Outpatient Clinic

Opening doors to mental health services for youth and family

For more than 30 years, the OLV Human Services Outpatient Clinic has been a beacon of hope for youth and families facing mental health challenges. We provide care and counseling for children, adolescents, and adults with behavioral, emotional and psychiatric difficulties of varying levels of severity.

Licensed therapists work with the support of a board-certified psychiatrist to provide person-centered services for children and adults. Treatment plans are custom-tailored and may include individual therapy, family therapy, and group therapy, as well as medication management. 

Our program serves a number of school districts and provides services through satellite clinics in the Buffalo Public School System.
