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.
Why This Matters: Feeling unsure or overwhelmed is common, and you do not have to handle it by yourself. Knowing that support is available can make it easier to speak up, ask for help, and get the care you need to feel better.

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.
Why This Matters: You stay in control of all your choices. Your care team guides you, but you decide what works best for your life and goals.
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.
Why This Matters: Knowing the steps helps you feel comfortable and confident asking for support. Your doctor and psychiatric provider work together so your care feels smooth and coordinated.
Integrated Psychiatry is available at the following four Peak Vista health centers, all of which are open Monday - Friday, from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm.
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 Health Center(opens in a new tab). This health center provides psychiatry services to Peak Vista patients in a more traditional setting, similar to visiting a cardiology or specialty health center.
Why This Matters: Seeing where services are offered helps you plan your care. If your home clinic does not have Integrated Psychiatry, you still have options through the PMHNP Fellowship Health Center.
