Services are offered for adults (ages 18 to 64). General services include:

- Individual, family and marital/couples and group psychotherapy
Services begin with a thorough diagnostic assessment by a licensed clinician followed by an appointment with a psychiatrist, if needed. Based on the findings of assessments complete by our team, patients are provided with an individualized treatment plan and may be referred for further evaluation, consultation, medication management and/or psychotherapy. These sessions may take place at the Walker Family Clinic, in other UAMS clinics or through community providers.
Our doctors work with other health-care providers, school personnel and family members as needed to coordinate recommended evaluation and treatment.
