How do I get in for services?
Walk-in appointments are the quickest way to get started with Four County Mental Health services. We utilize a walk-in clinic style allowing you to come in, complete paperwork (takes about 20 minutes) and see a therapist that day. Walk-in appointments are available in Independence, Coffeyville and Cowley.
What should I expect on my first appointment?
You should arrive for your first appointment 20 to 30 minutes prior to the start time. Upon arrival, you will check in with the front desk receptionist, and an Intake Specialist will complete paperwork with you. The first appointment is about an hour long, during which the therapist will discuss why you are seeking mental health services and what your treatment goals are.
