Through its affiliation with Emory Brain Health Center, the facility delivers a comprehensive spectrum of outpatient and day‑program services, including intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization models tailored for all ages. Patients benefit from access to multidisciplinary, psychiatrist‑led care across specialty programs such as adult and child OCD/anxiety, maternal mental health, trauma and resilience, veterans’ mental health, and late‑life depression. The department also operates training clinics where psychiatry residents offer individual, couple, family, and group psychotherapy under faculty supervision.
