Adults · Adolescents · Children • Three Mississippi locations, plus Psycamore@Home
Where we fit
More than weekly therapy. Less than hospitalization.
Who we help
You're not looking for a quick fix. You're looking for your life back.
People come to Psycamore close to their breaking point, or when things have progressed beyond the need for weekly appointments. We meet them there.
- If you're stressed out and running on empty.
- If you've already tried therapy and nothing is moving.
- If you're holding it together at work and falling apart at home.
- If you're scared of what happens if nothing changes.
- If you still need stability after a hospital discharge.
You don't need a diagnosis to call us. You just need solutions.
Adults
“I need to keep my job, but I can't keep going like this.”
Structured, intensive care that fits around work and family, so you can stabilize without stepping away from your life.

Adolescents
“Our teen is falling apart and we don't know where to turn.”
A level of support beyond the counselor's office, built to reach teens before a crisis becomes a hospitalization.

Why we're different
More than weekly counseling.Less than hospitalization.
Psycamore's program is built around one goal: helping people improve faster than traditional individual therapy, and without the confinement of inpatient treatment.
We take a holistic approach to mental health. We treat the underlying causes, not just the symptoms, drawing on a wide range of evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT, mindfulness training, and medication management. We focus heavily on group therapy while also offering weekly individual and family therapy.
Stabilize without sacrificing freedom
Recover while staying connected to home, family, school and work.
Faster, structured progress
Intensive, evidence-based treatment, not another weekly appointment.
Treat causes, not just symptoms
A whole-person approach across CBT, DBT, and mindfulness.
Family therapy as a focus
Weekly family and individual therapy woven through the group work.
Medication management
Psychiatrist-led medication monitoring, coordinated with your therapy.
Start here
Start with a free screening.
You don't have to know what you need before you call. A free screening is a brief, confidential conversation with someone who does this every day. We listen to what's actually going on, help you make sense of it, and tell you honestly what we think the best path forward is.
- It's free, and it takes about 30+ minutes.
- It's a conversation, not an evaluation.
- If we're not the right fit, we'll say so and point you somewhere better.
- There's no obligation to enroll in anything.
