Essex County Mental Health

About

The mission of Essex County Mental Health Services is to provide community members with opportunities to improve their emotional, behavioral, and psychological well-being through therapeutic partnerships with mental health professionals. ADMISSION POLICY The Clinic is designed to serve Essex County residents who are in need of mental health services for a range of diagnoses.
