Family Care Center, a leader in behavioral health services, is proud to announce its expansion into Arizona by opening its first clinic in Mesa. This marks a significant step toward addressing the mental health care gap in Arizona, where access to services continues to be a critical issue, particularly for adults. With this new clinic, Family Care Center aims to provide high-quality therapy, psychiatry and more to individuals of all ages, Medicare beneficiaries, military families and Veterans.
Arizona ranks 50 out of 51 in the nation for mental health care overall, according to the 2024 State of Mental Health in America report that assesses the prevalence of mental health illness and access to care across the country. Despite tremendous need, many Arizonans experience challenges finding timely care, leaving individuals and families underserved.
“We’re thrilled to bring a new option for outpatient behavioral health care to Mesa and the greater Phoenix area,” said Wayne Cavanaugh, CEO of Family Care Center. “We understand the urgency of increasing access to care, and we’re dedicated to meeting that need by reducing wait times for mental health appointments and helping patients achieve positive outcomes through our integrated care plans.”
The Mesa clinic has appointments in five days or less for children, adults and seniors, offering cutting-edge treatments with a patient-centered approach. “Our multidisciplinary team of behavioral health experts understands the unique needs of Mesa’s diverse population,” said Clinic Director Tracy Connor. “We collaborate on personalized care plans to address conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, substance abuse disorders and more.”
Family Care Center patients will have access to a wide range of services, including individual, couples, and family therapy, psychiatric care and advanced treatments like transcranial magnetic stimulation, which is highly effective for treatment-resistant depression and OCD. The clinic also accepts a wide variety of insurance plans, ensuring that mental health care is affordable.
