You do not have to struggle with mental health challenges alone.  At Hiawatha Valley Mental Health Center, we provide support and guidance for adults through a variety of techniques.  Together we design a model of care that meets your mental health and wellbeing goals.

Hiawatha Valley Mental Health Center offers a wide range of mental health care for adults.   In addition, we offer an array of  specialized practices including;

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)  a form of psychotherapy treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders and severe mental illness.
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a therapy approach used to treat people who are experiencing posttraumatic stress symptoms.
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that can be used in treating a variety of mental illnesses.  The treatment focuses on high-risk, tough-to-treat clients.
  • • • The United Way of Goodhue, Wabasha and Pierce counties is a proud supporter of our Dialectical Behavioral Therapy program in Goodhue county.

Our expert psychiatrists and nurse practitioners help you manage your mental health, whether it is working with a therapist or taking medications and working with the psychiatry team to maintain stability of your mental wellbeing.

People seek help from a psychiatrist for many reasons. The problems can be sudden, such as a panic attack, thoughts of suicide, or hearing voices.  Or they may be more long-term, such as feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or anxiousness that never seem to lift or problems functioning, causing everyday life to feel distorted or out of control.

Hiawatha Valley Mental Health Center offers a Medication Assisted Treatment Program or MAT. MAT is a treatment program that combines FDA-approved medications, counseling and therapy to assist individuals in their recovery from opioid use disorder. HVMHC’s MAT Program uses a drug called Suboxone. Suboxone reduces overdoses and eliminates withdrawals and cravings, greatly improving safety and stability for patients undergoing this treatment option.

We support clients, 18 years old and older, in understanding their medications, how to take their medication correctly and consistently, and how to communicate their medication information with their providers.  We coordinate with county case management, pharmacies, guardians, prescribers, and more. The medication room staff members are very dedicated and skilled practitioners who have gone through additional training to learn psychotropic medications, side effects, and how to dispense medications in an appropriate manner.
