PROVIDERS

Mental Health Providers for First Responders and their Families

On this page we provide access to mental health providers in Michigan.
But first, you need to know that TREATMENT WORKS and is worth the effort you and your family put into it.

Some treatment includes medications, and some treatment includes only therapy (that is, evidence-based talk therapy to address your symptoms and concerns). The treatment decision is based upon your concerns, your provider, and your preference.

For more information about other types of available treatment and overview of commonly used terms go to our main Treatment page.

Use this interactive map of Michigan to find local providers in your zone, or scroll down the list to find one that fits your needs.

Interactive Map of Mental Health Providers

All clinicians on this list have experience in working with first responders. Some of them offer telehealth options, meaning you can receive treatment within a private space at home.
