Off-campus private and agency providers of mental
health and substance abuse treatment services
This listing of practitioners is provided by the SUNY Oneonta
Counseling Center, as a convenience for our students. It does
not mean that we endorse any specific practitioner, group, or
agency.
When contacting these professionals understand that many
have small offices, with no secretary and only an answering machine.
Be prepared to leave a message and they will call you back. When
you speak with the person, be prepared to say a little about the
kind of problems you have been experiencing, and ask if they work
with that kind of problem. You should ask what their fee is, and
what kinds of health insurance they will accept if you are planning
to use health insurance. It will help if you find out beforehand,
with your parent, partner, or employer, what the name of your
health insurance is, and whether there are specific procedures
you must use to get mental health or substance use treatment covered
(For example, do you need "prior approval"?). If you
do not have insurance and will need to pay for this yourself,
some practices have a "sliding fee scale" which sets
a fee based upon your income and other variables. The Otsego County
Mental Health Clinic and Catholic Charities are two agencies that
have sliding fee scales. There may be others, and some practitioners
are willing to negotiate a fee when you are paying cash and not
relying on health insurance reimbursement.
Find out how soon you can have an appointment. Also, a large
amount of research suggests that the most important variable is
the "client - therapist match", that is, finding someone
you feel you can trust, and who you feel comfortable relating
to. It may not be the first person you talk to, and that's OK.
If you want help in deciding where to start, contact the SUNY
Oneonta Counseling Center at 436-3368.
For more helpful information and tips about accessing services from community
providers, see the California Polytechnic State University Counseling Center Website or George Washington University Counseling Center Website.
