About Shasta County Mental Health
Shasta County offers outpatient services for adults with significant mental health needs, including counseling, crisis assistance, medication management, and social rehabilitation. The center uses a recovery-oriented, strengths-based model, supported by dedicated clinical teams and family advocates who help clients understand and move through the mental health system. Through evidence-based treatment, clients learn practical coping strategies using approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-focused therapy, and group counseling. These services are designed to reduce symptoms and support overall wellness. Each person’s plan is tailored, with individualized care goals and medication support built into their recovery process. The center also provides specialized options, including Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT), to assist individuals who may not be able to reach out for services independently. In addition, the MHSA Volunteer Program creates meaningful, hands-on opportunities while encouraging community involvement and raising awareness of mental health.
