New Clients
Dear New Clients,
Thank you for choosing Plains Area Mental Health Center as your mental health provider. Plains Area Mental Health Center offers same-day access (Open Access). Open Access provides individuals the opportunity to receive a full diagnostic assessment with a therapist on the same day it is requested without a scheduling delay or waitlist for an initial appointment. The full diagnostic assessment completed during Open Access will be the determinant for what services are recommended for you. New Clients or individuals interested in starting services with Plains Area Mental Health Center are encouraged to come to one of our main office locations during our open access hours to start services.
No clients will be denied access to services due to the inability to pay. We offer a discounted/sliding fee schedule available to those who qualify.
