Yale New Haven Health Outpatient New Haven

Yale New Haven Health Outpatient Psychiatric Services - New Haven is a clinic at 425 George St. in New Haven, Connecticut, accredited by the Joint Commission. It has been part of the Yale School of Medicine's Department of Psychiatry since 1996, treating adults, adolescents, and children for mental health issues, including those with both a mental health condition together with an addiction disorder.

The center operates through referrals, which can come from primary care providers inside or outside Yale New Haven Health. Services are available in person and by telehealth. Clinicians use MyChart, an electronic health record system, so clients can review their care notes and stay in contact with the team during and after treatment.

This program, as a site within an academic health system, takes part in creating new ways to treat mental health conditions and in running clinical research. Treatment centers on conditions including anxiety, depression, grief, obsessive compulsive disorder, personality disorders, suicidality, and trauma. When alcohol or drug use occurs at the same time, a dedicated track addresses it.
