MIND MATTERS 💚
Understanding Your Mental Health Care Options
Yesterday, we introduced
“Mind Matters”, our new campaign designed to help our community better understand the mental and behavioral health services available throughout the Lackey Memorial Hospital network. Today, we’re beginning with adult mental health care.
Meet Walker Kimes, PMHNP-BC, an Adult Mental Health Specialist at Community Health Clinic in Forest.
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Walker provides care for adults dealing with concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD and more. Her services include assessment and diagnosis, medication management, therapy and support, individualized treatment planning, and collaboration with other healthcare providers when needed.
That’s exactly what Mind Matters is about. Mental health care isn’t one size fits all. Different providers throughout our network have different areas of training and expertise, and we want to help you better understand those options so knowing where to start doesn’t feel so overwhelming.
Walker sees patients at Community Health Clinic, 505 Airport Road, Suite B, in Forest. (Inside the MAC)
To schedule an appointment, call 601-469-4771.
Over the next several days, we’ll continue highlighting the mental and behavioral health services available throughout the LMH network and helping you understand which type of care may be right for you or someone you love.
Because your mind matters 💚

MIND MATTERS
Understanding Your Mental Health Care Options
Knowing you need help and knowing what kind of help you need can be two very different things.
Mental health care isn’t one size fits all. A psychiatric nurse practitioner, licensed professional counselor and licensed master social worker each bring different training, expertise and services to the table. And depending on your age, your concerns and what you’re experiencing, the right starting point may look different for everyone.
That’s why we created Mind Matters.
Over the next several posts, we’re going to introduce you to some of the mental and behavioral health resources available within the Lackey Memorial Hospital Network and, more importantly, help explain what they do and how they may be able to help you or someone you love.
Our services include care for children and adolescents, adults, and adults age 55 and older through Transitions Behavioral Health.
Maybe you’re looking for help with anxiety or depression. Maybe your child is struggling with ADHD, behavior, school or emotional concerns. Maybe you need counseling to work through grief, trauma, relationships or a difficult season of life. Or maybe you simply know that something doesn’t feel right, but you aren’t sure where to begin.
Start by knowing your options.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll continue breaking down mental health care into information that is practical, understandable and hopefully makes reaching out for help feel a little less overwhelming.
Because your mental health matters.
