Yale New Haven Health Outpatient Psychiatric Services - New Haven

Set in the planned city of New Haven, Yale New Haven Health provides individualized, evidence-based, and medically-based treatments for children 5+, adolescents, and adults with mental health disorders, as well as co-occurring substance use disorders. As an affiliate of Yale School of Medicine's Department of Psychiatry, their staff lead research efforts for mental health treatments and conduct clinical trials. Yale New Haven Health provides mental health by referral, and the referrals can come from primary care at Yale or another health system. Yale does therapy in-person and virtually. The Yale New Haven Health Outpatient Psychiatric Services at 425 George Street presents clients with intensive outpatient (IOP) care. Their IOP options are a general track, a dual diagnosis track for clients with alcohol and drug addictions in addition to mental health concerns, and a track that employs dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). The DBT track works best for clients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and other personality disorders. All 3 IOP tracks meet 3 or 4 times a week for 4 hours each day. In each treatment track, Yale organizes specialized group discussions for bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, family issues, loss, and trauma. In addition to talk therapy, some biomedical and medical treatments that Yale offers are ketamine injections, esketamine injections, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Yale New Haven Health uses MyChart by Epic Systems to provide clients with care notes during and after treatment. Clients can use MyChart to keep in touch with Yale New Haven Health.
