PsyCare, Inc.
PsyCare operates six conveniently located outpatient offices in Northeastern Ohio that are dedicated to assisting individuals and families to overcome difficult emotional, behavioral, mental and relationship problems. PsyCare is committed to providing the very best treatment services possible — in a comfortable setting, personalized to the client’s needs and circumstances, and delivered by highly competent and caring clinicians. Commitment to excellence is reflected by PsyCare’s “Gold Seal of Approval” awarded by The Joint Commission, requiring adherence to very high standards of care. The mission of The Joint Commission is “to continuously improve healthcare for the public, in collaboration with other stakeholders, by evaluating healthcare organizations and inspiring them to excel in providing safe and effective care of the highest quality and value.” PsyCare is the only outpatient behavioral healthcare organization in the Mahoning Valley to achieve this distinction. PsyCare was founded in 1985 by three local psychologists and, due to its hard-earned reputation for quality service, grew to its current eight offices, serving clients in Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana counties. We are a multi-disciplinary staff, consisting of well-qualified medical staff and therapists. The medical staff includes adult and child psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, and nurses. Counseling and psychotherapy services are provided by clinical psychologists, clinical social workers and licensed counselors. We also provide specialized Psychiatric Case Management (PCM) and IFAST services to Medicaid clients requiring intensive assistance.
