Ohio’s Top Mental Health Provider Team
KAV Mental Health & Psychiatry’s team is comprised of experienced professionals who are dedicated to helping our patients overcome their struggles with mental health disorders. Our treatment starts with an assessment from our board-certified Psychiatrist and Mental Health Director. Each patients’ treatment plan will be implemented and adjusted by our Nurse Practitioners, who are all certified in mental health and provide flexible service based on each patients’ needs and schedule.
While medical care is administered, our Licensed Professional Counselors and Licensed Social Workers provide one-on-one and group therapy sessions to help each patient identify and address unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors. These teletherapy sessions are conducted through a HIPPA-compliant video platform, which enables our patients to access quality care and support from the comfort of their own homes. All our staff take the time to get to know each patient as an individual — and find the most effective treatment for their unique needs.
