It’s common to have questions or concerns about mental health. Many people feel unsure, stressed, or overwhelmed at times—and it’s okay to talk about it. Mental health affects your mood, energy, relationships, and how you handle everyday challenges, so getting support early can make a big difference.
At Peak Vista, we understand that your mental and emotional well-being are just as important as your physical health. You don’t have to figure it out on your own, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Our health care providers are here to list, guide, and support you with respect and compassion. They work with you to find the right care, whether that’s therapy, medication, or both, and they coordinate with your regular provide so your care fits your life.
Integrated psychiatry means you can get help for your mental health right where you see your regular doctor. Many people don’t know where to start when they need help for their mental health. Often, they have to wait a long time to see a specialist.
To fix this, Peak Vista brought psychiatric providers into your regular health center. This means you can get help faster and more easily. These providers work closely with your regular doctor to support your care where you already come for health needs. This helps avoid delays and makes getting mental health care less stressful.
At Peak Vista, psychiatry and therapy are part of your regular care, so your mind and body are supported in the same place. This Integrated Psychiatry approach is different from regular behavioral health care, because it’s built into your primary care clinic.
Peak Vista offers both psychiatry and therapy as part of your care:
At Peak Vista, your mental and physical health care work hand in hand. With both psychiatry and therapy available in the same place that you get your primary care, your therapist and psychiatric provider can coordinate closely with your regular doctor to give you complete, connected care.

Your doctor can treat many mental health problems. If you need more help, your doctor can connect you to the psychiatric provider or therapist on your care team.
Yes. You make the final decisions about your mental health care.
It’s important for you to stay in control of your mental health care. Your care team will give you advice and options, but you always decide what care you want. You are part of every choice. In rare cases, if someone is in danger, doctors may need to take extra steps to keep them safe.
Knowing the steps to see a psychiatric provider can help you feel more comfortable asking for help. First, talk with your regular doctor about how you feel. Together, you will decide if seeing a psychiatric provider could help.
If seeing one would help, your doctor can help you make an appointment or get advice from the psychiatric provider. You will see the psychiatric provider at your health center, often soon after your discussion. You will continue to see your regular doctor, and both providers will work together with you to support your care.

If you are not receiving primary care at one of these locations, you may still be able to access psychiatric care through the PMHNP Fellowship Clinic. This clinic provides psychiatry services to Peak Vista patients in a more traditional setting, similar to visiting a cardiology or specialty clinic.
