Behavioral Health Clinic in Warner Robins & Macon, Georgia

 

At Southern Primary Care, we believe your mental and emotional health is just as important as your physical health. Our behavioral health team works alongside your primary care provider to deliver integrated, whole-person care, right here in your community.

Compassionate Care for Your Mental & Behavioral Health

Deciding to seek support for your mental or emotional health is one of the most important steps you can take, and you don’t have to take it alone. At Southern Primary Care, we’ve built a behavioral health program that removes barriers and makes getting care as simple and comfortable as possible.

Integration is what sets our approach apart. Rather than referring you to an outside specialist and hoping for follow-through, our behavioral health providers work shoulder to shoulder with your primary care team. Your mental and physical health are connected, and your care should be, too. That means fewer referral gaps, less time spent repeating your story to new providers, and a more complete picture of your overall well-being.

Whether you’re managing anxiety, navigating a difficult season of life, or looking for support with a long-standing behavioral health concern, our team is here for you. We offer behavioral health services at our Warner Robins location Monday through Wednesday, and at our Macon, GA clinic on Thursdays and Fridays.

Common Questions About
Behavioral Health Services

What is behavioral health, and how is it different from mental health?

Many people use the terms behavioral health and mental health interchangeably, but they are slightly different.

Mental health focuses on your emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how you think, feel, and cope with life’s challenges. Mental health conditions may include anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and other emotional or psychological concerns.

Behavioral health is a broader term that encompasses mental health, but it also considers the behaviors and habits that affect your overall health and well-being. This includes things like managing stress, developing healthy coping skills, improving sleep, quitting tobacco or alcohol use, and making lifestyle changes that support better physical and emotional health.

At Southern Primary Care, we take a behavioral health approach because we believe true well-being means looking at the whole picture.

Do I need a referral to see a behavioral health provider at Southern Primary Care?

No referral needed. You can contact us directly to schedule a behavioral health appointment at either our Macon location (Monday-Wednesday) or our Warner Robins location (Thursday-Friday). Call us at (478)477-0966 or book your appointment online.

Does Southern Primary Care accept insurance for behavioral health services?

Yes, we accept insurance for behavioral health services. Patients will be required to pay the applicable specialty copay at the time of their visit. We also welcome self-pay patients. If you have questions about your specific coverage or out-of-pocket costs, our front desk team is happy to help before your appointment.

What should I bring to my first behavioral health appointment?

To make the most of your first visit, please bring: 

  • A current list of all medications you take and current dosages, or bring the medications themselves
  • Your insurance card and a valid photo ID
  • Any prior mental health or behavioral health records, if available

Do you offer behavioral health services for children, teens, and adults?

Yes. Southern Primary Care’s behavioral health services are available for children ages 5 and up, adolescents, and adults.

What if I need a higher level of care or a specialist?

If your needs exceed what we can provide in a primary care setting, we’ll connect you with the right resources. Our team will provide referrals to appropriate specialists or higher-level care programs and stay involved in your care to help ensure a smooth transition.
