Scottsdale Mental Health Services

Mental Health Services in Scottsdale

Navigating mental health concerns alone is incredibly challenging. Lifeline Behavioral Health has been in the business of building community and offering mental health support for over 20 years, and we want you to know you don’t have to do this alone.

Whether you’re living with an undiagnosed or untreated mental health condition, managing a particularly stressful time in your life, or searching for help for someone you love – we’re here for you. Lifeline Behavioral Health is rooted in evidence-based, individualized therapy built around each individual who comes to us.

Your journey to mental well-being is unique and valuable – and it’s only beginning.

Why Choose Lifeline Behavioral Health

We believe everyone deserves quality behavioral healthcare, and when we say that, we mean everyone. We offer care from age zero to one hundred and can treat a vast variety of mental health concerns. Nothing is too “big” or “small” at Lifeline Behavioral Health. If it’s a concern for you, it’s a concern for us, and we don’t want you to be afraid of seeking help. We pride ourselves on fostering a space free of judgment for LGBTQIA+ individuals and anyone who feels like they can’t be their true selves. Our services are tailored to you and what you need to grow and thrive.

We also realize treatment isn’t easily accessible to everyone. We bridge the gap through telehealth options, eliminating obstacles that might stand in the way of individuals in Scottsdale and all over Arizona receiving the behavioral healthcare they need.

Our Mental Health Treatment Programs

Our evidence-based programs are built to serve people from all walks of life, so we have a multitude of options available.

Counseling is Lifeline Behavioral Health’s foundation. All of our programs incorporate some degree of counseling. This includes individual counseling on countless topics, our various therapy groups, and family therapy.

We offer groups for both adults and adolescents. For adults, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), women’s wellness, men’s, substance use recovery, parenting, veterans and first responders, and health anxiety groups are available. Adolescents can attend our DBT, teen empowerment, cognitive skills, and general mental health groups.

Programming for each age group is unique, from children less than one year old to preteens, adolescents, and young adults. We recognize every stage of life comes with different experiences, and tailor treatment not only to each person but to the concerns most relevant to them as they grow. We can address trauma and ADHD in young children, and guide teens through anything from time management to suicidal ideation, all in a safe environment that supports their individuality.

If you’ve been ordered to attend counseling or classes by a court due to a recent brush with the law, Lifeline Behavioral Health can help you, too. We work closely with local courts to ensure we make the services they require available. This means we offer classes and counseling for substance use, anger management, and more.

A Look at Our Program Options

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are also available for both teens and adults alike. In our IOP, each participant will choose three of our groups, and attend those and an individual therapy session weekly. Lifeline Behavioral Health’s IOP typically lasts for four or eight weeks, but you can always continue treatment for longer if you want additional support.

Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) is the most intensive of all of our treatment options, providing rigorous, structured treatment to aid in your recovery. It involves spending most of your day at our facility, participating in various therapeutic interventions, and returning home at night. We also offer a PHP program with onsite housing. You can choose this option for any reason. We especially recommend it if returning home will interfere with your mental health journey, you want to be surrounded by a community of people striving toward the same goals as you consistently, or you would feel better with constant access to our skilled staff.

Common Mental Health Concerns We Treat at Our Mental Health Clinic

We don’t shy away from any subject. We know some people are managing immensely complex and intense mental health situations, and we’re proud to help them just as effectively as we do anyone else. Our counseling is about you and focuses on the subjects that weigh heaviest on your heart and mind. Whether that’s a divorce, depression, schizophrenia, or anything in between – Lifeline Behavioral Health is here to support you with therapy that is evidence-based and rooted in community. See below for common topics we cover in our treatment.

ADHD

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder – more commonly known as ADHD – is a behavioral health disorder that affects millions of children and adults each year. Those living with ADHD will have a more difficult time concentrating and have higher levels of impulsivity and hyperactivity. Though the condition cannot be cured, with proper therapy and medication, it can be managed. Lifeline provides all the tools needed to treat ADHD.

Substance Use Disorder & Addiction

Substance use disorder (SUD) is considered a mental health condition according to the DSM-5. Treatment for SUD can include therapy, detox, rehab stays, and support groups. We also offer intensive outpatient therapy and outpatient therapy for those managing addiction or polysubstance use. Addiction can span beyond substance use, and our team can treat many different forms, including gambling, sex, food, and more.

Aging & Health

It is inevitable that we all age, and both physical and mental health can take a toll in the process. At Lifeline Behavioral Health, we provide guided therapy to give yourself grace and understand what is going on internally. Aging is beautiful, and we empower you to see the light within.

Anger Management

Anger is a natural emotion, and it is okay to feel angry at times. But when anger starts interfering with relationships, job performance, and everyday life, it may be time to think about seeking help. Our team of caring therapists will teach you to cope with anger in healthy ways and give you a better understanding of the emotions behind it.

