At Midwest Anxiety, we believe mental health shouldn’t be confined to the therapy office. Instead of individuals coming to us in a stuffy office, we meet them where they are — in schools, workplaces, doctor’s offices, and community spaces. By integrating mental health services into daily environments, we reduce barriers, normalize conversations about mental health, and create opportunities for real-time growth and support.  Because mental health doesn’t just happen in a therapy office — it happens in the real world.

Our mission is to bring mental health services into the real world — where people live, work, play, learn, and connect.  We integrate our mental health services in schools, workplaces, doctors, dentists, and community spaces to make mental health accessible, practical, and part of everyday life.

We envision a world where mental health is woven seamlessly into daily life — where mental health is found at school, at work, in the doctor’s office, or even on the playing fields. Our goal is to redefine what mental health care looks like integrating our mental health into the community to provide more holistic, coordinated, and effect mental health services for individuals, families, and our communities.

We provide Integrative Health Care, in collaboration with medical offices, offering comprehensive behavioral health services to their patients. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to supporting the whole health of children, adults, and families by integrating mental and behavioral care into the medical settings.

Together, we’re making it easier for patients to access high-quality, compassionate mental and emotional support— right where they already receive medical care. This partnership furthers our community-driven mission to take mental health care out of the therapy office and into the places where people live, work, play, go to school—and now, receive their medical care.

If you take a group of 100 people, 50-80 might have some anxiety about going to the dentist. Of those, maybe 10-20 have really high anxiety. And maybe 5-15 out of the full 100 avoid the dentist entirely because of that anxiety.

YES - people experience anxiety when visiting the dentist — in fact, it’s one of the most common reasons people avoid dental care altogether.

Common reasons why people avoid the dentist include:

• Fear of pain or needles

• Feeling helpless or out of control in the dental chair

• Embarrassment about the condition of their teeth

• Past negative or traumatic dental experiences

• The sound or vibration of dental tools

Here’s the good news! To tackle the “fear avoidance cycle” head-on, we integrate our mental health services directly into dental offices. That’s right! Before, during, and after your dental appointments, we work side-by-side with you and your dental team to provide personalized support—making your visits calmer, more comfortable, and less stressful

This means we have our mental health services directly available in dental offices.

Benefits of Our Integrative Mental Health Services into Dental Offices:

• A mental health professional (counselor, psychologist, social worker) physically onsite, available to consult with patients before/during/after dental procedures.

• Efficient collaboration between your dental team and our mental health team.  Your dental team has direct access to our mental health team in and out of your office.  Through a HIPPA-compliant mobile app, we’ve streamlined your dental teams ability to consult and discuss patients directly with our mental health team.

• Quick and easy inner office mental health referrals within the dental office (i.e. the dentist or hygienist can introduce or connect the patient to a dedicated mental health provider). The setting up and scheduling your patients mental health sessions have been streamlined.  Your patients do not have to go through all the hassle of calling multiple mental health providers to find a therapist that is right for them.

• Scheduling Priority.  Integrative Health Care Partner’s referrals have scheduling priority and we’ll schedule your patients ASAP.  Your patients don’t have to wait on long waitlists to been seen for their mental health treatment.

• Full Access to All Our Experienced Therapists. Integrative Health Care Partners have full access to all our experienced therapists. We have a very diverse therapy group who can cover all your patients mental health needs.

• Full Service Mental Health Services. We provide psychotherapy for all mental health disorders and psychological/psychoeducational assessment of ADHD, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorder in children, adolescents, and adults.

• Promote and Referrals from our Mental Health Team.  We value your partnership and want our clients to have the best care!!! We’ll promote and refer our client’s to your dental group for their dental needs.

• No Cost.  The partnership doesn’t cost your medical group anything. 

• Screening for anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues as part of routine dental care.

• Training dental staff in basic mental health awareness and counseling or anxiety-management skills.

• Use of behavioral health techniques (e.g. CBT, exposure therapy, relaxation, mindfulness) integrated in appointments.

Integrating Our Mental Health Services into Dental Offices Can:

• Reduce anxiety/fear so patients attend and complete dental treatment (not skipping or avoiding due to fear).

• Improve overall patient satisfaction and trust with dentist.

• Prevent escalation of dental problems (when people delay care because of fear, cost, depression, etc.).

• Address co-occurring mental health issues (e.g. depression leading to poor oral hygiene, or psychiatric meds causing dry mouth, which raises risk for dental caries).

• Improve whole person health; dental and mental health are bidirectionally related.
