Navigating Mental Health with Open Door
We view mental health comprehensively, considering the person's emotional, psychological, and
social well-being.
Our program is designed to support individuals experiencing poor mental health, helping them transition to a state of well-being. Mental health challenges can impact one's ability to feel, think, act, or cope with stress, and we understand the diverse range of conditions, such as bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and schizophrenia.
Our approach to mental health services is non-stigmatized and bias-free.
We recognize the complexities of living with a chronic disease and a behavioral health issue, especially for those living with HIV. While having HIV doesn't guarantee mental health problems, various factors like disclosing your diagnosis, stigma, loss of social support, isolation, and difficulties accessing mental health services can impact your well-being.
Get Care Quickly
You don't have to wait for a scheduled visit to access behavioral health services. Speak with your case manager, peer advocate, or medical staff to schedule an appointment. Remember, you are not alone, and we are here to help you feel your best.
Your well-being is our priority.

When you come in for care at Open Door, you may undergo a mental health screening to identify issues like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance usage. Depending on the results, you might be offered services and a referral to one of our mental health providers for a more comprehensive assessment with treatment recommendations.
