Our practice prides itself in seeing patients within 24 to 48 hours of their phone call. We offer evening and weekend appointments and work as a team to ensure all your outpatient needs are met. As a multi-disciplinary facility, we are able to offer our patients the comfort of having their therapy and psychiatric medication management services in the same office. Your providers work together to determine the most effective treatment plan, tailored to you. Our mission is to provide compassionate, competent, and evidence-based care to individuals with mental health and addiction recovery problems so that they can pursue a life worth living.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs)

The Intensive Outpatient Programs at PBHS offer group therapy in a safe, supportive, and validating environment. We currently have 6 groups: Adult Mental Health, which runs Monday, Wednesday and Fridays at either a daytime or evening slot, to accommodate all schedules. Our Adult Dual Diagnosis IOP, which is tailored for those struggling with addiction and mental health concerns. Our MBSR group is for those suffering with chronic pain/illness, stress and anxiety and heavily incorporates mindfulness and mediation strategies. And lastly, we offer two groups for adolescents (ages 13-17). One group focuses on addiction and relapse prevention and the other is specialized in teens struggling with depression, anxiety, stress and negative thoughts. Every group meet 3 times per week and typically patients receive 24 sessions. Group is rolling entry so you will never have to wait to start. Our staff is trained on DBT by Dr. Afsarifard, who directly studied under the creator of this treatment, Dr. Marsha Linehan. Our insurance department will learn all about your specific plan and how your services are covered. You will never have to call an insurance company.

Psychological Assessments/Testing

A neuropsychological assessment is appropriate whenever one of your care providers would like clarification of potential symptoms associated with thinking or brain functioning. An assessment may also be appropriate if you feel you or a loved one may be cognitively declining or perhaps feel you may have an attention deficit disorder. This service focuses on assessing brain functioning. You'll work with our licensed Neuropsychologist who will help you and your care providers by characterizing cognitive abilities, providing treatment recommendations, and assisting with diagnosis when necessary. Dr. Ryan Mekota specializes in providing neuropsychological services to teen, adult and geriatric populations. Individuals with known or suspected neurological, medical and psychiatric conditions are referred to Dr. Mekota for comprehensive cognitive and psychological assessments. He specializes in evaluating and developing treatment plans for individuals presenting with dementia or memory complaints, attention deficits, head injuries, possible cerebrovascular changes, and neurodegenerative disorders. Dr. Mekota is currently the only neuropsychologist within Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula counties and offers assessments Tuesdays through Saturdays to accommodate all schedules.
