Committed to Supporting Mental Health
At Pocahontas Community Hospital, we are committed to supporting the mental health and well-being of our community by providing accessible, compassionate, and high-quality care. Our mental health team offers a range of services to meet the diverse needs of individuals across all age groups, right here in our rural community.
Mental Health Services
- Psychiatric and Psychological Evaluations
- Counseling and Psychotherapy
- Medication Management
- Mental Health Consultations
Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, or more complex mental health concerns, our experienced providers are here to help. We understand the importance of accessible mental health care—especially in rural areas where services can be limited. That’s why Pocahontas Community Hospital prioritizes offering comprehensive and personalized mental health support close to home. If you or a loved one are in need of medication management, counseling, or an evaluation, we’re here to walk alongside you on your path to mental wellness.
Medication Management
For many individuals, managing a mental health condition may include the use of medications. Medication management involves evaluating, prescribing, and monitoring psychiatric medications as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Whether you are starting medication for the first time, adjusting a current prescription, or seeking guidance on options, Pocahontas Community Hospital provides compassionate, individualized medication management services.
These services are available every Tuesday and Friday with Jamey Gregersen, ARNP, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who serves patients of all ages.
Therapy Services
Therapy, or counseling, provides a safe and supportive environment to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with a trained mental health professional. It can be helpful for individuals navigating challenges such as grief, trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
At Pocahontas Community Hospital, we offer individual therapy sessions for adolescents and adults to help manage emotional challenges, build healthy coping strategies, and support long-term mental well-being.
Therapy sessions are available every Wednesday and Thursday with Kurt T. Volkert, LMHC, a licensed mental health counselor with over 30 years of experience.
