What is an Outpatient Therapist?

Outpatient Therapists are also known to us as Crisis Response and Stabilization (CRS) Clinicians. They provide therapy to individuals with severe and persistent mental illness or severe emotional disturbance. They teach coping skills, provide support, and process thoughts and emotions. CRS Clinicians tailor treatment to the needs of the individual to meet the individual’s goals, and also provide assessment and immediate stabilization of acute symptoms of mental illness to ensure safety in crisis situations.
