The Mental Health Center of Florida (MHC Florida) was founded in an effort to integrate the mental health needs of today’s individuals with state-of-the-art care at affordable prices. At MHC Florida, our staff of nearly seventy fully credentialed therapists, offer comprehensive psychological care for a broad spectrum of mental health issues and disorders. Our office staff and clinical team are multi-lingual (English, Spanish, Hebrew, Russian and Hindi) and sensitive to the unique cultural diversity of South Florida’s residents and their needs. Our clients not only value our skills, but also value the timely, respectful and compassionate manner with which their cases are handled.

ON-SITE MENTAL HEALTH & PSYCHOLOGY IN ALF & SNF
The Treatment Team Model is our main approach to serving the needs of your specific population. Each team is led by a licensed Clinical Psychologist and may include other Psychologists, LCSWs, Neuropsychologists, Post-Doctoral fellows and Pre-Doctoral Interns. Each team will be individualized for the needs of your facility. Our teams support optimal evaluation of your residents’ needs and provide for a range of services, including individual therapy, group therapy, clinical assessments, mental status exams, and much more! The team model also promotes direct and effective communication with your staff, as well as consultation services on site and in house staff trainings as needed. In addition, the agency provides on-site psychiatric care for patients in need of psychotropic evaluation and management.  The goal is to treat the individual needs of patients in a holistic manner, taking into consideration the simultaneous employment of medical and therapeutic interventions. 

Individual psychotherapy involves discussions between the patient and a mental health professional that may focus on current and past problems, experiences, thoughts and feelings. Daily difficulties may occur in relationships, activities of daily living, and in familial relationships that are stressful and taxing to the individual and their loved ones. In sharing one’s experience with a trained therapist, patients gradually come to understand more about themselves, their problems and, as a result, develop an improved attitude toward staff and others, as well as new skills.

Group therapy is another effective type of therapy that is widely used. Individuals facing similar issues meet to discuss their own difficulties and offer support to the other members of the group. Groups also focus on skill building and help to create a positive therapeutic environment in your specific setting. Many types of groups are offered including creative art therapy, living skills, cognitive strengthening, coping skills, smoking cessation and many others. Groups can also be developed for your specific patient populations.