Anxiety

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health conditions in adolescents, young adults, and adults. The condition can manifest in different ways and each person will have different triggers. Lifeline Behavioral Health inspires our clients through therapy and coping skill development to manage their anxiety in healthy and productive ways. In some cases, medication may also be utilized for treatment.

Behavioral Health Concerns

While not every behavioral health concern signals a disorder, we work with each client to discover the causes of the negative behaviors. Whether acting out from moving to a new place or a behavioral health disorder, our team will teach you how to navigate through the process of feeling like yourself again.

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that can affect mood in drastic ways. This can include episodes of 'highs' where the person feels emotionally charged and episodes of 'lows' where symptoms of depression are noticed. Cognitive behavioral therapy in an individual and group setting has proven to treat bipolar disorder, and both are offered at Lifeline Behavioral Health.

Depression

Like anxiety, depression is a very common mental health condition affecting numerous adults and adolescents each year. Depression can range from mild to severe and can make you feel like you are losing yourself. Lifeline Behavioral Health recognizes these feelings and treats the condition with medication, therapy, and support groups.

Domestic Violence

Lifeline Behavioral Health treats domestic violence (DV) from both sides. If you are a victim of DV, our team will work with you to heal from the past trauma and develop coping skills to move forward with your life. If you are a DV offender, we offer a non-judgmental space for you to address your emotions and work to manage them in a healthy way.

Gender & Sexual Identification

Understanding your gender and sexual identification can be confusing, and when you don’t have a safe place to express your feelings, your mental health can deteriorate. At Lifeline Behavioral Health, we pride ourselves in offering a non-judgemental safe space for you to explore and express your identity. We empower you to navigate the feelings you are experiencing and understand your gender and sexuality.

Grief & Loss

Grief and loss can occur at any time, and often when we are the least prepared. Lifeline Behavioral Health provides therapy for children and adults to process the trauma of loss and cope with feelings of grief. Group therapies also provide support through hearing and expressing emotions and similar stories.

Life Changes

Therapy and mental health treatment is not just for those who have a condition. An unexpected move to a new state, job loss, relationship changes, and financial strain can cause emotional responses and mood swings. Lifeline Behavioral Health offers therapy sessions for you to express your feelings to handle life changes in a positive way.

Medication Management

The dedicated team of medical professionals at Lifeline Behavioral Health provides management over any prescription medications. These can include antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and many more. You will never have to worry about calling in refills or running out of your medication.

Mood Management

Understanding mood swings and changes can be frustrating, especially when they seem to come out of nowhere. At Lifeline Behavioral Health, we will work with you to understand what is going on and where these mood changes are coming from. Our goal is to teach you to manage your moods like a passing wave, not an uncontrollable tsunami.

Post-Divorce Challenges

After a divorce, it can seem impossible to figure out how to co-parent. Our team at Lifeline Behavioral Health offers a safe place for each parent to express their concerns without posing harm to the child(ren). This is especially important as constant fighting can cause trauma. We also work with the family as a whole to ensure everyone is on the same page moving forward.

PTSD

Those who have witnessed or experienced a traumatic event – physical/mental/emotional abuse, sudden death of a loved one, serious medical event, etc – can develop PTSD and have flashbacks or panic attacks associated with the trauma. Lifeline Behavioral Health understands how serious this condition can be, and provides extensive therapy to process, heal, and manage PTSD.

Serious Mental Illness (SMI)

Serious mental illnesses can range from anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, eating disorders, and personality disorders. In SMIs, the symptoms of the disorder have become so severe that functional impairment has occurred. However, this does not mean the condition is hopeless, and Lifeline Behavioral Health is well-equipped to handle these cases. We offer a wide range of therapies and medications that may not have been tried in the past, allowing the person to heal and feel like themselves again.

Stress

Coping with stress can be difficult, and when you feel like none of your usual reliefs are working, Lifeline Behavioral Health is here to help. Managing stress can take a toll on the body and mind, and we will work with you to develop a plan that works for you. Individual counseling can help you create a routine that allows you to live stress-free.

Trauma

When trauma is left untreated, it can grow into other mental health conditions and even manifest with physical aches and pains. Our compassionate team at Lifeline Behavioral Health specializes in addressing and healing traumas. With group and individual therapy, you will face your trauma head-on and take away the power it has over you.

Work-Life Balance

There is nothing wrong with being dedicated to your job, but when that job becomes what you eat, sleep, and do, your work-life balance is out of sync. Here at Lifeline Behavioral Health, we work with you to understand how crucial having your own time is to your mental and physical health. Creating routines, practicing self-care, and regular therapy can help you restore the balance between work and home life.

Insurance Coverage

Here at Lifeline Behavioral Health, we understand that paying for care is a number one concern. We accept many types of insurance plans, including:
