Mental Health Support in St. George, Utah
Emotional health is part of your overall health. Talk with a provider who knows your history about how you have been feeling.
Emotional health within primary care
Stress, grief, life changes, sleep problems and low energy can affect how you feel physically and how you get through the day. Your primary care provider is a reasonable place to start that conversation.
Mental health support at Peak Medical is offered within primary care. Your provider can listen, consider physical health factors, discuss options and help coordinate with counselors or other mental health professionals when that would help.
Areas the conversation may cover
Within the clinic’s primary care scope, the conversation may cover:
- Mood and emotional well-being
- Stress and daily function
- Sleep and routines
- Evaluation and referral planning
Things you can bring up
- Ongoing stress, worry or feeling overwhelmed
- Changes in sleep, appetite or energy
- Grief, loneliness or a major life change
- How physical health conditions affect your mood
- Whether counseling or other support might help
What the conversation may involve
Your provider asks how you have been feeling, how long it has been going on and how it affects work, relationships and daily routines. They may use short questionnaires and review medications or conditions that can influence mood.
Together you can talk about next steps, which might include follow-up visits, lifestyle changes, medication discussion when appropriate, or a referral for counseling or specialty care.
Preparing for your visit
It can help to jot down what you have noticed and when, and anything you want to be sure to say. Bring a list of medications and supplements.
You are welcome to bring a trusted person if that would make the visit easier. Share only what you are comfortable sharing.
Scope and next steps
If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911. The clinic is not a crisis service.
Support is provided within primary care and is not dedicated psychotherapy or psychiatry; your provider may recommend specialty care.
