The Guidance Center is here when you need us.
One in five Americans lives with a diagnosable mental illness. Our skilled staff members and health care teams provide immediate access to expert mental health services in Flagstaff and throughout the region.
The Guidance Center offers a wide range of mental health services, from individual, group and family therapy, to inpatient hospitalization and outpatient treatment programs. Our 24-hour crisis stabilization unit and newly remodeled, 16-bed inpatient psychiatric hospital provide stabilization, observation and psychiatric treatment services for anyone in need.
Also, we are here when you need us for substance use issues. The Guidance Center’s inpatient and outpatient programs support our members as they make positive changes to their habits and lives. Focusing on a shared goal of building resiliency, our team of experts brings knowledge and compassion to our neighbors seeking freedom from drugs and alcohol.
The Children’s Studio at the Guidance Center offers a continuum of services for youth and families facing mental health concerns or emergencies. With board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrists and psychologists, and a team of trained support staff, our focus is on the long-term health and well-being of families. We offer applied behavior analysis, and our interventions help improve communication and social skills, or stop aggression, self-injury and tantrums.
Finally, The Guidance Center is a proud community partner. Our doors remained open through the pandemic so we could help anyone with behavioral health challenges or immediate resource needs. The Guidance Center campus also housed an Assistance Center for people impacted by last year’s wildfires, offering recovery services and emergency supplies. Partnering with others for the wellness of our communities is a priority focus for us at The Guidance Center.
When you or a loved one is working through a mental health concern, or working to improve general mental well-being, The Guidance Center is here when you need us. FBN
