Start a conversation about your mental health

Caring for your mental and emotional health can help you more easily handle the stressors that can impact your overall health. If you or your child is feeling sad, overwhelmed or anxious, or struggles with substance use or addiction, start a conversation with your primary care doctor at Ascension St. John. They will listen to you and work with you on a care plan that’s right for you or your child. And if you need more advanced behavioral and mental health care, your doctor will connect you to specialists and help provide the compassionate support you need.

Our experienced doctors care for the whole you, from your physical health and well-being to your mental and emotional health. Ask your doctor if virtual visits are an option for your care. 

If you have been diagnosed with a behavioral or mental health condition, or if you need specialized care, your doctor can also connect you to mental and behavioral health services in Tulsa, Bartlesville and surrounding Oklahoma communities that are right for you. Our experienced mental health professionals diagnose, care for and treat even the most complicated psychiatric conditions, addictions and behavioral health disorders in adolescents and adults.
