Services Offered
Behavioral Health
At WCHC, we understand being healthy means taking care of our bodies physically and mentally - that's why we offer psychiatry and counseling services at our Conowingo and Havre de Grace locations.
Our behavioral health providers work with your primary care provider to offer you comprehensive care.
Fees and Payment
As a Federally Qualified Health Center, WCHC offers a Sliding Fee Program for all services based on income and family size. This program can significantly reduce the amount you pay for health care services. We believe your care should be high quality, accessible AND affordable.
All WCHC patients are eligible to apply for the Sliding Fee Discount ("SFD"). Even patients that have insurance may apply for the SFD to help lower the cost of non-covered services.

Qualifying for assistance from Maryland's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to Maryland's program.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
