Hope Behavioral Health Clinic

Hope Behavioral Health Clinic is a mental health clinic in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The clinic provides personalized mental health care grounded in evidence-based research, serving patients from age 5 to 65. Its services include medication management, telepsychiatry, addiction therapy, and counseling, with treatment for anxiety, trauma and flashbacks, mood swings between mania and depression, distorted thinking and hallucinations, unhealthy eating patterns and body image issues, impulse control difficulties, and problematic drinking. Care is delivered by psychiatric nurse practitioners, psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychotherapists. The clinic takes a holistic approach that integrates lifestyle treatment, including stress management, exercise, nutrition, and sleep.

The clinic's stated mission is to deliver mental health care that promotes resilience, growth, and healing, and to offer a safe, supportive space where patients can explore their thoughts and feelings and develop strategies for life's challenges. Treatment planning considers emotional, physical, and social facets of a patient's life. A first psychiatric evaluation typically runs 60 minutes and can go longer depending on the problems presented, while follow-up visits range from 15 to 45 minutes. New patients are asked to bring insurance information, a list of current and previously tried medications, a history of prior psychiatric disorders or hospitalizations, and any records of symptoms, mood, triggers, and self-care. No referral is needed to schedule a visit, and the clinic accepts insurance plans as well as cash pay. Visits are currently offered through telehealth.

The clinic is located on N River Blvd NE, close to Cedar Rapids Prep and about a quarter mile from Edgewood Road Northeast. Twin Pines Golf Course is roughly half a mile away, and Eastern Iowa Health Center is about six-tenths of a mile from the clinic.

Patients describe the care in personal terms, with one noting that a provider kept hope alive through difficult circumstances and built confidence and positivity along the way.
