the written record.

Court appearances require the cancellation of client appointments, preparation time, and travel time. South Lane Mental Health charges $1000 per day a clinician is summoned to appear in a court proceeding, including depositions and regardless of the length of the court appearance.
