Treatment Designed to Meet Your Needs

Our behavioral health team believes no single treatment works best for everyone. Instead, the optimal plan is one that is customized to meet your needs. For many people, the most effective approach involves a combination of counseling and medication. We provide support for both children and adults experiencing mental health concerns. Our services are offered at Margaret Mary Health, as well as our Brookville and Milan locations.

Our Services

Adult Mental Health
We believe your mental health is as essential to your well-being as your physical health. That's why our behavioral health team offers adults treatment for a range of mental and emotional health concerns, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, mood disorders and grief. We are also proud to offer specialized support programs for a variety of groups, including the elderly, parents, mothers of newborns and trauma victims.

Children's Mental Health
Whether your child has behavior problems or suffers from mental health concerns like depression, anxiety or ADHD, our professionals can help. Through individual, group and family counseling, we teach patients how to accept themselves, feel safe and manage their emotions in a healthy way. We also offer medication management and encourage children to express their feelings through a variety of non-verbal methods such as play, art and writing. Our team works closely with local schools, MMH providers and the Department of Child Services to offer these programs to children.

Group Psychotherapy:

Mind, Body and Connections

Do you suffer from anxiety, depression or other mood disorders? If your emotions negatively affect your ability to function, our Mind, Body and Connections support group may be right for you. During a typical meeting, you'll learn to:

Use problem-solving skills to cope with difficult situations
Develop a greater sense of confidence
Face your fears instead of avoiding them
Calm your mind and relax your body

By sharing your strengths and struggles with others, you'll have the chance to learn and heal through connection. Offered for anyone 18 years of age or older, this support group is held weekly on Tuesdays from 4-5:30 PM At MMH's Brookville Health Center. To learn more, call 812.933.5406.
