The outpatient PCMC Program specializes in brief intervention services for patients who are typically referred by physicians in other medical specialties. PCMC services typically include evaluations and short-term treatment to assess mental health concerns and complications arising secondary to medical disorders or their treatment, assessment for potential organ transplantation or surgical interventions, evaluation for our chronic medical illness group, and psychopharmacological consultations in medically complex patients. Common co-morbid medical conditions include diseases such as post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), post intensive care syndrome (PICS), movement disorders, cancer, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, neurocognitive disorders and endocrine dysfunction. PCMC is now also offering brief individual psychotherapy as well as a variety of group therapy offerings.
