Why Mental Health Support Matters in Orange Park

Orange Park, nestled just south of Jacksonville in Clay County, is a community full of natural beauty, family-friendly neighborhoods, and a vibrant local culture. Yet, like many towns across the U.S., residents face growing mental health challenges. Recent data from the Florida Department of Health shows rising concerns related to depression, anxiety, and suicide throughout Clay County.

Contributing factors include:

  • The lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic
  • High rates of stress and burnout among working adults
  • Increased social isolation in vulnerable populations like seniors and teens

This growing need highlights the importance of accessible, professional mental health services tailored to the unique needs of the Orange Park community. It’s also worth noting that Orange Park is home to many veterans and active-duty military families due to its proximity to NAS Jacksonville, and this population often experiences heightened risks for PTSD, depression, and substance use.

Mental health isn’t just about addressing crisis moments; it’s about creating long-term tools and strategies that help individuals live fuller, more connected lives. With more people openly talking about their mental health today, it’s essential that residents have access to care that truly meets them where they are.

Our Mental Health Services Near Orange Park

At St. Mary’s Wellness Center, we offer a range of outpatient services designed to meet clients where they are in their mental health journey. We focus on evidence-based therapies, holistic support, and a trauma-informed approach to care. Our team works closely with each client to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses specific concerns and goals.

We provide one-on-one counseling with licensed clinicians trained in methods like:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
  • Psychodynamic Therapy

These sessions help clients unpack their emotions, understand behavioral patterns, and develop coping skills for long-term emotional resilience. In addition to general therapy, we also offer grief counseling, stress management techniques, and solution-focused strategies for those dealing with life transitions.

Healing can also happen in community. Our group therapy programs offer safe, guided discussions on themes like emotional regulation, recovery skills, interpersonal relationships, and goal-setting. This format helps reduce feelings of isolation and builds a sense of belonging. Specialty groups may also be available for topics like LGBTQ+ support, caregiver fatigue, and trauma recovery.

For some individuals, medication can be a valuable part of mental health treatment. Our psychiatric providers offer comprehensive evaluations, medication management, and collaborative care that integrates smoothly with therapy. We treat a wide range of diagnoses, including:

  • Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
  • Major depressive disorder
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

We place emphasis on monitoring side effects, medication adherence, and regular follow-ups to ensure that medications are doing what they should without unnecessary discomfort.

Mental health and substance use disorders often overlap. That’s why we provide integrated dual diagnosis care that treats both mental illness and substance use at the same time. Addressing both conditions together leads to more sustainable recovery and overall well-being. Treatment plans may include relapse prevention planning, motivational interviewing, and support groups that address both addiction and emotional health.

Unresolved trauma can quietly influence everything from relationships to sleep patterns. We prioritize trauma-informed care across all services, ensuring clients feel safe, respected, and empowered. Whether the trauma stems from childhood experiences, military service, or abuse, our clinicians are trained to provide sensitive and supportive care. We use techniques such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based stress reduction.
